Before we get too crazy with these waiting room threads, here's a thread for all the Asian countries.
I'm waiting here in China, but going to travel to Korea, Taiwan, or Hong Kong for my purchase.

Very nice! Still looking for something in the area up here.
High chance Korea will the get key1 eventually. But I am going to order mine in the states and get it shipped. Since Korean released blackberry will have the camera shutter sound on.
Interesting. I didn't know they mandated that. How do they oversee it if you buy it unlocked and there is no Korean specific version?
Any phones sold in Korea, are required to have the camera shutter sound on and cant be turned off when using the default camera app. But from what I know there are third party apps you can use to get around that.
And from what I know Priv that was sold here in Korea had both English and Korean alphabet on the keyboard. Also something to think about.
Hrm, something I never thought about. Perhaps you can help me ship from the US. Where are you in Korea?
You do know there are three different versions of the KEYone with different frequency bands, two for North America and one for Europe and Asia? I doubt the EMEA version you would want will be for sale in the US.
1) Network (NA GSM)
LTE Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/19/20/28/29/30
*TD-LTE Band 38/39/40/41
2) Network (NA CDMA)
LTE Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/13/20/25/26/28/29/30*
TD-LTE Band 41*
CDMA BC 0/1/10
3) Network (EMEA)
LTE Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/13/17/20/28*
TD-LTE Band 38,40
Attachment 419488
To me, it looks like Asia Pacific uses the same bands as the NA GSM version. I don't think it'll be a problem
I've used Verizon Priv, Blackberry Unlocked Priv, Passport SE, Us unlocked S7 Edge, US Iphone 6, 6s ,7 on the carrier i am using in Korea. I think I'll be okay. SKT supports both GSM and CDMA networks and their major LTE bands are 5 and 7 i think.
Seoul, I use a freight forwarding company in the state side. Its not cheap but its worth it.
PM sent!
Hey mate, waiting for it as well. In Shanghai with China Unicom operator. I buy my blackberries from an import guy that bring them straight from HK. FYI
Pre-ordered@UK. Waiting in TWN. Any early possible than M/Apr.?! :crying:
Yes, it does look like it should be OK.
Not gonna preorder it here in the Philippines. Will wait for a few months for all the reviews to come in. Also, I still have to save up for it. Lol.

Did Korea have Priv sold as unlocked or do you have to buy it from carriers like SKT? I really want the Korean version since I am Bilingual.
The phone was sold through SKT. When I checked few weeks ago, it was still up for sale. And I believe it has both Korean and English on the phone itself.
Was the PM for me? Cause I don't think I got any haha
Yeah. I PMed you. Just curious as to how much shipping is and if we could share shipping costs once it's released. I take weekend Seoul trips for baseball from time to time.
Anyone from Singapore?

Waiting in TWN +1.
I don't think Taiwan market will ever introduce the KEYone...But Hong Kong will. I will probably get mine from the HKIA, just like how I got the Priv...
Count me in here in UB. Going to order it from shop blackberry once it is available.
What's HKIA?
