Its impressive considering the pre-order has been open only for few days and its not yet available in US

Yes you read that correctly, according to a report from ​Korea Economic Daily​ a Samsung executive let it slip that 9 million units have been pre-ordered. Let that sink in for a minute. It wasn't that long ago that the Galaxy S II hit the 20 million mark, and now we have its successor reaching half that lofty goal beforeit's been released. Impressive to be sure, especially since the US, a large smartphone market, won't see it released until June at the earliest.
With Samsung taking the lions share of phone sales worldwide is there anything that can be done to stop their dominance in the market? With all the rumors, hype, and expectations leading up to the launch, we already knew Samsung would have a hit on their hands. Even after the initial euphoria wore off, we were still impressed with what Samsung has done with the Galaxy S III. While the vote was almost dead evenbetween this and the HTC One X, odds are good that the Galaxy S III won't get stuck in customs.

Samsung has tendency to over inflate their numbers I'll wait until we get third party verification. The reviews that great for this phone.

Well contrats on such good numbers. I am glad they are doing so well. Now if they would stop making the retarded mistakes they are doing on the tablet market.

Pretty impressive, have no doubt the iPhone 5 sales will dwarf it though. Nobody (not even Samsung) can beat the Apple hype machine.

Yes this is a great thing for them and yes the Iphone5 or what ever will beat it. Average people just want the iphone. Hell I have had 4 android phones and I want an iphone now. All my friends, and gf and her friends that are not computer geeks want iphone.

but I am pleased this is selling so well. Why? because that is good for the market. Competition is good.

Competition is indeed good. Apple should try and embrace it for a change, instead of trying to sue their competitors off the market...

Impressive numbers for an entirely unimpressive phone.

phoneArena already posted a lengthy video review of it:
