SK Telecom brings Crackberry into South Korea

SK Telecom has just opened its doors to selling RIM’s BlackBerry. This is a rather aggressive move for the Canadian company to push their products in Asia - risky too. South Korea is home to LG and Samsung, that also manufacture mobile handsets, but not necessarily BlackBerry enabled devices:

BlackBerry FaceBook App issues?
