    Any guesses to what this could possibly do? 200k? 500k? I'm guessing 1mill would be a gangbanging party

    they sold 200k passports during opening weekend...I'm guessing they'll be around the 600k....if they include the carrier sales. Its just a guess though, I hope its more, Im itching for another new device announcement!

    Can we all just figure out when "opening weekend" is, once and for all.

    If they did 200k passports and more were waiting to be ordered, I would assume 500k min is the number. Anything north of that would be great for the company. they better get the hub up to snuff and fast. Once someone discards it,they r gone

    Probably not too many. It'll pick up steam eventually, but with almost no pre-launch marketing effort,.. can't see people rushing to go for it aside form CrackBerry folks.

    25K maybe. My perception:

    a) Blackberry folks want Blackberry OS, not Android - Strike 1
    b) Android folks might be used to cheaper phones then $700 - Strike 2
    c) AT&T only just cut out every other player, limiting distribution - Strike 3

    I honestly have no clue what in the world BB is doing these days.

    Including pre-orders I'm guessing 200K.
    They haven't fully ramped up their marketing, so opening weekend is not a good benchmark.

    I believe they'll clear 2M for the quarter though!

    a) Well, just looking at the number of people on this forum alone that have posted in the Priv giveaway post on the main page tells me that a lot of BlackBerry folks are willing to try Android (including me). As of this post, it hit past 1500 comments since it went up 2 hours ago. Not a perfect metric, of course, but it does mean there is quite a bit of interest right here.

    b) Samsung seems to do well with some of their $700+ android phones.

    c) AT&T is merely the "first" carrier in the U.S. to offer the thing. That won't be the case forever.

    As to the actual number? Who knows. I can't begin to guess these things.

    200 K, if lucky... I'm basing it on the lack of carrier knowledge - "no one knows when it's coming".

    My guess would be 50k or so, only a few places with opening weekend stock.

    Launch seems to be sporadic. Carriers quoting different weeks and months when it will be available. It all depends how many carriers launch the same weekend. 100k isn't inconceivable. I suspect BBRY is staggering launch to gauge interest and then manufacture JIT. Wish them the best. Set expectations low and then when they blow it out of the park people will be surprised and elated. Set unrealistic goals and there will be a lot of disappointment and negative posts. Thus my goal of 100k.

    Not a lot...only one carrier in the States...300 to 400K world wide. Hope Amazon gets it!
