Korean phones ONLY work in Korea with the exception of some phones working in America with Verizon's network. It still has limited features though.

Singapore is GSM and not CDMA, so no.. like the above poster said, korean phones work ONLY in korea.

try finding a korean phone already in singapore.. if no luck, then no you can't.

I have been wanting to know too, but from what i know,
they cannot be used in singapore. im from singapore too and there's one time someone i know blew up her new phone from Korea while charging it in S'pore. it's because the electrical voltage in sg is higher compared to korea's.

however there are some korean phones selling in singapore (very rare) but im not sure where,
but they must be pretty expensive. :/
like you, i'm also tempted to buy korean phones - they have so many functions!

i asked this question before...and sadly...
it is not possible.
cause korean phones don't have a sim card slot : D
well, the ones you would want to get most probably won't.
and they function on wcdma, whereas SG loves gsm. i don't know why they stopped using cdma here.
unless you get them in places like...china maybe? then yeah. its possible.
but the phones in china is not cheap...so...

i shall love nokia more. or you can try getting 3G vodafones. its workable here x)

CDMA is the system korea use, they dont have to put sim card or anything. but GSM we'll have to have a sim card i think. :\
