GSM versions of AnyBand phones as advertised in the MV/officially: (If the 1st page, all are F330 except Bora's)
BoA's:
F330 (Released in Europe October, slated December for Asia)
[~US$370]Tablo's:
U700 (Released in most of the world earlier this year)
[~US$460]Junsu's:
i450 (Released in Europe October, slated Q1 2008 for Asia)
[~US$510]Bora's: Not out yet?/idk. But closest would be the P940.
I don't think Bora's phone has a GSM version out yet, but if you're looking for something similar, with the rotating flip screen, then I guess it would be the P940, released end 2006. But I think it's an older version of Bora's phone, maybe the GSM version of the one Hyori advertised in one of the earlier Anycall commercials? Probably but not too sure though. Pictures, the last one's the Korean version:
For people in Asia, the F330 will be released sometime in December yay! Christmas present! But only in ice-white for now
It's practically exactly the same as the Korean version. Based on its release in Europe, the price was 260Euros (
~US$370), but I think it will be a couple of tens of dollars cheaper in Asia. I'm not too sure which other countries exactly, but I know for sure Singapore, so maybe around the region like Malaysia, Philippines etc? Sadly, I doubt they'd release the red and green versions despite it being released around the Christmas season
I really want the red one! Pictures of the back and side since fronts have been posted:
The GSM version of Junsu's phone is most likely the i450. Just that in the commercial, Junsu's was wine red, this one's white. It's been released in Europe, and is slated for release in Q1 2008 for Asia. Retails for 360Euros (~
US$510) and has a popup-able speaker at the top. I'm not too sure if it really is the same, but other than the color, the face looks the same so it's highly likely? I've heard some Koreans calling it the "White Xiah Phone" so I guess it is? Pictures, the 2nd and 3rd on the first row, and the bottom-most ones are the Korean version:
Tablo's GSM version is the U700, practically exactly the same as the Korean version, it's out in most parts of the world I think (: Retails for around
US$460. Pictures:
The original W300/W340/W350/W360 Korean models won't work in anywhere else but Korea, only the GSM ones will work for people not living in Korea. Sadly, most Korean models don't get GSM releases, and even if they do, there will be tweaks and the models won't be 100% the same. Which is quite sad cos I really love Korean and Japanese phone models, they have advanced technology (7/8/10 MP camera phones!), just that they can't be used anywhere else outside their countries

the UFO i think can be found too, but only silver too, i think...
ahhhjinjjah~hoping for a release of GSM for the red anyband phone (: ( BoA's or Junsu's)
and anyway, anyone knows how i can get a phone with Language settings for Korean, cause it bothers me very much all my previous handphones can't type in hangul...even my current Samsung one ...
With regards to typing in Hangul, I doubt any Samsung or LG phones sold in Singapore, despite them being Korean brands, would enable Hangul typing as the market the phones are targeted at is international and not Korean. Unless you get a phone from Korea that can somehow be configured to work with Singapore's networks, it's rather impossible to get a Hangul enabled phone that works here. Which is quite sad, cos I was facing the same hopes for Japanese typing a few years ago ^^
v--edit: Yup from the pic on page 1, all are F330 except Bora's. These are the ones "officially" advertise, ie in Korea the F330/W360's known as the 'BoA Phone', the U700/W300's the 'Tablo Phone' and the i450/W340's dubbed the 'Xiah Phone' (:
no signs of the release date yet =(
we only buy the phones cos they look cool
