I have some good news for you... or bad news.
I was going to Shibuya (last Tuesday) to get a water filter and a razor and
I got a flyer that said they are selling the P503i and I think the F503i too
for 1 Yen in a store there.
So if you go quickly to Shibuya and shop around a bit you should be able
to find that store. Just get all the chirashi (flyers) they give you in
front of the JR station.
I am still tempted to get one. (Even though it has the apl bug and is
quite
slow etc etc).
