It looks like it could put satellites into orbit but I don't think want to carry around anything that big and heavy.

My next phone will spit poisonous Amazonian frog venom into the eyes of any unauthorized user.

I like this one but I wish I could see it from a few more angles:

I have a 50,000W Itaewon special. While it's no sexy phone, it's never failed me.
Even lost it on a bus one day and I rang it only to have a passenger give it to the bus driver who dropped it off at the apt building on his return route!!!
If it had been a "sexy" phone, I'm not sure I'd have seen it back. Very Happy

I don't understand how people can lose their phones. Umbrellas yes, phones no.

Exactly why I text.

Cheaper by far, and some of the girls I've met don't have great English. They can read and write it though.

Undeep side-slash pockets on a jacket while sitting in a bus. Slides right out, and with the noise of those grinding bus gears and ajossi talk radio blaring, you don't hear it drop Confused

Looks almost like the LG SD350 I just bought. The model came out in August. Top of the line. Over 3 million pixel camera, 2-hour video, MP3 player included.

You couldn't have the same because your girlfriend wouldn't have forgotten to mention the price: 726,000 won.

Unless she's a generous gift giver.

This one seems to be the 'hanphone' of choice.

Samsung SCH-V500...a snip at 700,000...that's at online price.

this thread is a reminder that north america is SO far behind in cellphones.
I bought a LG phone back in september and it just came out here in the states. I am positive I saw plenty of Koreans with my model when I was there, probably as long ago as 2002.

Philippines is embarrassingly behind, as well.

They all use those crap Nokias, like:


And I remember being in Cebu trying to reach people. You couldn't call someone's cellphone from a payphone.
You had to use a cellphone or go to a telecom company and use their satellite payphones. Confused

She's probably going to show me the receipt later, when she needs to guilt me into doing her a favor.
