Drilling down deeper, I find that this phone is the same as one DoCoMo
Announced in June, and which goes on sale online next week at over 7 man.
Wow.

Furthermore, there seems to be some screwiness about the flat-rate packet
Pricing for just this one model. Am I right in reading that the flat rate
Packet is going to cost over 9000 yen, and that you must use Softbank's
Proxy server to access the net (I guess so they can block you from using
VOIP clients like SKYPE)?

The only thing I want that the 702NK ain't got is full VGA-quality video,
and in that category I think N93 tops anything available nn the Japanese
market.
