I've had a 740sc for about two years now. Besides the fun ability to to draw crazy text art on my phone, it's not that great.

I'd really like a new android model with Wifi, or buy that used P-04b I've had my eyes on for quite some time, but I have to spend that money on food and stuff instead.

740SC is a pretty nice looking phone (pic related)

P-04B looks pretty funky, especially with the flip-side screen thing it's got.

I also would love one o the newer android ones that have been released recently.

740sc is a fucking shit phone.
The only reason I am using is cause thats the only prepaid phone that I can get. Wouldnt even use it if I can just buy a simcard and chuck it into my corean phone.

It was pretty funny when I think about it, Japan was at the pinnacle of phone technology but they missed the smartphone wave and now they are just riding the iphone and android wave. How they have fallen.

Smartphones in Japan cost like $60 a month right to use anything more than 10MB of data or so a month right? I've checked Docomo, Softbank and that other one. It seems like price fixing.

Fuck that.

>> No.9512060

>>9512048
No.
Softbank white plan is fucking cheap.
And you can get unlimited data as well.
When I said unlimited, it is really unlimited. No shitty data cap. But 2years contract and other bullshit.
No way I am gonna pay for contract penalty.

And yeah, no tethering. That is price that you have to pay for unlimited data.

I mean, isn't unlimited data like 4500 yen per month?

Without the data plan it is less than 1000y/month.

>> No.9512085

Is there any reason to have a smart phone without unlimited data? A 10MB/month limit may as well be 0 surely.

I've never used one so I don't know.

Au contraire.
A guy I knew used to take pictures of problems he couldn't solve to show me them, the small text would have been illegible on a phone with a smaller screen (and fewer pixels).
Also they are good for browsing the internet in bed.

I don't carry any kind of electronic device and I only use cash because I don't want to be tracked. I also personally believe I'm a better person than those who rely on any kind of mobile devices while outside, especially cellphones.

I'm sure it is in theory good for anki. But I installed it days after buying it, and never once got around to use it.

Part of the reason is that I have a very special deck structure on my PC and never got around to move it.

I'm looking for a Keitai, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. The keys have to have 2 or more kokugo (thats japanese for 2 languages) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii (cute)). And it would be nice if it came with matching charms. OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of aluminum, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a Keitai similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kokugo, and I want other people to notice that it is gaikoku (foreign), plus japanese letters look more kawaii).

there are a few online stores that specialise in them, or you can get them off ebay. ebay is like double the price though.

either way though, you'll pay alot for any of them. People charge a huge premium for them, especially if they are unlocked. i think only docomo ones can be unlocked at the moment. and if it isn't unlocked, you have to deal with hypersim annoyances. I've heard bad stories about hypersims and people having to CPR their handsets every day.

here's a pic of the 007SH. it's a softbank handset, so you will need to use a hypersim if you get it.
