Been delayed again. If you're really keen then get someone in HK to buy you an unlocked one, go through the asinine KCC certification process then you can use it here on KT or SK.

I saw a poster of the new iphone at the show store in Migeum Station last night. Don't know if you can get it now or if it will be out soon. Think they are talking about 700-800k for the phone, ouch. Similar to the heptic phone. To rich for my blood as I would never use all the functions that it has to offer. simple question, can I make a call and text. Done sold that phone is good enough for me.

I can get the number for the store if you would like to call them.

Cheers

Don't think it's going to happen.

So, SK are lovin' the Android platform but restricts development to Samsung and LG; how very progressive of them.

Would love to see an HTC Hero phone in Korea.

Google OS is open source. That's why they want it. No doubt they will butcher it anyway. The don't want to share $ with Apple, which is fair enough.

That's only for SKT. KT has announced plans to launch the iPhone in Korea. That article was so obviously written by SK sympathizers. SK got snubbed by Apple because Apple didn't want to bend over for SK which caused some "loss of face". SK is doing its best to smear the iPhone since they're probably not going to get it.

And yes the Bold has been in Korea for a while now.

The bold has just come out with a newer model. I would like to have one. But don't have much use for all of its functions and can't justify paying the price. Yet I can't help wanting it.
