Any NK citizen can use it at the national people's library. Again this was in either the vice documentary or the CNN one.

We tend to imagine that the North Koreans are like brainwashed robots with no joy in their lifes who do not know anything about the rest of the world. That is false. The North Koreans are very friendly people who love to make jokes, play pranks on each other, play games and laugh. They are very interested about what happens elsewhere in the world and they are also willing to discuss politics and analyse North Korean politics. However, they might analyse it correctly, but they come to the false conclusion, often because their "facts" are wrong. But this is not their fault.

Smuggling has been occuring for years in NK, but there's no way there's smartphones and the like available to the normal people there, especially to 2 million people.

[QUOTE]As of May 2011, 60% of Pyongyang's citizens between the age of 20 and 50 have a cellphone.[10] On June 15, 2011, StatCounter.com confirmed that some North Koreans use Apple's iPhone and Nokia's smartphones.[11] As of November 2011, no mobile phones can dial into or out of the country, and there's also no Internet connection. 3G network covers 94 percent of the population, but only covers 14 percent of the territory.[12] As of January 2013, tourists are now able to bring their own mobile phones into the DPRK,[13] although without a North Korean sim (which is currently unavailable to foreigners) the phone will not be able to make or receive calls. Previously foreigners had to surrender their phones at the border (or airport) before entering the country.[/QUOTE] Yes 98% was far fetched too but it wasnt a big difference, the fact is that NK has smartphones and an ISP, they have a good built 3g network but they need it to work

Is that really necessary?
Funny how if it's a smartphone people assume its a HTC or Samsung, when there are many just as powerfull smart phones from Chinese companies and two Chinese companies sell in the west ZTE being one and Huawei being another and a fucking huge company too, they overtook Sony Ericson last year.
I bet it's an iPhone; Apple Maps probably shows Korea as one country, which he would love.
soon Kim Jong Un will announce that he invented the smartphone

It's doubtful the sources cited on wikipedia even got realistic numbers in the first place, none of them cite their own sources besides a defector.
