Sprint Sees Record Sales With Pre

There’s no absolute number given in the press release, but there is a nice story about someone lining up for the Pre on his wedding day. Analysts predicted between 50,000 and 200,000 handsets would be sold, and since retailers were reporting shortages it’s clear that Sprint could have sold more if it had managed to get the gadgets out there. Also, Sprint is offering a $40 for 500 Mb of data plan for corporate users who don’t use mobile data that much (release).
