During their quarterly conference call Apple stated they sold 270,000 iPhones in the first 30 hours. That’s somewhere between $75,000 to $90,000 each minute. Apple’s stock punched through $150 after hours and was still trading over $148 when I published this.

The day prior, AT&T claimed activation of 146,000 iPhones over the first two days. That figure seemed very low and the news duly tanked Apple’s stock.

Another way of reading those numbers is that AT&T botched 124,000 activations. Considering my own iPhone activation experience and that of many friends, this seems very possible. Thankfully things have been flawless since.
