Charter Equity Research’s Edward Snyder analyses that Palm has sold over 300,000 Palm Pre smartphones. The analysis was reported to be based on conversations with insiders from the mobile phone manufacturing industry. Snyder also anticipates that over 15,000 Palm Pre are being manufactured each day and that over a million Palm Pre handset will be distributed in the first quarter of production.

Being a well known pessimist, Edward Snyder’s analysis on the Palm Pre could be considered very remarkable according to the New York Times. Meanwhile, other analysts estimate that about 150,000 Palm Pre were sold, a figure that is 50% short of Snyder’s.
