in the uk, i had the new nokia 7110 wap-enabled phone... when it came out in the spring - i gotta say it was great compared to what we had before - for those of us who knew iobox.com etc, we could actually send and recieve email from our phones via sms, but everyone else had to make do with sms...
so i came to japan for a year in the summer, as soon as i got here, i got one of the loverly imode 64k "Dochimo" that is, PHS and Mobile in one - with that came 256colour screen, online rpg games (in MUDs), email et al, imode web surfing - its fantastic! and not too expensive either (i even think it was cheaper than my wap in the uk).
anyway, id choose imode anyday - packetswitched has prooven itself via the Internet anyhow...
i dunno how its gonna come in the uk or us - japan is ridiculously cheap for electronics (eg: a new AMD k6-2 500 is \2500, which is about 12quid, or $20, a new SGI visual workstation running on
NT with dual PIII 450s and 256Mb Ram plus 20"monitor is 700pounds, MDs are about 70pounds etc etc...anyway its cool - i pay 30 pounds/month for cablemodem+tv.)
i hope uk and us can match imode`s prices, cos im starting uni next year in london (^o^)
um, yeah, so thanks for listening to my 2nd ever post
