I suspect this is just O2 spin.

For a contrary account, check how it looked to the mobile retailers:

“The mobile operator also confirmed the iPhone was its fastest-selling handset “by a significant margin”.

I mean, at that price point and the much talked about contract, I don’t see why there is a negative spin on the story. Its been a success by pretty much any measure.

circa. 200,000 since November… i’m sorry but that sounds pretty fantastic to me. Consider that it took about the same length of time for Apple to sell 1m in the States (74 days), yet they are about 5 times bigger than this country.

I think the Gartner targets are pretty absurd.
