I would guess at least six months for i-mode, less for non imode (3 mos.i
think). Thats when you no longer pay a penalty for cancelling the service
(as I learned last weekend when I lost my p501i phone- 5 months in) After
that point you can get a slightly older phone for free or near free (2000yen
+ the Keitai shop 3000 yen charge). I just picked up the D502i, total cost
7000 yen. You could get the p501i for 1yen +shop charge. But most people are
going for the 502i models or newer 209i.
