Best selling touch screen in Finland: Samsung's pink ribbon fighting breast cancer

You didn't see this one coming, did you. While us tech people think that people go crazy over this and that technological hype, purchase decisions are done by what really matters.

Samsung's pink ribbon campaign made their S5230 the best selling touch screen device in Finland at the end of 2009. During the campaign, Samsung sold over 20 000 pink ribbon devices (S5600 ja S5230). Five euros of each devices went directly to  the Finnish Cancer Foundation, adding up to 110 000 euros.

To spell it out, if Samsung's pink ribbon phone was the best selling touch screen device over the 2009 Christmas holidays, it was selling more than iPhone, or any Nokia or Android touch screen phone. Something to think about. And if people were bying pink touch screen devices, they most likely were bought by women and for women. Something else to think about.

And to get this result with a phone that has probably the most difficult color, is quite amazing. To spell this one out, pink is NOT every girls favorite color.
