Will a Korean bought 9900 or 9800 work in South Africa?

The more carrier-specific content I'm sure you mean is actually determined by the carrier's service books.
So if his carrier throws a ton of bloatware onto their BB's, he'll likely end up with it after first time he reboots on his home network with his carrier's SIM installed.
Good tip on all SKT devices coming unlocked though!622jw likes this.09-25-12 05:43 AMLike 1 - Just FYI, the "minimum bloatware" comment is misleading. All the OS's contain the same relative amount of so-called bloatware.

However, the default language is Korean so it may be difficult for non-Korean users to set the language. -> to deal with this type "djsdj" (minus the quotes) on the universal search so you can go straight to language options.Elite1 likes this.09-26-12 08:23 PMLike 1 - You're very welcome. These Forums are a terrific resource.
By the way, welcome to CrackBerry!
As soon as you have the chance, please update your profile to include your device, carrier, and location. This makes it easier for others to assist you.
Hope everything works out for you. Good luck!soo007 likes this.09-27-12 07:29 AMLike 1 - This posting is kind of like a go ahead and buy a BB from SKT if you have not yet done so.
BB's from SKT are bundled better than let say ATT or T-Mobile.
1) The packaging is superb in comparison to the abovementioned US carriers. You will double think before thinking about throwing that box away.
2) A second battery and standalone charger is also included. I think this is a Korean smartphone user thing since most smartphones users always carry a spare battery (for reasons that are too obvious).
3) a premium wired headset, as opposed to the $19.99 standard wired headset
4) better quality charger (the interchangeable plug version), as opposed to the cheaply-made US-plug-only version.
5) unbranded, no stupid carrier logo at the bottom of the phone.
6) since nobody in this country give a rat's ... you can easily pick up a whiteberry.Elite1 likes this.09-28-12 10:41 AMLike 1
