Supercool Phone

Filed as: Teaching in Korea // Responses: 10

This is a student in Simon’s Extra classes. He’s in this class for no good reason. The class is full of students with very weak English while he got a 90% on his English exam. He’s bored as hell in class and so he fiddles around with his supercool phone, and I don’t blame him. In fact, I encourage him to do so when he’s done the classwork. I made a video of his phone because it’s got something I’ve never seen before in Canadian phones. Here’s the deal: take an antenna (a short and small one that comes with the phone) and stick it in the side of the phone. Wait for a minute or so while the phone’s application kicks in, and – voila – you’ve got yourself free to air Korean Television. Sure, it’s not useful to us because we don’t watch Korean TV, but, maaaaan that’s still pretty cool.

Wow it's free to use the service? You don't have to pay for a data fee or anything? On my Samsung phone (Samsung Eternity) with AT&T they have a live tv service where you can see lots of networks from Nickeloden to Comedy Central and their own movie network but you have to pay a fee every month. It's not bad if you use it a lot like I do but that's neat that the one he has is free. I'd be paranoid about losing the antenna though lol.

Wow I'm quite surprised they don't have you pay for the streaming with the data or something like that. The picture quality doesn't seem like it's high def like on my phone (it's like watching a mini hd tv) but it doesn't look bad for free. I'm sure his parents are happy about that too lol.

Newer phones have better resolution. This video is almost a couple of years old now :D

Not bad though for then and for free. :-p

So I discovered your YT channel about two weeks ago while searching for SHINee things. I must say that I'm highly enjoying all of your videos and thoughts about Korea and your adventures there. I subscribed, of course. You two are among my favorite youtubers now.
