Yeah I have to agree. O2 saying that its the fastest selling mobile device ever is probably fairly true, because really its the first mobile phone in the UK thats had an "event launch" rather than just sneak quietly out onto the market.
Apple created this huge hype and probably everyone interested in buying one has already gone and done so, whereas phones like the N95 or whatever, they sell loads, but over a much longer period because they catch on through word of mouth or whatnot. The actual sales comparisons will be much more interesting, as will be any drop off rate.
