Korea: iPhone demand is off the hook … 911 we need more!

iPhoneAsia Korean mobile enthusiasts are crowding KT stores in search of iPhones. KT is Apple’s authorized carrier in Korea, and they are are selling every iPhone they can lay their hands on. The demand is so strong that KT has put in a 911 call to Apple in search of additional iPhone supply. An article in today’s Korea Times: quotes a KT spokesperson;

news-korea-kt-iphoneWe’ve (KT) got some 90,000 new iPhone subscribers, including 53,000 pre-orders after KT officially began local sales of the smartphone on Nov. 28. Although KT is receiving more from China,we need more!

The unprecedented demand for iPhone in Korea has surprised many technology pundits and has jolted regional powerhouses Samsung and LG. Samsung has launched a Nixonian (think dirty tricks) campaign to undermine iPhone’s success in Korea. This anti-iPhone effort is being held up to some ridicule in Korea and may actually backfire.

Apple countersues Nokia over cell phone technologies

Appleinsider In October, Nokia sued Apple over the alleged use of patented wireless standards in the iPhone. Nokia has argued that the iPhone infringes on GSM and wireless LAN patents it owns. That suit involves 10 patents owned by Nokia.

In a brief press release Friday, Apple announced its countersuit as a “response” to Nokia’s own legal action.

“Other companies must compete with us by inventing their own technologies, not just by stealing ours,” said Bruce Sewell, Apple’s General Counsel and senior vice president.

100K iPhone Sold in China

iPhone in China was slow, slower than many people expected. But is it picking up, slowly. Here is the news from ApleInsider.

While the six-figure sales in China suggest demand for the device has grown since its launch, some still believe it’s not enough. One analyst noted that an additional 100,000 iPhone users among China Unicom’s 144 million wireless subscribers will not make a huge difference for the company.

But part of China Unicom’s strategy is bolstering its brand-new 3G network, which launched alongside the introduction of the iPhone. The company stated it hoped to add over 1 million 3G users every month, and it reached that goal in October.

China Unicom is also a beneficiary of China’s broad gray market, where many unlocked, no-contract iPhones are believed to be purchased at prices cheaper than what the wireless carrier offers. At the moment, those users are most likely to use their handset on China Unicom, which is the only network that supports the phone’s 3G capability.

In November, China Unicom executives revealed that the iPhone had sold just 5,000 units in its first four days. Analysts believe the device was held back by its lack of Wi-Fi — excluded because of a temporary ban on the technology by the Chinese government — and the availability of devices on the gray market. Still, officials with China’s second-largest wireless provider have high hopes for the iPhone, predicting that 10 percent of their 3G customers will use Apple’s smartphone in the next three years.
