Apple Thoughts: iPhone Arrives in South Korea

"Apple's iPhone started shipping in Korea on Saturday. Some 60,000 people have ordered theirs in the last week. No one expects monster numbers for Apple from Korea, but every new market helps."

South Korea that is, I'm sure North Korea has had the 3GS iPhones for months. The delay in getting the iPhone into South Korea was due to government restrictions on location based services, something Apple had to obtain permission for in order to sell the iPhone. South Korea based Samsung and LG dominate the market there so it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out over the months ahead.
