Sprint: Yeah OK, We Didn’t Sell That Many HTC EVO 4G Phones

Remember when Sprint said the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on its launch day was three times the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined, last Monday? Yeah, that didn't really happen. The company now admits it had "inadvertently overstated" the launch day sales of the HTC phone, and that in reality it was in line with the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined. That makes a world of difference.
