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.
