All the more remarkable, given the marketing power of Samsung, which has blanketed the airwaves with ads for the Galaxy S, overseen a vicious press campaign against the iphone 4, virtually given their phones away with a two-year contract, and reportedly bought sets for every Samsung employee. If the iphone can triumph in Korea, it can do so anywhere!

Apple is eating Samsung and LG’s lunch on their home turf, the second and third largest cellphone makers in the world. Pretty impressive. Koreans are savvy consumers and will get what they want despite the heavy-handed tactics of these two boring monolithic conglomerates that essentially bribed their way to prominence during the 60’s and 70’s in Korea that was ruled by the military dictatorship government of President Park Jung-Hee. Well, now they have to play somewhat “fair” in a much more open society and realize that those tactics of the past won’t work against Apple. Apple is the company that Samsung and LG fear the most.

Meanwhile in North Korea, consumers passed the important milestone of 1 phone sold. Sadly, there was no one else to call.

@ ChrissyOne:
While I sympathize with the plight that the average North Korean is going through + the fact that they are totally brainwashed…
LOL at your comment!

Do the North Koreans still have their night curfew with the electricity switched off by the government?
