Numbers are hard. Either that, or someone over at Sprint-Nextel wasn't paying very close attention when tallying up the number of HTC Evo 4G smartphones sold at launch. Maybe both.
"We originally reported that the total number of HTC Evo 4G devices sold on launch day was three times the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined. We inadvertently erred in the comparison," Sprint said in a statement.
After carrying the 1 and correcting any other mathematical errors that were made, Sprint now says that the actual number of HTC Evo 4G devices sold on launch day was in line with the two other above-mentioned smartphones. Even still, that's not all bad if the real numbers from the first weekend come out to 150,000 as some analysts have estimated.

Still pretty damn good for a phone that didn't get the media blitz treatment that the Droids and iPhones get. Every Sprint Store and Best Buy in town here was sold out before noon.
