Don't Buy The G1 Sales Figures

Informationweek's Marin Perez is contesting reports claiming T-Mobile has sold 1.5 million preorder units of the G1. According to him, all these reports are based on a The Motley Fool article which states 1.5 million G1s were sold through preorder and another 2 million allocated for retail sales. And while it is true T-Mobile sold out its preorder alloment and re-upped, the 1.5 million figure was made up. In fact, neither T-Mobile, HTC (the OEM) nor Google has confirmed this, something which they would have loigcally done if the sales figure were true.
