Does anyone know how to organise one of these?
I have seen them in Gangnam station but are they available without a contract?

[misher]

I would like one too but they just sell the older Bold model. ANy of the new models haven't been approved yet. Also, expect to pay a whopping price for one of them (990k?).

If you sign a contract, they're dirt cheap. With no contract, you have to pay the full retail price which is stupid expensive. This is the same as it is in the US (or so I hear since I have no first hand experience with phones in almost a decade).

the bold 9700 is out now-- it isnt just the old bold model. both are available.

i got the old bold model in september from a place in gangnam clled 3kh.co.kr great guys.

i paid about 450,000 for the handset, then dropped a 200,000 deposit. its under a two year contract, but meh--- ill break it when i leave this august.

So are Blackberry's locked internationally too?
And who knows where I can get one unlocked?

I got a bold 9000 out here (the older one), you can get it for 650k from SK Telecom. They plan to release the 9700 out here soon enough. Its behind the times but at least you got your crackberry ^^

BlackBerry sucks donkey dingleberries. I've had a Curve for two years, and can't wait to ditch it and Verizon for an iPhone.

The only reason to have a BlackBerry is if you're corporate and work supplies it for you. It has better security features than an iPhone, but that's about it for plusses.
