heading back over to korea, and couldnt be more enthused about the amendment to the registration of foreign handset rules... looking to bring back over an iphone and though I could buy one factory unlocked from the apple store, i'd just as rather find an iphone 3 or 4 running an older baseband (modem firmware) and do a soft unlock/jailbreak.

my only concern is maybe some incompatibility with kt's network, as about almost 2 years ago when i got the first blackberry released in korea, it took a couple of months before I could receive intercarrier mms, etc...

thoughts, opinions?

It'll work, the only thing you have to keep an eye on is some apps that won't work. Banking apps here will detect if you're jail broken and refuse to function. I don't know what other apps might have issues with that. Someone posted a fix awhile ago for one or two banking apps, but each one has to be fixed individually.

Very interesting. Thinking about taking the leap to an iPhone in Korea myself.

How does the iPhone function as a GPS in Korea?

What's the best route to getting an iPhone for a foreigner right now? Unlocked from Apple? Package deal with KT?

Please post your experiences...
