Rule change allows BlackBerry phones in South Korea

According to Beta News, BlackBerrys can now be sold on the South Korean market, following a slight modification in South Korean telecom rules.

"Up to now, Research in Motion has not been allowed to sell BlackBerry phones in South Korea because of laws that give a competitive edge to domestic companies, such as Samsung and LG Electronics. Those two companies have a combined 80% control of the South Korean market."
