Even though the first three days of a device’s shelf life are not that important (long tail, anyone?), device manufacturers and carriers alike tend to be quite obsesses over first-day sales figures.

Sprint recently reported that the HTC Evo out-sold the Palm Pre by a factor of three. Yahoo now quotes Reuters as following:

Sprint said on Tuesday the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on the launch day was in line with the number of Samsung Instinct and Palm Pre devices sold over their first three days on the market combined.

“We originally reported that the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on launch day was three times the number…”We inadvertently erred in the comparison,” Sprint said in a statement on Tuesday.

Not too much to add here…
