64,000 and counting

Carrie Pawsey, analyst with Ovum, posted a note on their web site the other day. Orange’s Louis-Pierre Wenes, in an interview posted on Yahoo Multimedia France, stated that Orange has sold 64,000 handsets in the first two months of launch.

Wow, here we go. Orange is promoting unik with only two handsets and has managed to attract 64,000 subscribers in 60 days. That’s an excellent start.

As unik broadens it’s handset portfolio and consumers become more comfortable with the technology, I believe this will become an unqualified hit for Orange.
