Just wondering.

Bought an Optimus One in Korea with the hopes that I could use it back in Canada. One can use phones that use GSM (Rogers) as well as CDMA (Telus, Bell), but I was under the impression that there are newer standards these days...

so...what's the deal? Other than those with the iphone, is there anyone out there who's successfully used a smartphone from korea back in North America?

thanks!

Phones from SK Telecom and KT (Olleh) can pretty much be universally used as long as they are unlocked first.

Phones from LG Telecom (U+) can't.

So does that mean that an SK or KT Galaxy S2 will work in north america?
Why only those companies?
Do any companies in Korea use SIM cards?

i had no problems using my galaxy s 1 in the US last winter last year. SK told me that the galaxy s comes unlocked so there wasn't anything else for me to do but pop in a sim card and add the new network.
