As previously said with the iPhone 3G example, the Korean mobile phone market is getting more open for foreign brands.
Indeed SK Telecom which has recently released the Touch Dual of Taiwanese HTC, plans to offer its customers two Nokia handsets and a Blackberry by RIM. SK Telecom is also said to be close to Sony Ericsson.
However the local technical standards (WIPI) still make uncertain the release of a large range of foreign handsets in the country.
J’en parlais dans un article precedent avec l’exemple de l’iPhone 3G, le marche coreen du mobile s’ouvre aux marques etrangeres.
En effet SK Telecom qui a recemment commence la distribution du Touch Dual du Taiwanais HTC, prevoit de proposer prochainement a ses clients deux appareils Nokia et un Blackberry de RIM. SK Telecom serait aussi en discussion avec Sony Ericsson.
Cependant, les specificites techniques coreennes (WIPI) laissent planer l’incertitude sur une distribution plus large de mobiles de fabrication etrangere dans le pays.
