Nokia N8 Ships

in News on September 30, 2010 at 6:16 am PT

How many iPhone 3G S handsets will Apple sell this weekend? The answer: 500,000, according to Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster, who says early sales will be slower than those of the 3G thanks to a dramatic change in value proposition and a launch limited to eight countries.
