It should be noted that the majority sold are unlocked phones, and they're only offering the phone on contract on T-Mobile and you can only buy it online. There also wasn't much marketing like there was for the Droid, or even the Magic. Right now, this is a phone for people that read Engadget, not the unwashed masses. Once it becomes available in stores, and it gets an advert or two on TV, I assume sales will shoot right up.
That said, it might not be a bad thing for Android if it fails.
