There is a link in the article about the Galaxy S2. That looks nice, 4.5" Super AMOLED 2, 1.2GHz dual core, yippee.

Except that custom or stock, a lot of the Canadian phones are tanking.

It was more important for them to sell 10m phones than give us froyo lol.....

While I hate to be devils advocate, I bet a fair few of these were DOA's (at least 10-15%) and they would have accounted for these in sales numbers for sure.

So technically speaking, approx 8.5million would be in the hands of users..

Out of interest, I wonder if the DOA rate was higher-lower than the iphone 4's rates??

I saw a report a few weeks back that stated something along the lines of (don't quote me on this):

- iPhone had amongst the lowest direct failure rate (e.g. internal memory decides to fail).
- iPhone had amongst the highest indirect failure rate (e.g. you drop the phone and it shatters). Other phones held up much better in these scenarios.
