Greenwich, CT | Softbank So I think Softbank is a GSM provider? I have a Panasonic Softbank 830P phone here I wonder what this also means? | |

| Re: Softbank It's not going to mean anything other than a source of cash to "fix" Sprint's financial situation.
It would be nice to get Softbank branding and their domain though as some sites I want to access in .jp you can only do through a mobile handset in Japan like LOVE9CUBE...you need either Softbank or AU. | |

Greenwich, CT | Re: Softbank Yeah I got this japanese phone and a DoCoMo Sony So905ics for testing awhile back but I haven't really done much because of the work to get them to work here and I never had much luck with t-mobile. | |

| | End of the line? Wonder if this means no more unlimited data and an end of the line for Nextel/Sprint company? Sure hope not because AT&T sucks in coverage and reliability in the Bay area. Verizon will bleed you dry for anything more than 4 GB of data. Sigh | |

kudos:1 | Japanese cell phones Seem to be pretty awesome, maybe we will see some of that innovation in the USA with the purchase. ( a little innovation there might draw more folks to sprint/softbank.) | |

Japanese phones are more about style then anything else.. they recycle them so quick each phone cycle. | |

kudos:2 | Subaru  already mentioned it, but there's nothing special about Japanese mobile phones. And service here is expensive. If you think service in the US is expensive, try out a Japanese carrier for a while. | |

I just wondered because they use nfc, have ota tv etc... (maybe those things are easier to support in a country the size and population density of JP. | |

Greenwich, CT | Re: Japanese cell phones My Sony phone uses NFC for train tickets and vending machines..
You know what's funny is Japan has been using QR codes for at least 5 years and NFC I think for around 4.. it took SO long for it to come here. | |
