Cool Phone Danny! how much did it cost? I'll probably get one for my mom, she likes her keypad numbers big and clear. lol your old phone probably wouldn't have a GSM sim card in it since all japanese phones uses CDMA technology (I think only Japan & The United States use this technology). I wonder tho, whenever you travel, do they give you a separate sim card for global roaming? or do you have to forward the calls to another number. It must have been a real pain whenever you go back home to London.
Hi Danny, Could you elaborate a bit more in regard to the ability using the SIM in a RZR phone? Can you use the RZR in Japan instead of the Casio? When you're abroad using the RZR with the Japanese SIM, I guess it is a roaming service isnt it? which is quite expesnive. Cheers, Ryo
Danny, just wondering, do you still use godaddy.com for your hosting? just found this web provider while surfing around, they charge considerably less. but I'm not sure about the technical side of it is suitable for your needs, since i don't know much about those things. in any case you can check it out on http://hosting4lifesite.com/theme2/plans.html
Wow that looks pretty sleek and orange! =) And it doubles as a nice video player too! I had my Motorola M1000 for quite some time now and I love the features that came with it =0. My gripe with it is that it doesn't support A2DP natively so when its paired with HT820, the music quality is of that from the radio. Luckily since the M1000 was localized for Japan, I won't have to switch over to another phone when and if I visit that area. How much is the M1000 sold for in Japan, Danny? Cheers, Nick
Man, that is a kickass phone. BTW, this GPS feature kinda ties into something I wanted to ask you, since you like gadgets and clearly know something about this -- what's a non-Japanese-speaking person to do about finding one's way around Tokyo? I've been dreaming of a GPS pedestrian solution (with I guess enough English language in it to get by -- I understand if they didn't translate every street name) but it seems most of those seem either America-centric or Japanese-language-only.
Damn, Danny. You should have wrote about this phone 6 months ago when you first got it. Back then it was still newish and would have had more of a wow factor. Now, the new version is about to come out. But it's BUTT UGLY! Actually, come to think of it, even Japanese cellphones from 2 years ago are still better than what overseas have coming next year! (^_-)
Nifty phone! Japan have a nice range of cool gadget phones which I'd kill for, too bad they're non compatible here in HK....for the moment. I've heard that NTT docomo will be converting most of their phones to GSM compatible soon, have you heard about this? Also, I see HK currency in some of those pics, do you often visit Hong Kong, Danny?
Interesting menu ! It looks like a subway map ! ^^ Is it useful or only for fun and design ?
tat phone looks cool .. but its kinda too bright orange .. lol
nice phone, but i still think mine is better. whats with the passport and hkd in the background? you went travelling?
Holy cow, that's a flippin' bright orange phone! Looks like it does somereally cool things though, and I love the roadmap interface/browser.
Nice phone, but i must admit that I have never seen a Casio phone before, then again I only thought that Casio made watches and calculators...
Dude, that phone is sick nasty! Why the hell would you ever want to use a lame Razor instead? God, I wish I had a phone as sweet that one. What do you mean they have crappy phones over there?! Although, I would prefer a different color...
Alex and all who dont like the orange, This model comes in black and white too. Chaos Incarnate, The GPS functionality is great - when I get lost in Tokyo I just whip out me phone and it shows me where I am and guides me to where I want to go. mikes and Binod, Yep - dropped by HK for a few days for a conference. I will make a point of going there more often and may be there in November. Julien, You can change the skin of the menu - that subway menu is a pre installed one. makiさん、 どんな機種にする？ Binod, Re NTT and GSM - not too sure - sorry ToT Eddie, Took these pics when I got it and never got round to uploading! ArC, There are many folks who live here who dont speak Japanese and manage to get round. There is enough English in street signs and I guess these folks know where to look for maps etc. NickC, M1000 - not too sure if that is among the phones out here... marvin, That site looks like a reseller - I would recommending avoiding a reseller. Re phone - cost about 15,000 yen I think. Ryo, I cant use the RZR in Japan but can with the sim card in HK for example. Yep - roaming costs a ton. There are folks in Akihabara who do "illegal" mods though.
If I recall correctly, Maria Sharapova had signed up with Do Co Mo NTT and recieved it to use while playing tennis in Japan. Her phone was terribly "chic'ed" out with a pink haze and jems. Ah here: http://www.motorola.com/jp/ The splash screen shows the M1000 =) Cheers,
NickC, As far as I can tell that phone came out a while ago and cost around 20000 yen. http://kakaku.com/keitai/item/detail.asp?PrdKey=31101030695
Is this phone still produced/sold in the market?is there anyone could give me the link where i can buy it online?how much it costs on the market?Does it has "english" menu?Is this phone works with CDMA 1x or CDMA 2000 1x, or CDMA EV-DO, please, i need complete information b'coz this phone haunts me each time i close my eyes! ... & it says in terryfing words : "buy me..." "buy me...please..." :p
Hey man, I've got a Casio W41CA too and I've not been able to find much info on this phone in English >_< I want to convert videos to put on the phone and I downloaded the program you mentioned. The W41CA isn't on the list, so I'm wondering which settings I should use to create 3G2s. Or if you've got any other tips or hints about how to get video files onto my phone. I've got mysyncsuite which I used to put a 3g2 file onto the phone and it plays, but some files won't play... anyway I've written enuff. I'd really appreciate any help :D Cheers, Daniel
O my god, I want this phone, Its not available in the US, but I would like to know where you got it so I could get one. Thanks Xd
I just LOVE the metro-map interface this phone has!
