We are pretty much only able to get Korean brands here because the Chaebol corporations have a monopoly on things and the government imposes huge tarrifs to keep out foreign products. I have an LG phone that does the job but it's getting a bit old now.

I was reading an article the other day saying that Samsung has a new phone coming out. It will be released in the US market for about 200 dollars. The same phone will cost 700 dollars here. Talk about screwing your own! It seems Samsung is now the largest provider in the US from what I was reading.

I know I'm going off topic but the US government really should look into the trade balance between the US and Korea. Korean's export their stuff with little restriction and yet the same is far from true when it comes to imports. Not a fair balance of trade at all. Cars, electronics...all sorts of things. The good thing is that Korean consumers still pay far more than the US consumers even though incomes are lower here.

Sorry, little off topic rant over.
