Throughout much of the world, 3G is a welcome change from the surly slow-speed bonds of older wireless techs, but in South Korea, there’s still a huge contingent of subscribers stubbornly hanging onto their 2G service for a simple reason: upgrading requires a number change.

The trendy slider will be available shortly in three shades — white, black, and champagne gold — and feature Bluetooth, FM radio, and an emergency siren in case someone tries to enjoy your Waffle a little too much rather than getting his or her own.
