The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships among the perceived satisfaction, the perceived the trust, the commitment, the key features for mobile phone, the brand image, the switching cost and the repurchasing intention. We also examine the differences between Korean and Indonesian markets concerning the relationships of these key successfactors. The structural model is tested with the data form each of the sub-samples (i, e, Korean and Indonesian users taken separately). Properties of the casual paths, including standardized path coefficients, the significance of difference, and variance explained for trust, satisfaction, commitment and repurchasing in the hypothesized model, are presented. This study indicated that hardware (sound quality, LCD display, design) user interface (GUI, Menu, Key pad) and extra functions (camera phone, wireless internet, MP3 player) are the three important factors effecting the trust and the satisfaction. The proposed model has been newly tested from the technological prospective in order to get the more practical result. Following the model test, we conduct a test of the differences in path coefficients between Korean and Indonesian users. MSEM show that, compared to Korean market, Indonesian had more emphasized on extra-function for the mobile phone as well as giving more influence to the satisfaction from the brand image. It means Korean market consider the extra-function as basic or no-premium points. And the satisfaction has been effected by switching-cost in Korea but the trust in Indonesia. Other interesting result from the structural weight invariance indicate that, compared to Korean market, the brand-image has effected the satisfaction in addition to placing more the trust on determining the commitment in Indonesia.
