Mathieu,
1. No you are not dreaming, yes you can do that.
2. Illegal? no not that I know of, you are buying the phones -
like you buy shoes in the shoe shop - they are also yours 100%.
when you buy a DoCoMo/AU etc phone in the shop, you
buy the phone. Its yours.
If you buy a DoCoMo 3G phone, you'll need to give the
SIM card back when you cancel. Actually, you can cancel
without the phone, all you need is the SIM card to cancel,
that you must bring back to the shop.
3. However, once the phone is disconnected, all network
services are dead. No imode, no email, etc. A lot of
the content, e.g. iappli are digital rights managed
and you can't get them in or out of the phone.
Cable and memory card only work for phone book content,
photos etc. not for digital rights controlled content.
