I'd buy it right now for future use in Korea if it was 400,000 won. I have a Galaxy S and I really don't like it. An iPhone for 400,000 would be worth it even if I had to wait a month or two to use it. For 550,000, not so much.

Or for a several hundred thousand won less (with a purchased plan), you could buy a BRAND NEW iPhone 4 16gig that is also FULLY FUNCTIONAL on KT and is not just a glorified iTouch (as you are offering).

and you can easily unlock your korean purchased iPhone 4 for use outside korea.

Can you give more information on how to actually use the phone once youre out of Korea? Can I use any service provider, or only certain ones?

Well, you can't use the phone right now anywhere other than the U.S. It sucks, but that's why I'm selling it cheaper than the other iPhone 4 here. But eventually, an unlock will come out. Or some other method of being able to use it in all the other countries. For example this:

http://www.ihackintosh.com/2011/03/iphone-4-baseband-2-10-04-3-10-01-unlock-with-gevey-sim/

The other DEV teams are working on an unlock for it now so it's only a matter of time. I'm sorry I can't tell you when that will be thought. Hopefully, soon.

BUMP BUY!

Got mine for 250,000 won from a co worker, still haven't unlocked it, but when I took it to KT M&S, they told me with a simple phone call to KT headquarters, they could unlock the device for use in Korea.

I will let you guys know what happens today when I unlock it, maybe OP would have a better chance selling if people knew how easy it is to *legally* unlock a US (ATT locked) iphone 4 Smile

I am guessing that they misunderstood you when you mentioned "unlock." Most likely, they are just adding it to the IMEI whitelist, and it will still be unusable after they do that (until you actually remove the carrier lock). But, please keep us updated because I would be really psyched if KT is able to unlock an ATT iPhone.

Just thought I should chime in here,

Apple provides us with an interface to let us unlock our (KT's) iPhones, but not anyone elses. Part of the IMEI is an indicator to what carrier the phone belongs to, and when we try to put a non KT IMEI into the system, it just spits back a message that says the IMEI does not belong to us.

So... in essence, KT cannot unlock that AT&T phone, but it is possible to have the IMEI registered into our system (just in case an unlock comes out later).



Hope that helps!

hey,

just read this thread over, and $550 is too much for an iphone 4 not BNIB.


cheers
