And Saturday registered the biggest snowstorm of the past decade in Tokyo.
All 5 cm. of it stopped people from going to the stores :-)
DoCoMo (and the others) are improving its distribution channels: The local
AMPM convini (ala 7-11) stocks the 503i from Friday, at the typical 29.800
price.
I wonder if for DoCoMo and J-Phone the contract conditions are different at
stores that carry the lower handset price. The BICcamera salesman was
telling me that while at his store one can cancel the contract anytime (ie.
in two months) other stores penalized those who canceled or changed to a
different handset within a few (10) months. Any info on this?

My 01/17 take on the 503i:
>Opinionated rankings
>
>SCREEN Quality:
>1 NEC/SONY
>2 PANASONIC
>3 FUJITSU
>
>JAVA Speed:
>1 SONY
>2 NEC/FUJITSU
>3 PANASONIC
Panasonic must be working on improving its Java performance for the new
(foldable type) P503is
