hey I was just wondering what the cell phone system was like in Japan. I mean, is it like NA where people get ripped off from big companies with service plans that last years, or are there a lot more and convenient pay as you go cell phones available to buy in most stores?

also, anyone know if they have VoIP on their cell phones yet??

Japanese cell phones are years ahead of what we have here. With the exception of maybe the iPhone, seeing as how that's popular over there.

Acutally iPhone is years behind the japanese market. I mean look at Nintendo DS that had a touch screen and look how old it is, imagine what japanese cellphones you have.

Those little box things when you scan it with your phone and get a file look pretty neat.

Doesn't the iPhone allow for multiple touch points? The DS can only detect one at a time.

Japan only likes iphone because it's apple, otherwise it's pretty behind in functionality. It doesn't even have 1seg, which it should, for it's ridiculous price.

DS WAS MADE WHAT 2004 do you really think the japs cant invent something as easy as that... also if i remember corretly Taiko no Tasujin has a limited multi-touch software feature that lets you drum both the empty space and the drum.

TYPE PROPER ENGLISH GODDAMN IT IS NOT DIFFICULT
Stop using ellipses they look ridiculous

Multipoint touch screens existed when the DS was made, Nintendo just decided they were too expensive to use. Same as how the Virtual Boy could've been full color, the Wii could have had perfect 1:1 motion control without this MotionPlus nonsense (Nintendo agreed, don't bother them about it), etc. I don't think the DSi has them either, though I might be mistaken there.

I agree with this.
What do you expect? I speak 4 languages, I cant speak them perfectly i make the same type mistakes when typing croatian, i dont have the will to check every sentence i type. I think one thing and type another, this happens.

>Stop using ellipses they look ridiculous
An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence. I like them...

I don't care where the fuck you're from, it does not take that much effort to put a goddamn apostrophe in "can't." Additionally, like it or not, this is an English message board, and as such at least a certain baseline of English competency is expected. I wouldn't go to 2ch.ru and start yakking in broken Russian.

Abusing ellipses cause you to sound as if you're trailing off, which is both stupid and dumb and also stupid. It also makes you sound like you're 14 years old.

ALSO, "it does not take that much effort to put a goddamn apostrophe in "can't." well it does if you're using a croatian keyboard. Additionally even if it's an english board I'm by no means obliged or whatever to speak proper English here, you see "english" forums all around the internet and most of then don't contain proper english with apostrophe in dont cant woldnt etc... and for bloody fucks sake we're on 4chan
