Hi Kyle. I am a Korean Blackberry User.
I was so shocked. It’s totally wrong. Blackberry doesn’t make success in Korea, not yet.
In Korea, people use cell phones about 40million, bb sells only 50,000.
iPhone 3G +4 sell 2million.

In Korea, people use KAKAO Talk not BBM, Local messanger App.
It work on iOS & android. BB users call for KAKAO, make an app for BB.
Anyway, I want to know the real BB status. Thanks.
