I'm under the impression that market release is limited however they do have a huge manufacturing plant here in Masan where they make them for overseas sales so someone there might be able to hook you up. |

I bought one of the only Nokia's on the market a little over a year and a half ago and I am relieved to say that I finally got rid of it. Actually, it was a great phone in terms of reception and it looked great, however, besides having an English menu (which was a plus for lots of phones a while back), it had crap all for options.
I bought the Nokia originally out of loyalty to the company which I have bought numerous phones from in Europe and Canada. Though, Nokia is just breaking into the Asian market and therefor has poop all that can compete with the Korean phones out there.
I would recommend finding a phone with an English change-over setting and the options you want. FYI, I also paid a freakin lot for that phone at 450,000 won at a time when that would have bought me one of the colour camera phones which were new on the market. |

I too had one a couple of years ago, again out of loyalty to the company having had several in england.
Nothing special ay all. Had problems with it.
Should have bought the motorola at the time instead for a little more.
Unless you really love them, I wouldn't bother. |

I was asking for a coworker who happens to have one. i just have the cheapest 010 phone I could find. I don't need all those features, just the basic setup. |

I'm very happy with my Nokia. I paid about 70,00 won used last year. |

I just bought a brand new KTF all English phone with camera and all the gadgets for 300 000 won. Great little bargain. |
