Nothing Korean, mind you. Those outrageously expensive, useless donkey turds should all be rounded up and burnt in the town square.

I've had my current phone (Sony) for 12 years. The antenna finally broke off yesterday. That phone cost $70, or thereabouts. That's about all I'm expecting to part with.

I bought a 2.4ghz North American Uniden cordless with converter in Yongsan several months ago for 75,000w. Works like a charm.

Well, I shopped around Yongsan and finally decided on a GE cordless which set me back 58 clams. After buying the thing I thought I might get online and see what the real, actual cost of such a machine should be. I immediately found three stores Stateside, asking no more than $25 for said phone.

Yongsan can lick me, and it can lick me hard.

p.s. I had already asked around at Yongsan about the same phone and had been given various prices ranging from W68,000 to W80,000! You might be thinking "Well, smartass, why didn't you just order it from the States." Because it costs me, the consumer, at least $30 to ship a teeny tiny item like that. Korea exists in a vacuum, a vacuum of scum and villainy.

I picked up a 5.8 ghz phone in the USA before coming back this summer. It cost me $25. As far as I know, that level of transmission frequency isn't even allowed in Korea. They can suck eggs for all I care. I'm not paying 100,000 won for some Ahn piece of Korean phone trash that is such old 900mhz technology they don't even sell it in the USA anymore.

By the way, stay away from 2.4ghz phones if you have wifi. The frequencies conflict, and you'll lose internet when you use your phone.

2.4ghz phones were selling for as low as $10 at Wal-Mart in the USA. I had half a mind to load my entire bag up with 'em an sell them off at triple the cost here.

By the way, GE is one of the best brands for sound quality and build strength.
