Nokia is bringing its first 3G mobile device to South Korea and it’s the Nokia 6210s. Apparently, the Finnish giant thinks the timing is right to enter the Korean market, which is unsurprisingly dominated by the local players, Samsung and LG. As a result of the company’s decision, we may see a slew of Nokia devices hitting the country, though we’re only speculating at this stage.
KTF is the Finnish giant’s partner of choice, and they will sell the device for KRW 396,000, which is about $293.
As for the phone itself, the Nokia 6210s seems like the 6210 Navigator model without a built-in GPS receiver. So we’re talking about a Symbian S60-based smartphone with such features as 3.2 megapixel camera, media player, FM radio, and a microSD memory card slot. The device will have a “Made in Korea” stamp as it will be manufactured in Nokia’s Masan factory, opened in 1984, which has produced nearly 400 million devices so far.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
