BlackBerry Q10 is outselling the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Suck it, Samsung. Your $400 Million dollars in adverts can’t save you and your shitty phone. The BlackBerry Q10 is outselling the Galaxy S4!

The Q10 is also selling even better than the Samsung Galaxy S4 at the Carphone Warehouse at Selfridges - the top mobile retail location in the UK.

With Samsung claiming such great sales for the S4, it’s a very impressive feat for the Q10.
