Cell phone that runs Skype that I can use in S. Korea?

[joecarter30]

Hi everybody,
Just wondering if you know of any phones that would allow me to run Skype from them while living in S. Korea. I know the N73 may be capable of this, but I'm not sure 1) if that's not carrier-specific feature or 2) if that handset will even work in S. Korea.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks
JC

N73 will only run skype if you're on the 3-UK network. Try a Windows Mobile phone, I think they can run Skype. As far as I know though, the only GSM network S Korea have is 3G 2100mhz band (same as European 3G) so you will have to use a 3G phone (like HTC Breeze / Orange SPV C700)
