Yes, I have something nice to say about FOMA:
you can get the handsets almost for free now!
We bought a FOMA-P2002 for one of our employees
a few days ago. Battery life is a bit short, but otherwise
no problem. However, comparing the FOMA-P2002 with the
N504iS, the N504iS is a lot better, but also costs a lot
more!
