Simple one. . .I would think
Ok, a co-worker is going to s.korea for about four weeks in a few months..she uses a v551 which is quadGSM....I know that all of korea is 3g (according to gsmworld.com) but would a 2.5g device still be able to work on a 3g network, or would it strictly have to be HSPDA or UMTS? Thanks in advance
...
i believe UMPTS only works in like 6 different areas in the states, i don't believe this is currently a service that is internationally based (i could be completely wrong, the training program here isn't that informative, especially concerning international services), but i'm pretty sure you can use any quad-band phone within that area.

To my knowledge, Korea does not have GSM there at all, nor does it have UMTS/WCDMA, only CDMA and its derivatives, like CDMA2000 (3g CDMA). UMTS/WCDMA, as far as I know, has coverage in 6 US cities on 1900 mhz, Japan on 2100 mhz, and possibly parts of Europe. I don't think anybody has yet set up HSDPA upgrades on UMTS.
If anybody has more up-to-date info, please share it, my info is a little old. 🙂
