100,000 units sold for Motorola Droid launch

The much anticipated launch of the Motorola Droid arrived last week, and with it a high expectation of the public response. Although the earliest reports indicated that Verizon stores had a lackluster turnout for launch, this week we have received the official numbers and the Droid made a solid debut.

Verizon sold some 100,000 Droid phones over the past weekend, which was more than half of all the Motorla Droids stocked. Although it isn’t as impressive as the iPhone 3GS launch, which sold some 1 million units, it is quiet an achievement for Verizon.

The numbers are oddly reminiscent of the launch of another phone that was seen as an iPhone competitor, the Palm Pre. The Pre sold almost the same amount for its weekend release but has somewhat dwindled in popularity since.
