No one can deny the growing popularity of the iphone. These smartphones are taking over the cellular world one user at a time. Apple has continued its pursuit of global smartphone domination and for the most part succeeded. Roughly 60,000 iPhones were sold in South Korea on the first day they were available. While that hardly comes close to the 1 million iPhone3G S models sold in the United States upon its arrival, only 400,000 smartphones have been sold in South Korea, which has one of the largest mobile subscriber bases in Asia.



The end of an iPhone exclusivity agreement in Europe has also boosted sales. An impressive 600,000 iPhone handsets were sold during the third quarter in France alone, according to Tech Radar.
