KTF, the second largest South Korean carrier will soon release the iPhone 3G. This fact was revealed by Kim Yeon-hak, KT Group’s CFO. He admitted that the famous handset is heading for Korea via KTF but he didn’t mention any release date.

The price remains a mystery as well but it’s expected to be close to the one charged in the US,  $200 or $300 with contract, depending on the device’s memory (16 or 32 GB).

We remind you some of the phone’s features:  quad band UMTS/HSDPA and GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, three-inch diagonal multi-touch display, 2 megapixels camera, audio player and others.

KTF could lose its unique iPhone seller status as SK Telecom, the country’s largest carrier is negotiating with Apple a possible deal for the iPhone.

KTF is South Korea’s second largest carrier and the company has just announced its intention to launch a mobile service relying on WiBro, the localized and improved version of WiMax.

The carrier will launch the new service in November 2009 and we found out that it’ll allow the users to make cheaper voice calls. WiBro is only used for broadband connections on laptops for now, but it’ll move on to the mobile segment starting this Fall.

This move will surely stir up the competition between local South Koraen carriers KTF, LG Telecom and SK Telecom.
