Research In Motion along with SK Telecom is now set to start selling the BlackBerry Bold in South Korea according to an article on yonhapnews.

The release of a localised version of the BlackBerry Bold in South Korea is made possible by the lifting of policies that banned foreign mobile handsets from being offered in South Korea by local carriers.

Having said that, the BlackBerry Bold still has a touch challenge ahead as it needs to break through the stranglehold of the likes of LG, Samsung and Pantec which local carriers favour.
