Analyst Estimate: 300k Pre's Sold So Far
With Palm being deliberately coy over its actual Pre sales figures, analysts estimates are the only thing we have to go by until the quarterly overall unit numbers hit. The latest guesstimate as to how many Pre's have sold comes from Charter Equity Research analyst Ed Snyder.
Mr. Synder says that his 'channel checks' suggest that Palm has sold above 300,000 units so far and Palm is still trying to catch up with demand. He thinks that Palm sold at least 120k during launch weekend alone. He further goes on to speculate that Palm is producing 15k units a day and will likely reach 1 million sold by years end.
In his same research note, Snyder also says that he thinks a WCDMA version (GMS/UMTS) of the Pre "appears imminent." He believes it will start selling in other counties via Telefonica in September.
Not content to stop there, he also further reckons that a non-Pre WebOS-based device will debut with Verizon in early 2010, and a WebOS-based "Centro like" device with AT&T soon after that.
Thanks to Tech Trader Daily for the tip.

RE: If I cal myself an analyst will you quote me?
I'd speculate 300k at the very high end - you would have to subtract returns from that number.

I don't know why people keep try to make it so complicated.
(And to answer the original question as posed by the thread title, no. As sbono13 said, your pattern has been well established too, and the word "credibility" definitely doesn't come to mind.)
Hey Palm! Where's my PDA with Wifi and phone capabilities?
