    It looks like the million device order has been sussed out... Brightstar. AllthingD is running the story (link below).

    While good to know the buyer it raises an interesting question about future US sales:

    �Our checks indicate the order was from Brightstar, whom Verizon is relying upon to handle the big-box retail and dealer agent channels,� Detwiler Fenton managing director Mark Gerber told AllThingsD. �It suggests Verizon doesn�t believe this will be a strong seller since it normally tries to allocate hot product on its own.�

    From Verizon's perspective, the inventory risk lies with someone else. If sales are strong, they win, if they are weak then it's someone else's problem.
