Approximately over 200,000 HTC EVO 4G smartphones were sold over the weekend?

As we've reported earlier today, Sprint made an announcement on how the HTC EVO 4G sits alone by itself as having the best sales on launch day in their history – beating out other handsets like the Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre. Even though they doused the handset with plenty of adulation, there were no exact figures pointing to the reality of what kind of success came along with its launch. However, an inside Sprint contact indicates that “well over” 200,000 smartphones were sold over the weekend – which goes to say that it beats the figures previously seen with the Pre and Instinct. If the rumored figure holds true, it could give the HTC EVO 4G the best debut for any Android powered smartphone. On the flip side of things, it is still not enough to beat the original iPhone's tally of 273,000 devices sold at a similar time frame. Some argue that the lack of WiMAX coverage across the country affected its sales potential, but nonetheless it looks like HTC and Sprint will be celebrating the good news.
