130,000 Pre-orders for South Korean iPhone Handsets
Preorders for the iPhone 4 in South Korea were so overwhelming Wednesday that they brought down the servers of carrier KT Corp. 130,000 handsets were sold by 7 p.m. local time in the first 13 hours of registration. KT had to expand its server as the company’s pre-ordering website crashed due to the number of people wishing to pre-order.
The country’s No. 2 mobile carrier started taking in applications at its website and its 2,900 shops nationwide beginning at 6 a.m. The exact date of launch in South Korea, which is only known as sometime in September, has yet to be specified.
Wow !! At this economic rate people still want to get this phone like it is fresh hot cakes.... and yeah I wish it were as easy as buying hotcakes.
