After triumphantly marching towards success by offering legendary iPod, the Apple’s iPhone is also creating records by huge sales record of 8,000 iPhones registered on first night of its release in the UK market. As per the official figures the iPhone, O2 reported a sale of some 8,000 such handsets only at the first night of sales.

In Germany too the whole buzz in the market about its record-breaking sales of 10,000 such handsets on the first day of this legendary phone on German ground. In comparison to O2, it is a bit less, still O2 describes its first day sales as “tens of thousands” of iPhones were sold in the UK during the end of the week. However, Apple iPhone created waves of sensation among the mobile users. In trying to enhance sales O2 also employed some remarkable policies by circulating “Getting started” leaflets to the huge crowd waiting eagerly outside their stores to purchase an iPhone on the first day of launch. Even fliers of the shops informed them by repeating “if you do not enter into and remain in an airtime agreement with O2 on one of our tariffs for iPhone, you will not be able to use the phone functionality of your phone”.

Anyway despite the high price tag along with which the much hyped Apple iPhone came, people were very keen enough to buy a revolutionary gadget like the Apple iPhone which is a multitasking device—a camera, music player and a high speed Internet browser all-in-one. Apple’s iPhone is also enhanced with latest technologies iTunes and much more.

As the first day scenario reveals the main issue on the Apple phone’s UK release is the high price it involved with the phone. As per reports available most people peeped in to the stores only to suppress their curiosity and have a look of this much-talked gadget. Some even tried the Apple iPhone, but did not buy one—may be because of its expensiveness– in Britain which amounts to 270 pounds with an 18 months contract.

As per reports of a close associate of O2 the company over 8,000 iPhone activations at the close of business on Friday, which is much higher than the company’s expectations which was only 3,000 activations.
