Wow. That was awesome! Did your kindy kids teach you that?
Look, I once lived in Korea and worked as a "teacher". I know how humiliating it is. What you need to do is not accept it as anything other than a temporary couple years of fun and booze before heading home to get your life in order.
You can do it. |

Someday I hope to get my life in order so I can engage in flame wars with people I don't know on message boards unrelated to my daily life. That'll be sweet. |

It is. Because when you do, you will comfortably know that the reason the other started it is his crushingly low self-esteem and resentment of those who escaped. You aren't lashing at me.. Noo. I was just trying to help. You are lashing at yourself. |

Dude, if you've resorted to editing the posts instead of responding to them, all you've proved is that you've lost the argument. |

I have a solid side-job going as a freelance reviewer of cell phones for a magazine. They send phones to me to use for 3 weeks and I say nice or really nice things about them. Right now I'm reviewing the O2 XDA Atomlife and next up is the Blackberry Curve. I reviewed, and plan to buy, the Blackjack. I would strongly recommend it.
But I don't speak 10yearold girl, so I don't know if the " " means you were being sarcastic or not. |

| Is this phone available now? I tried looking and all I could see was an advert and the cost. |

i have seen it online for order, but i've yet to see it at a B&M store.
i want to see the software responsiveness before making my final decision as well. i like the design and the functionality so i'm very interested in getting one, but my previous experience with a particular Motorola phone (forgot the model, but i liked the design but the software was horribly slow!) makes me wary of buying a cellphone blind these days. |

My cubicle neighbor has one. I just timed stuff for you.
7 seconds for camera to open.
6 seconds for web browser to open (still have to start wifi etc)
4 seconds for sms system to open.
8 seconds for media player to open (still have to load the file after that).
It is actually quite slow. The blackberry I have now is very fast in comparison. |

Ok, I don't know if they are available in Korea, BUT.
The Palm Treo is stellar. The Blackberry Curve is magical. The Blackberry Pearl is wonderful.
If you want a good PDA phone, there is much selection. But maybe mercantilist Korea doesn't have much variety. |

Does anyone know if I can bring my blackjack from the USA and use it in Korea? It's not actually tied to a contract stateside anymore, as I have a newer phone, but it is quadband and I bought it years ago thinking I might take it overseas.
Are there difficulties in getting a foreign phone hooked up if you bring it to Korea without a service contract on the phone? |

Haha, I was wondering why there was a new post on a thread about this phone! I used it as a temporary phone last summer... wanted to chuck it in the Hangang!
If you'll be here for a while, get a real smart phone when you get over here. I couldn't tell you about bringing phones over, rumor has it it's possible now, but I know that smart phones in Korea have caught up, and some new phones (ie Android) are actually more affordable here than in the US. |
