Verizon didn't report numbers this morning,
but they did indicate the iPhone 4 proeorders broke their first day sales records in the first 2 hours. Those first two hours were 3am-5am Eastern time (12am-2am Pacific). Verizon must be really happy, as this happened with relatively low marketing costs for them, compared to say the amount they spent on "
Droid" marketing and commercials for other various phones. Getting the iPhone years after it came out may benefit their bottom line more then being the initial launch partner.
