I am trying to make a decision about getting a new phone, as the old one is crapping out on me, and I was just looking at the different prices out there.

I know the Iphone 4 on KT is from 70-80,000 won per month or so with the plan and phone included.

If you guys are using a different smart phone, could you please post how much you are paying per month for the plan, how much the phone costs and the carrier?

Thanks in advance!

Looking specifically at droid devices btw!

I have an HTC Desire.

I pay about 70,000W a month total.

55,000W for the data plan and about 15,000W for the phone/taxes.

I believe the HTC Desire is now free with a 2 year contract so maybe only 60,000W a month.

That can wholly depend on your retailer.

Some will give you a free phone IF their profit margin is good enough AND they need the customer.

ok 60.000 a month.. that's just the basic rate thought right?
you still have to pay for phone calls, extra text messages etc right?

55'000 a month, price of phone included, unlimited data, iPhone 3GS. The 3s are actually priced reasonably now, and from what I hear, more reliable than the 4s.
