Does anyone know if the iPhone will be available in English? I assume Ian can answer that…

I tried to get the Sony Xperia X1 because I like the full keyboard, but Sony Korea, Sony US, or the vendor wanted to help me. I thought about trying to flash it and load Google Android (Linux) but I think that’s a post for another forum.

Oscar, I don’t think you can use your iPhone from the states here. One of my friends had one and they wouldn’t do, but that was before the release of the Korean iPhone.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi, Paul,

I checked the problem.

KT spokesman said, foreigners should buy the iPhone at offline store, not online.

Thanks.

Foreigners can not get the Iphone. KT has said the Iphone is only available witha 2 year contract, and foreigners are not eligible for a 2 year contract. Even foreigners on an F Visa can not get an Iphone. Steve Jobs coudln’t get an Iphone in Korea.
