    You may remember Gadget Masters from such articles as "BlackBerry Overtakes Samsung in the UK, Exceeds 20% in Market Share" or "BlackBerry�s Market Share in Canada Surpasses 20%, Closing in on Android" or "BlackBerry 10 Can Run iOS Apps Using iOS App Player". Just when you thought Gadget Masters could not get any stupider, they manage to surpass even themselves.

    Quoting the entire article here so we can marvel at it.

    South Korea is where Samsung was founded and where it is headquartered. Thus, Samsung smartphones have long enjoyed loyalty among South Korean consumers. However, according to leading online retailer Expansys, the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 are currently outselling the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Galaxy S4 Mini in South Korea.

    In fact, the BlackBerry Z10 is the number 1 selling smartphone in South Korea, while the BlackBerry Q10 is at number 2. Although the Galaxy Mega 6.3 is close behind at number 3, the Galaxy S4 is trailing as a distant number 17.

    This is consistent with our previous observations that BlackBerry 10 smartphones are selling well outside the U.S.

    I know outselling Samsung in south Korea is mission impossible. However it is better than hearing that blackberry is dead or gonna die for every single day.

    True. Because that's what I hear and see everyday where I live. In real life and online. Everyone are saying things that make other people avoiding anything related to BlackBerry. Or want to come and add the hate. You can Google BlackBerry Indonesia and translate the comments if you want to know what happen with BlackBerry here

    I'm really a BlackBerry fan for years now, a happy Z10 owner and wish BlackBerry all the best. Anyway, when I read the thread title I was like "WTF!?"....then after opening it and it said "Gadget Masters" I thought "ah sure....".

    That guy is nothing but insane.

    They could have used limited marketing resources to sell smartphones in Korea.

    For some reason, Blackberry did not feel like releasing high-end smartphones in developed Asian markets! They are trying to sell to the rich people in emerging markets where as an average consumer can afford a high-end smartphone in a developed country.

    Hahahahahaha the gadgetmasters is a joke! Seriously... the dude claims to be impartial but this Michael Li is obviously biased towards BlackBerry. I'm a fan and all but I don't want to be lied to so I can feel good only to be shown the opposite. So far, all the exclusives that this guy has reported has turned out to be highly exaggerated or total lies. Gadgetmasters yeah right... more like lie masters.

    It's not "hating" on BBRY to point out crazy sh** that people post on the interwebs. It's called being a realist. You can be a BlackBerry investor AND a realist. It just seems to be a very small subset on CB.
