Samsung might have sold five million Galaxy S II handsets

TIME AND SPACE TRAVELING Korean technology firm Samsung has pretty much said that it has sold five million of its Galaxy S II handsets, but it also drew short of actually confirming that figure properly.

This morning during its regular look at the IT news landscape the INQUIRER stumbled across a rather cosy but unofficial Samsung blog.

This site, called Sammyhub, is claiming that Samsung has sold over five million Galaxy S II units, but come on, we'll believe it when we see it in a press release.

Samsung has already tried to smoke and mirror us into believing that it sold six million of the handsets, so we are as unlikely to believe this message as we are that it was a rocking horse that trampled our recently manicured garden.

However, the suggestion earned some added credence with a retweet from Samsung's head of UK PR, one Rachel Cameron.

Cameron retweeted the claims, made by another publication that we are vaguely aware of, but so far she seems reluctant to answer our request to confirm the numbers.

Given the fact that it took Samsung over a week to give us any answer in the first place, only the most trusting of The INQUIRER's staff and readers will be expecting to receive a response. µ
