Are you suggesting that Asian people misuse English?

How dare you?

Look at all the English.

Lesson:
Do not buy a Samsung phone in Korea if your first language is English.

I have a Samsung phone with an English menu, and it's fine. No goofy expressions, no difficulties. In fact, Samsung is probably the best Korean company as far as making their products and websites available to English speakers. Want Samsung's website in English? visit www.samsung.com.

Duh.

The English on all the phones I've used over here - Samsung, LG and Motorola - has been perfectly fine.

I was playing with a Nokia once and switched it to Arabic. Took me about a week to figure out how to switch it back. The English menu of my Samsung Anycall is fine but the software they have for photos/ringtones/themes etc. is Korean only.

What's your point? It's still Korean only if you live in Korea. You can choose an English speaking country site but when you try to join, you have to enter your carrier, model, and phone number. In case you didn't hear me the first two times I said it, it's Korean only. Oh, and by the way, it's Korean only.
