Also, it came with a cd with software for putting stuff on the sd micro card, but no mac support or mac files. something to think about... if anyone know a way around this please let me know yes, this phone does have T9 english for text input, switching from enlgish to japanese in a mail is somewhat difficult though.

AC, what do you pay for a 200MB limit in Canada? Dylan, the problem in japan is that since everyone uses imode mail you have to pay to download all the mail people send you. Also phones these days are so friggin' fast that it could make you bankrupt in just a few days. Jonas, yes there’s a camera on the inside as well for videoconferencing and taking photos.

I've given up on any kind of mobile internet or additional services.. even given up on email since (apart from the almost extinct i-mode here) we can't get proper push email to our phones - we have to manually go check it! So now I've reverted to just basic talk & text (SMS).. How does 25 yen for a 160 character test message sound? Because that's the average price here.. Picture mail? Whoa... file for bankruptcy! Reminds me of the introductory ADSL plans we have. Sounds cheap to those who don't know much about computer stuff, but they give you a silly little 300 megabyte limit, then charge you excess data usage. So what seems like a sweet ~2000 yen a month deal actually ends up costing you 10,000 yen plus. I much prefer to pay a little more and not have to worry about excess charges.. Give me download-hodai any day!! Data charges like this are the reason i-mode has failed here in Australia.

At DOUBLE the price!
