According to The Wall Street Journal, sales of the recently launched BlackBerry Storm amounted to 0.5 million units eleven weeks after being put on the market. In comparison, Apple sold 1.0 million iPhones G3 in the first 3 days, totalling 6.89 million in the 4th quarter of 2008 and beating RIM record sales of 5.6 million Blackberry units in a full quarter.
RIM considers the Storm a success and is reported to have 0.25 million units manufactured per week. That is roughly 1/3 of the 0.8 million units Apple is rumored to have assembled each week.
