If Apple aimed for a world record with the number of iPhone 3Gs it sold in a matter of days they would have probably succeeded. The iPhone 3G was officially launched last July 11, and after merely three days, Apple already sold one million units all over the world. Apple is very glad with the iPhone 3Gs sales figures. Just think that with the original iPhone, the company reached the one million units mark after 74 days! With this comparison we can obviously see that the iPhone 3G is off to a great start. This sales figure is made because of the receptiveness of the 21 countries where it was shipped off to. These are Austria, Belgium, Australia, Canada, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Hong Kong, Mexico, Japan, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, US and UK.

During the iPhone 3Gs launch the scenario outside Apple’s store as well as its partner AT&T was long lines of customers patiently waiting to get their hands on the device. What makes this device a must-have is fast 3G networking, GPS, and the iPhone 2.0 software. Through these capabilities, the iPhone 3G is also able to gain access to different third party applications. The 8GB 3G iPhone costs $199 and the 16GB model costs $299.

The new iPhone 3G is definitely a phone worth checking out. If your country is already one of the lucky recipients don’t hesitate to buy one if you can.
