Desi nu a trecut nici macar o zi de la lansarea oficiala a iPhone 4 CDMA in reteaua operatorului Verizon din SUA, iata ca stocul disponibil pentru clienti a fost deja epuizat. Desigur ca nu se stie exact cate terminale au fost puse la dispozitie de Apple, insa vara trecuta o situatie similara s-a intamplat cand AT&T si Apple au dat drumul la precomenzi, atunci fiind vandute in jur de 1.7 milioane de terminale in primele zile dupa deschiderea precomenzilor. Un nou lot de dispozitive va fi disponibil incepand cu 9 februarie, insa chiar si atunci vor fi cantitati limitate. Verizon si-a “rugat” angajatii sa nu achizitioneze terminale iPhone 4 deocamdata deoarece nu exista indeajuns de multe.

Impreuna cu deschiderea precomenzilor Verizon a lansat si un nou spot publicitar pentru iPhone 4. Compania promoveaza agresiv produsul insa Apple nu face fata cu livrarea unui numar suficient de dispozitive.
UPDATE: Verizon a anuntat ca in doar 2 ore a reusit sa “bata” recordul de vanzari in ziua lansarii unui produs. Deci in doar doua ore iPhone 4 a reusit sa intreaca cel mai mare numar de vanzari inregistrate de Verizon in ziua lansarii unui alt produs. Asta spune multe despre iPhone 4 si despre Apple.
VERIZON WIRELESS HAS RECORD SALES ON FIRST DAY OF iPHONE 4
Available to General Public on Feb.10
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – At 8:10 p.m. EST yesterday, Verizon Wireless ceased online orders of iPhone 4 to existing customers and ended the most successful first day sales in the history of the company.
“This was an exciting day,” said Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer for Verizon Wireless. “In just our first two hours, we had already sold more phones than any first day launch in our history. And, when you consider these initial orders were placed between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., it is an incredible success story. It is gratifying to know that our customers responded so enthusiastically to this exclusive offer — designed to reward them for their loyalty.
“I am proud of our employees who worked tirelessly to strengthen and scale our systems, enabling unprecedented customer orders through our website. Overall, it was a very good day,” he added.
Mead also said customers will have another opportunity at being among the nation’s first to own an iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network.
“Yesterday’s launch set the pace for next week when we open up sales to everyone across America.”
The general market launch of the iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network will occur on February 10. The company will open its more than 2000 Verizon Wireless Stores at 7 a.m. It will also be available at all Apple store locations, Best Buy, select Wal-Mart stores, and on-line at verizonwireless.com and apple.com.
