Hi,

You wondered if there was a cultural reason why Koreans would want a phone with a stylus.
Well one reason might be their alphabet.

It’s a lot easier to write with a pen, than with the round-about way it can be done with a qwerty-keyboard.

The same would be true for quite a few other Asian languages. –

Go Jaymar!
