EveryThing You Ever Wanted to Know about SmartPhone Usage
including Apple iPhone and SamSung Galaxy in South Korea

 

( Preface ) the emergence of SmartPhones a decade post-Millennium, have changed the demographics of cell phone usage AND the whole portable devices scene including mp3 players and electronic dictionaries . this has happened even in South Korea, where although now a mighty iT information technology Power-House is NOT Apple country by nature .

I have decided to add this ‘SmartPhone’ Page in addition to the existing ‘Cell Phone’ Page instead of editing the latter to keep record of those memorable times, as all the cell phones we had are like nostalgia of past lovers ..

a ‘Page’ on my BLog is a statuisque content expected to hold true for a couple of years, more reminiscent of information and Guide,
while a ‘Post’ – divided into respective ‘Categories’ – is more of an instant trend that accents the joyful moment in electronics migration,
