However, they aren't cheap, contrary to what that other poster said, however. Expect SH7218u to cost something like 5-600$. Some phones can be found on ebay, but they are usually overpriced. Import from China if you wish, the cost of phones is less, but expect the same hassle as when buying doujins and such. Middlemen all over, most likely. But I'm not sure.

Research is the key to this, no matter what phone you buy. Internet doesn't necessarily have to work correctly, even on a Chinese handset. Howardforums.com has an excellent section for Japanese Phones, I suggest you go there to check things out. And rev up your search engines.

There are also genuine Japanese phones which should work with internet, but on an individual basis, to say the least.

I have an 740SC and it aint working.

In the end I will probably run with a Lenovo P90W. It's cheap, around 100$. Not a true-blooded Keitai, but Simple, flip form, Internet that should work, but very few english comments about this handset exist, so who knows how well it works? But with the price, the gamble is worth it. I feel that a 600$ android monstrosity would cause to many tears if it doesn't work. If I'll ever see another keitai thread I might report my findings.

I hope my Berlin wall of text answers your tiny request for a thread. Such massive commitment and research is necessary for Keitai people.
