That’s such a big deal! Android phones are selling over 200,000 per day. It takes Android only 5 days to hit 1 million.
In Germany we´ve sold more than 1,5 million iPhones. It is and it always will be the best Smartphone ever. I love it!
I feel so proud that I’m an iphone user. I just bought an unlocked iphone 4 recently and these types of news validates that I made the right purchase. As for the android phones, seriously 200,000 a day? Kindly give your reference so we can see. That would really help.
