SEOUL, July 13 (Yonhap) -- Domestic sales of the Galaxy S, the biggest bet by Samsung Electronics Co. to challenge the iconic iPhone, have surpassed 300,000 units within 19 days of its debut, SK Telecom Co. said Tuesday.
The milestone was reached at a faster pace than previous mobile phones launched here, said a spokesman for SK Telecom, South Korea's top mobile carrier, which sells the Galaxy S. Data picture
SK Telecom, which accounts for slightly more than half of the country's wireless market, released the Android-based smartphone on June 24, in hopes of halting the quickly rising popularity of Apple Inc.'s flagship product, which is offered by SK Telecom's rival operator, and profiting from increased wireless data sales.
