Check out this site to see droids 1st estimated weekend numbers http://www.androidguys.com/2009/11/11/verizon-deploys-100000-droids-on-first-weekend/
Michael Cote of the Cote Collaborative believes Verizon has sold at least 400,000 Droid phones, more than four times as many as BroadPoint AmTech analyst Mark McKechnie's best guess earlier this week. BroadPoint's 100,000 sales estimate for the heavily hyped $200 Google Android-powered phone had been the most widely circulated guess on consumer demand for the Droid to date.
"This is a moving target," Cote says of his larger estimate.
Cote credits McKechnie with having accurate Verizon store Droid allocation numbers, but says that is only part of the picture. Cote, who is a pricing and product strategy consultant to several of the major industry players, says his checks of all Droid outlets including Best Buy (BBY Quote) stores and online sales show a much bigger number.

Your information was actually an excellent addition to the thread. It would be really fun to know exactly how many of these things they sold. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was closer to 100k considering how many customers Verizon has.
I think the 400,000 figure is far more accurate. Have a look at these new mobile web stats. The Droid has already garnered 2.5% of total mobile traffic share. Given Apple's market share which includes the iPhone and iPod Touchs, do the math.
2.5% at 100,000 phones would mean that the 57% Apple share would equal only 2,280,000 iPhones and iPods. Considering AT&T gave sales figures of 3 million iPhones for the last quarter alone, how likely is it that only 2.28 million iPhones/iPods are using the web?
