AT&T Says Only 146,000 iPhones Activated

The New York Times is reporting that AT&T is saying that they activated 146,000 iPhones in the first two days, which is a DIRECT CONTRADICTION contradiction to speculated numbers.
Apple’s earnings report is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, this should be interesting. I don’t agree that only 146,000 iPhones were sold, I’m sticking with the 500,000 estimate.
