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.
