LG Introduces Next Style Icon

korea = cdma is no longer true. both sk telecom and lg telecom, the two largest carriers in korea, now operate hsdpa as well as ev-do networks. so it is difficult to say which LG means by "3G"

check out the 9 pic in this series:

It could be a R-UIM Card that are useed over-seas for CDMA Phones

thats what i thought

ok so i feel really dumb, but could someone please explain to me what a R-UIM card is? 🤭

A R-UIM is basically the CDMA equivalent of a GSM SIM.

Obviously, R-UIM makes programming unnecessary. R-UIM also behaves like a regular SIM card when popped into an (unlocked) GSM phone, making roaming relatively easy. It's also possible to transparantly roam on both GSM and CDMA network with a multimode device, AKA a CDMA phone with GSM capability.

Basically, R-UIM strip GSM of it's greatest advantage over CDMA. I heard R-UIM are to be available somewhere in the future... unsure about the timeframe.

Or it could be a memory card slot! 😲

No, definitely not a memory card slot... besides, I believe it has a memory card slot on the side...
