LG-SH150A

My co-teacher picked this phone out for me during my last job in Korea and I used to pay her monthly for the phone bill. When I returned to Korea I discovered that to reactivate the phone with SK in my name, as a foreigner, requires a hefty deposit so I opted for another company and another phone. That leaves me with this cell that, if doesn't interest any of you readers, may interest someone's Korean friend. Worth a try.

Maybe it's not even worth a penny to a Korean now but when this model came out in early 2008 it was well reviewed and cost around 450K. The main selling point for this model at the time was its display - an AMOLED - a special, high-end LED display which wasn't an important feature for me but may be for someone who likes to watch TV on their cell, or store high-res. photos, etc. It's also easier on power consumption apparently and has all the standard features plus probably more than the average cell. See a couple reviews below.

I only paid about 50K when I bought it new in May, 2008. I'll let it go for the best offer, but again I don't know what it's worth, if anything, since I've heard that some service companies actually give free phones as an incentive to sign to or switch service providers. Let me know and I'll ship anywhere in Korea for free. Still have the box and all the accessories. I'll throw in the charger free of charge as well.
