In case you were wondering, Apple over the weekend sold more than 700,000 iPhones to rocket past analyst predictions and shatter AT&T's record by selling more iPhones in three days than Motorola's RAZR did in its first month. Some say that isn't unexpected, and the real challenge is selling the next couple of million. So far, consumer behavior is in line with the hype and at&t's and Apple's expectations.
