Even if they were running a GSM network, your BB would need to be unlocked and have a KT SIM card in order to work on their network.

Thanks Pierre - I think they are using the same network as Nextel since they are offering "push to talk" technology there. But for the life of me, I cannot find out more about their network ( I can't read korean!). I already have an unlocked 8700c from cingular (have to travel to europe a bit) and its worked well, however I'm very confused when it comes to Korea. I'm currently nearing the expiration of my contract with Cingular, so was thinking of entering into a plan witih Verizon to get the 8703e, with the hopes that it works in Korea since they seem to use CDMA more than GSM. Actually, I wasn't aware that Korea used GSM at all.
