Make that 2 phones (from Sanyo?).
There are now 2 Global Passport phones being put out
by KDDI. (cdmaOne/AU)
The C412SA and the C111SA.
And the C412SA can do 16 voice chakumelo : )
This new phone can calculate the tip to leave your waiter
when you leave Japan (according to the ad). And all sorts
of other goodies (according to the ad).
I could have used that in high school before I knew how much
sales tax was. : (
Note that some features are limited to inside Japan like
EZweb, C mail, KARAOKE, and Packet One.
(for the obvious reasons).
