[The Chosun Ilbo, October 16 2007] Samsung Hits Big with Low-Priced Phone

A low-priced phone from Samsung Electronics has set a new sales record in less than a year after its release, becoming the fastest Korean phone to reach the 10 million sold mark.

Unveiled last November, the SGH-E250 is part of Samsung's strategy to target the low-cost market. The phone quickly sold 7.9 million units in the first half of the year, and joined the "ten million club" last month.
