(keitai-l) Re: Nokia NM502i

For a time, DoCoMo was limiting I-Mode upgrades (from non I-Mode phones to
I-Mode phones) to ease the impact of massive numbers of users on their
network. The restriction has now been lifted. I wonder if that's what you
experienced...

I still think it's best to get a cellphone directly from the stores associated
with the carrier as you'll get better warranty/service and can keep your phone
number when you upgrade -- not an option at all cellphone shops.
