Samsung Galaxy S II sales top 3.5 million in Korea alone Posted: 21 Sep 2011, 09:06, by Victor H. phonearena.com We knew the Samsung Galaxy S II was pretty successful - the latest figures pointed to over 5 million S II smartphones sold globally, but now - as the phone is gearing up for a massive US launch (it’s already available on Sprint as the Epic 4G Touch) - data shows that it has hit 3.5 million sold units in its home market of Korea alone. To put this in perspective, it took the original Galaxy S a year to reach 3 million sold units, and growing at such pace the Galaxy S II is likely to reach 4 million by year end and become the first to go past that threshold in the Asian country. This is a huge part of why Samsung’s market share continues to increase in Korea, now reportedly nearing 59% as of September, up from being in the low 50s from June to July. Daily activations of the Galaxy S II in Korea outnumber the ones for Apple’s iPhone by more than seven times. As of September 1st, Samsung reportedly has 23,000 daily activations for the S II, while only 3,000 iPhones are activated each day. But Apple is still to introduce the real competitor to the S II - the fifth-gen iPhone, and some sources suggest this is going to happen on October 4th. Are you still willing to wait for the iPhone or would you rather get the S II? Let us know in the comments below. source: MK (translated) via AsiaDroid

And HTC's: Pre-orders for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 4S Sell Out Within First 10 Minutes in Hong Kong 12:13 pm ET 11/07/2011 - Street Insider All Things Digital reports pre-orders for Apple s (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone 4S were sold out within the first 10 minutes of being offered in Hong Kong. The rapid sellout should rid analysts and skeptics of weak Asian sales due to Siri not understanding Mandarin or Cantonese, which are the two, dominate languages in China. Lines at Apple stores in China look to be scary long on Friday when the phone becomes available to the public. Shares of AAPL are trading down slightly on the day by $2.58 to $397.66.
