(keitai-l) Re: predictive text input

I just bought a SH505i from DoCoMo shop in Ikebukero this afternoon.
I tried lots of other stores but all sold out over the weekend and this
morning.
It was the full DoCoMo list price of 30,000+ yen due to keeping my existing
number.

With regards to features and usability, the UI, camera, and screen are all
very nice (compared to my old N503is).

There is a small issue with looking names up in the address book.
I can not seem to get it to look up names via English alphabet so far...
only via chronological order entered into phone or Japanese yomikata.
Apart from this one issue (which is probably user error), I like it a lot
from the 505's I have seen.

My 0.02c.

I used the SH505i a bit this weekend at the store, and it seems pretty
nice.  I like the menus the best out of all of the current 505i phones,
and camera usability (not quality; didn't have a chance to test that out,
of course) seems nicer than the other two.

However, *what* is the deal with the discrepancy in pricing for these
phones in different areas of Japan?  My friend in Beppu switched
from AU to a SH505i and paid 19,000 yen.  The same phone
up here in Fukushima costs between 26,000 and 29,000 yen.

My friend said maybe phones are cheaper in Kyushu because
everyone is poor. :)
