South Korea gets first dibs on RAZR 2

While most of us have to wait until next month (or later for CDMA-dependent folks) to get our hands on Motorola's shiny new RAZR 2 (otherwise known as the other big phone coming out this summer), those in South Korea can now lay claim to a few early bragging rights, as Moto's decided to give them first dibs on it. According to Motorola Korea, the somewhat unusual move is being done "in recognition of tech-savvy and fashion-aware Korean consumers." The perks end there, however, as they'll still have to cough up a hefty 580,000 Korean won (or $630) to call the phone their own, although that price is before the usual discounts and subsidies.

Are we going to get wall to wall coverage of the pandemonium and madness that breaks out in Kora for this $600 phone?
