*impressed whistle* Niiice! Makes my own phone look like something from the stone age. ^^ How much could I expect to pay for a phone like that, if I may ask?

We paid 9000yen to upgrade to this one after using a different one for a while. (2 years maybe... I forget)

For just the phone, if you don`t have any service, it`s like 29800yen. If you are newly signing up, they`ll give it to you for free or close.

None of the above. The popular brands here are Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Sharp, Fujitsu, and NEC. Sony Ericsson is trying to squeeze in, but they can`t seem to make a phone that really appeals to the Japanese market. Just like Vodaphone seriously screwed up when they tried to force their way in - they offer phones that would be liked by a European audience, but are totally rejected in Japan.

too much , that a girl fell into the train track ( i think last month) because she was walking beyond the yellow line already and she was using here phone while walking and it was rush hour and I think she was pushed/bump by another commuter.. good thing she did not die cause the driver noticed her and another station staff was there to the rescue..
