“MEN” is NOT the plural of “MAN” in japanese, idiot boy.

pronounced “Mah-n”
3 MAN

looks like RIM has solved overheating handset problem.
DoCoMo’s site says that sales of the Bold will resume from April 10.

Roaming into Japan with US based 3G Blackberry or cell phones is the pitts. Reception is unacceptable. I sit in my Tokyo office and am lucky if I can get one bar. When I get up to move or take a leak down the hall – forget it. I recommend using a Japan “based” NTT DoCoMo Blackberry 8707H model provided by JCR Corp (www.jcrcorp.com) who are the only ones I can find who rent this device. They provide unlimited data and “FREE” incoming calls and also plan to rent the Bold model as soon as the overheating issue is resolved. Rent this device and you’ll save on the roaming costs.

Looks as though DoCoMo is about to release the Blackberry Bold on the 20th. Looks pretty cool.

JAson;
We currently only support Corporation on BES – Blackberry. We are not going to windows mobile with any device nor can we manage these due to our security and corporate policies. Only BES. We have tested some Windows Mobile devices as we recently migrated from Lotus to Exchange but they will not be used. Thanks for the reply and I will do some homework on on what you suggested. I am not familiar to Softbank. Now that the BOLD will be out in a week or so, we are anticipating a shift in how AT&T will support Japan with the new phone.

Why not get the smartphone (windows mobile) from Softbank? It handles Japanese fine and you don’t have to get some wierd service plan to get free calls to your mates (or anyone on softbank for that matter)

Jyuuzo…
I just sent 2 managers to Tokyo with 8707g’s from Cellhire. Everything worked great. Now, when my managers returned to US, they said all the people that they met from the US have the 8707g with At&t cards and International Calling Plan. Everything works like this. Of course, this does not address the Japan language barrier that DoKoMo is trying to do but it at least keeps them attached to their BES in the US.
Thanks for the article…
We are waiting for the Bold and to send them back in November 08 with the Bold to see if it will work.

The Bold is not been released in Japan yet, so don’t know if it has been tested. Send me one and I will test it for you.
