Together, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone and BlackBerry Internet Service offer a complete solution for a customer’s on-the-go communication needs.

The BlackBerry Bold smartphone also delivers excellent voice quality and includes many premium phone features as well as a built-in organizer (with calendar, address book, task list and memo pad applications) that can easily import contacts from popular desktop organizer applications.

Customers can subscribe to BlackBerry Internet Service for a monthly charge of KRW24,000*, which includes 30MB of data. Read More →
