Korea to get 6.9mm Samsung X820 as SPH-V9900

The "world's thinnest" phone, Samsung's SGH-X820, is a little piece of Korea that much of the world can get its hands on -- but not to worry, folks, they're gonna do a little something special just for their home crowd, too. Re-released in Korea as the SPH-V9900, the handset looks to sport a veritable cornucopia of button icons not found on its international sibling, but more importantly (depending on who you ask, anyway) the V9900 will be offered in a wider variety of colors. So if owning a powder blue phone that virtually disappears when you hold it sideways is your calling in life, it's time to pack your bags folks; your device is only half a world away.

y'know, every time i see more of these "korea-only" phones, i cringe because they look like "teh hotness" y'all seem to be talking about so much, but look at it this way:
the korean krzr has one cdma band and 1x rtt.
the us krzr has two cdma bands and ev-do r.0.
who wins now?

well.... but the krzr in korea is not considered a high tech "cool" phone.

THE PHONE IS AWSOME. I USE IT IN USA. NO ONE HAS A PHONE THAT CAN COMPARE TO IT.
