I'm not sure how likely this would be to happen, considering how many companies keep certain numbers close to the vest, but I think it would be cool to have a counter on the the 5" page, or maybe even the home page, with how many units sale.

Each time a transaction is made for a 5", it's immediately increased by one. The same for the 6". You might can have it so that you can see how many are in stock of each color, and compare that to how many are left.

Device --------- sold ---- stock
5" Slate Blue --- 12 ------ 2,288
5" Maroon ------- 7 ------ 2,293

Just a random thought. I doubt if Astak would like their numbers out there for any competitor to see. Although it would make it easy to see what the strong sellers are.
