Still a growing market for BB in Thailand and Indonesia, where they are just beginning to deploy 3G. But yes.. many folks are buying Iphones, even when the local network lacks the capacity to support it properly. Had my Android 4G with me over the summer while I was tooling around on my 6 country SE Asian junket and it was nice for WiFi calling (when I could get a strong enough signal). However, of course, it wasn't unlockable (without major tinkering) so I purchased a BB as a backup. If you look up the news you'll see they practically had a riot in Jakarta over the release of the new BB. Seems they were offering 50% discounts on a limited number of them and 5x the number of people showed up to get one. There were some injuries in the mob rush. Hawk
