I guess the bottom line remains, it's a sh*t-load of phones, there are not a lot of products that exist in these numbers and that wide-spread across the world. And Asia who is usually the test bed for anything that's new and electronic must be hella jealous right now that we got the iPhone first ;-) I still have a problem with these numbers, since not every mobile phone has a SIM card, especially in the US there are a lot of SIM-card-less CDMA phones, and I think in Africa and other countries as well.
