I bought a Nokia E51 for cheap in Bangkok. Based on a couple of other threads, I get the impression that it's possible to buy a SIM card from an outfit like KT to enable service here via 3G Am I mistaken?

yeah I read that.. you've got to go to a special office from one of the carriers, not just a regular one on the street.. where they are is a mystery to me, though

Okay...I think Korea uses the 2100 band on its 3G network which my Nokia supports. And I found more info about SIM cards and KT office locations here: http://expatblog.kt.com/
