DoCoMo offers a myriad of delicious cell phones. I have pictures of a few of them below... almost all of them have credit card, SMS, long and short email, and television capabilities, so there's no use in going into specifics... since they're all pretty sick when compared to my shitty Motorola Razor.
The other option would be SoftBank... which has equally crazy phones. The big difference is probably the price. And since my time in Japan is only 8 weeks long.. the prepaid phone appears to be a great option. NTT DoCoMo hasn't offered this service for about two years... but the only indication of this is on the Japanese page:
「ぷりコール」については、2005年3月31日をもちまして新規お申込み受付を終了させていただきました。
As of March 31st, 2005, we no longer accept applications for the "Pre-call" programs.
There is no indication of this on the English part of the site... even though more English speakers would use this service... but whatever.
Anyway, here are the two phones I could get:
This one here sports Voice Call, S! Mail, Long Mail, Long Email, Sky Mail, Email, Sky Melody, and Data Communication... I don't know what these are... but they sound happy and fun!
While this one has QVGA LCD, miniSD™ Memory Card, QR Code Reader, and IrDA/Simple Mode. I have no idea what these functions are either... but they sound technological and sexy.
So this begs the question: Fun or Sexy? Flip phone or no flip? Sky Melody and Data Communication or QVGA LCD and miniSD Memory Card?
I guess I'll just figure it out when I get there...
