happy new year first, the carriers, Vodafone.jp now provides very cheap packet pack I think au/KDDI, Vodafone PDC, and DoCoMo FOMA (for those in Tokyo and want to try UMTS) are good options. V601SH has the best features that I want, but I don't like the design. http://www.vodafone.jp/japanese/products/kisyu/v601sh/ A5403CA comes with a 2M camera, but a mini-SD (I prefer standard SD). http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/kinobetsu/seihin/a5403ca/ A5503SA is a great phone with FM, very stylish, but the camera is poor. http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/kinobetsu/seihin/a5503sa/ if you could wait for FOMA 900i, I think SH900i is the best one. http://900i.nttdocomo.co.jp/ there are lots of sites list prices but this is the most popular one http://www.kakaku.com/sku/pricemenu/keitai.htm __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
