Hi,
> I am under the impression that the NM502i remains the _only_
> bilingual i-mode phone.
According to a recent catalog from NTT DoCoMo, the follwing i-mode
compatible handsets are bilingual and an English operation manual
is available: P209i, N209i, D209i, F209i and NM502i.
For more info on these and other available i-mode handsets including
specs and pictures please look here:

I heard that some handset makers 'claim' that there model is
bilingual but it turns out that only the first level of the
built-in menu and only some pages of the manual are bilingual
and then the rest is Japanese only (happened to me once with
a cdmaOne phone).
So the best thing might be to test the phone before you buy
it or to ask somebody who already bought the model you want
to have.
I have a Sony SO502i and it's not bilingual.
Cheers,
Andrea
