Maybe a bit of hype in the title, but no surprises that the iphone hasn't had the expected level of sales in the UK.
Although O2 enjoyed a major spike in iPhone sales in the week before Christmas, this was after disappointing sales from the much-hyped 9 November launch.
Most stores are believed to have missed iPhone targets by some distance, with a typical-sized O2 store selling just one iPhone per week.
There are probably a broad number of reasons for this - some are connected to the downturn in spending, others to their competitors (eg the LG Viewty). Ultimately, data charges not withstanding, and PDA style phone has a limited market and the iphone will never be as ubiquitous as Apple would want it to be.
