Samsung Electronics said that three million out of its seven million global Galaxy S smartphones shipments were made to the US since it launched the phone there in July. Sales were brisk at all four of the top U.S. operators who sell the phones, chief marketing officer Paul Golden said. "We're in a situation where we wish we had more supply," Golden told Reuters at the sidelines of an event where the phonemaker unveiled a new Galaxy S phone. Golden would not comment on how severe the supply shortage is or when it is expected to ease but said the main bottleneck was Samsung's own Amoled display technology. Samsung has been working on boosting Amoled production to bolster supply, Golden said. Verizon Wireless announced that it would sell the latest Galaxy S device, the Continuum in time for the holiday shopping season. AT&T, Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA also sell the Samsung devices.
