While we have already told you how JPMorgan estimated that Palm and Sprint have sold about 50,000 Pre units, none of the parties involved offered the actual number. Sprint has a press release saying that it had record sales for the first weekend but there’s no actual number. Instead Sprint manages to add to the mix a story of a lucky groom who wanted a Pre before the wedding. We’ll be waiting for the movie but the story starts like this:

On Saturday at 7 a.m., Theodore was 14th in line at an Atlanta-area Sprint store, fidgeting for his new Pre. His wedding was scheduled for 8 a.m. As much as Theodore wanted Pre, he wanted his bride, Anita, to see him at the altar at the appointed time. At 7:45, he abandoned his wait and left his line-number and credit card information with a Sprint store employee, asking that he “hold the 14th phone for me.”

Seriously speaking, Sprint has about 11 days to make the most of the Pre. The iPhone 3GS is coming and given Apple’s track record, the new iPhone will sell like hot cakes given the fact that it finally has most of the features we’ve wanted for two years now.
