iPhone finally coming to Korea via KTF?

It seems Apple has finally found a way to sell its phone to the ever-demanding Korean mobile users through KTF. The carrier’s CFO, Kim Yeon-hak, confirmed the deal without disclosing the exact release date.

Apple is still quiet about the whole thing, but it’s fair to guess they’ll go all official with it within weeks or so.

For the record, KTF is not the biggest mobile operator in the country (SK Telecom is), and this deal could certainly help them drive more subscribers to the network.

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.

    This phone certainly would help drive subscribers to KTF, that is, of course, if it weren’t 4 or 5 years behind all the phones in Korea.
