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.

Regards;
hmeister

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.

Tmobile curve, Do you have a 3G mobile? If you don’t then there is no chance. Even if you have one, I have heard of people coming to Japan and not having any love… although things have gotten better in the last few months. Best to check with your local carrier. While you’re at it you should ask who they roam with preferably (and hope it isn’t softbank).

The Blackberry now supports full Japanese fonts and input. Take a look at this Japanese English dictionary http://www.bbJisyo.com .
