    honestly after BB results from last quarter there is no way BB is top selling. I am sure that many phones sell more than 1 million in 3 months time in SA

    This is either sales or visits (not clear to which) to *one* site not a market analysis.

    smartphones outsell the Galaxy S5 and Apple's latest iPhone."

    Just doesn't match the numbers..

    In 2014 there were just over 10 million smartphones sold in South Africa, which was a 70 percent increase over 2013. Even if sales haven't increased at all, that's about 2.5 Million smartphones a quarter. BlackBerry only sold a little over one million smartphones in the whole wide world - have to believe that at best South Africa only accounted for maybe 5% of those sales so possible 50K units moved. That would only be about .02% of all smartphones sold in a quarter there.

    I imagine that it is possible that all BlackBerry combined might have out sold the one model of the S4 or the two models of the iP6 and iP6+. As a big portion of the phones sold there are in the sub R750 category, which BlackBerry can't even touch with the Z3 or an old BBOS device.

    That is just embarrassing for us South Africans.

    Strangely I don't personally know many people with BBs anymore, one of our interns has a 9900, and I think that is about it. Even our house keeper uses a nice little ZTE Android.

    I have a Q10 that I am going to revive when I get the time to just to give BB10 a good go daily.

    And yet every week I see a Currie Cup or Super XV rugby match transmitted from SA the man of the match is always getting a Samsung device and Huawei is advertising all over the Shark tank. Every time I see a well to do person there posting on social media it is from an iPhone.
