Ramsey: That answer is not as simple as it sounds. Verizon operates at 800MHz the koreans operate at 1800MHz, different from even Sprint. It is not a nominal task to develop handsets in one frequency range and then just translate them over to another. Even though most manufacturers are making dual band phones only now (phones that operate in both 800 and 1900) that does not mean that all manufacturers are. The other thing is that you have to read the part where the manufacturers are complaining about approval. That is really and truly the case. I experienced delays of up to 6 months in approval for phones going through the system. This delay is not because of the FCC, they are relatively fast, it is because the phone needs to go through interoperability testing(CDG teating) from each of the infrastructure manufacturers and each has a long backlog right now.
