And lower battery life, and bigger screen (why, you can see the telephone
number just fine on a 10x2 alphanumeric display), bigger buttons, bigger
size in general (why, I thought they stopped selling big phones a few
years back, is the trend returning now)?

That has to be a lie, or else you don't use docomo phones. You cannot
customize the melody that you download from i-mode or from a ringtone
machine. You can keep it, sometimes you can send it to another phone with
IR, but you sure as hell cant customize it, not in any recent models.
You can't even send iappli through IR on P503 or D503, that makes the
actual port quite useless doesn't it...

Mind pasting some links with relevant information?
