Sales figures are published by year. Read RIM's finacial reports, read Plam's, read anyones. I have previously said the same thing while being more explicit several time shere.....didn't think it was necessary to include "the fine print" saying the same thing in every single post. It's the kind of thing that "goes without saying" unless you are trying to divert attention from a failed point. Go back and read, I didn't use the word "ever". I am going by industry standards and convention in which sales figures are quoted yearly.
Wasn't aware this was a gaming console forum. Sarcasm won't account for your failure to produce source showing a single device covered under the rules of the forum for discussion in this section that has sold 1 million units.
I found this saying T-Mobile sold 172k in 3rd quarter

But for the sake of argument, lets say 1) you can produce a source. and 2) over a million iPhones doesn't exceed the 1.1 million figure...
The statement gets revised to:
"The IPhone has sold as many units over a weekend than the biggest selling device* ever did in 10.9 months" .... yeah like that puts the two in the same category.
* concentrate now, we are in "other handhelds" section remember... discussion of gaming consoles, timex watches, blenders, Tamagotchi and toys ya get with McDonalds Happy Meals not relevant.
Not impressive despite essentially matching in a weekend your claimed smarphone sales champion sidekick sales for a year ?
And tell that to AT&T stockholder drooling over a new 570 million dollar revenue stream. Tell that to the competing carriers whose customers paid the $167 average price to get out of existing contracts.
