only the bold is sold here and you can only get it if you have a corporate email account. I doubt any phone company would put you on their networks.

I got the answer from Call Center of SK Telecom like this:
Quote:
Blackberry Bold series are able to register with SKtelecom but, it has to be opened in Korea.
It means if you brought Blackberry Bold from overseas, you are unable to subscribe with SKtelecom and need to purchase Blackberry Bold series in Korea.

SK Telecomm recently (July 1, 2009) started BIS service for regular customers and apparently only the Bold can be used. But buying a Bold in Korea is like $700-800 CAD, compared to $500 CAD back here in Canada.
