Perhaps, but at my store they had to go pick one up from another store because they were out.
Love it, so far.
Surely some of them have sold; I didn't say all of them were sitting there.
I like android, but that thing is too big - for me.
THat's SOLD, not shipped.
Engadget and GSMArena got it wrong as usual.
That's 5 million sold, not shipped.

samsung clarified to the verge that it was 5 million sold and not shipped. now my doubting self still wonders whether this is sold to end users or sold to carriers and stores. i don't know, but it is a significant number. and it's becoming clear that there are those who want a bigger screen, as well as people who are content with smaller ones. isn't it possible apple could do to the iphone what they did to the ibook long ago when they had both 12 and 14" models at the same resolution?

Either way, why would Apple change their strategy?
This. So Samsung sold 5million notes in 5months. Apple sells millions of iPhones within days.
No one is suggesting they do.
The nay-sayers said something like this wouldn't sell.
Clearly they were wrong.
Way to miss the point.
I guess I read it differently.
I think Apple needs to make the iPhone screen bigger.
Not necessarily as big as the Note as that is clearly a niche product even at 5 million units sold.
The small screen on the iPhone is one of the main reasons I switched to Android.

Apple shipped over 93 million iPhones as part of the 488 million smart phones shipped in 2011. Samsung shipped almost 92 million total (all models). With that said, this trickle will become a torrent.
Dell's phone had a lot of other issues as well. Size was just one of many MANY issues with that phone. Even if the dell phone was 4" it was still a POS. The size was maybe its only good quality.
Top it off Dell's phone was not sold threw a carrier nor did it really have anything about the phone that took advantage of the larger size. Both of which the Note has.
That is pretty good of the Note. Simple truth to the matter is right now the iPhone's 3.5in screen is tiny.
Comparatively, it does have a small screen, but I like being able to use my phone with one hand easily. I think I can with a 4", but more than that is pushing it.
It took the first iPhone twice as long as the Note to do 5 million.
Everything is relative.
