You’ll hear both elation and disappointment from a variety of sources over how many Droid phones were sold over the weekend. Those in the “half full” camp say that say that selling an estimated 100,000 phones in the span of a weekend is good news and that Motorola/Verizon/Google should have nothing to worry about going forward. Those with a more pessimistic outlook suggest that Motorola was hoping for stronger sales of their new flagship mobile device and sluggish sales may paint a more gloomy future for Motorola — hoping to bolster business with the new phone.

Seems the opinions vary wildly between bloggers and those with real money to invest. While it’s hard to judge success by the fickle tendencies of stock market investors, Motorola shares have taken a slight hit today dropping as much as 1.5% at midday trading.

The Street sees these sales numbers as trouble for Motorola and Verizon which puts this weekend’s push in the same performance class as the Palm Pre. The Apple iPhone 3Gs sold 1 million units within the first three days of launch, by comparison. Again, missing from a lot of naysayer opinions you will read, unemployment wasn’t exactly over 10% when the new iPhone debuted and confidence in the economy was fairly strong, albeit blind.
