I'm looking to buy a new Sky phone soon. Does anyone know if there are any good dealers in the Bay Area(San Francisco, San Jose area)?

If their aren't any, I'll probably go to a K-town dealer in OC when I go during the Summer. So far, I only know of Okcellular, do the people working their speak English? And are their any other stores?

hmmm...OK cellular is pretty good...
that's where i got my phone...and i'm not sure if they speak english :/
but i heard there's this other place called "hankook phone"or something...
website: www.hankookphone.com

and there's lots of korean phone choices(:

Yeah, that's the one I want =)
But I'm not sure if they speak English either, and does anyone know if they are reliable? Customer support-wise?
And do they sell their phones seperately?

Okay, I've asked like 50 questions, but here's a last one ^-^''
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy this phone without a plan?

I can't find any info on whether or not the sky phones are available in gsm technology. I was debating between a sky phone and the nokia n93. I mainly want the cool design hee hee hee. If there is any Sky phone in gsm technology, then I'll get that one for sure, but if not then the nokia n93 will have to do~~*

There are none. SKY is only made in Korea to be used only in Korea.

^dern. So I'm guessing the Samsung phones that haven't been released in the US are that way too? I really want a phone that's listed on that hangook.com site, but if it's not available in GSM... =/

Korean phones, namely ones from sk telecom, CAN be used here in the US, you just need to we with Verizon since they both use the CDMA network. However it is rather illegal because verizon only permits phones that are only branded verizon on the network. However there are korean cell phone dealers (OK Cellular, hankookphone) that can get around this. Still illegal though. but yeah if you have any gsm network, i dont think theres any way to get a korean phone, unless something came up that i never caught wind of recently

If you go for the Cyon phones, you can get the same thing made by LG. LG U400, LG KE970, etc., are some examples of the same models you see on the hangook Phone.com website.
For the samsung anycall phones...some same designs actually *have* been released w/gsm, and the ones *redone* in gsm are actually better than the original Korean version, but in general samsung seems to put more into their anycall ones yea? T.T Korean phones are so hot.
I hope that Pantech freakin' comes out with hot versions of their Sky phones in GSM soon! : D

Thank you yowzatheman, DKYang for the info and confirmations.
