I replaced the outdated cellular phone lately. Actually I wanted to wait for iPhone until released in Japan, but my cellular phone was really acting up. Also I have to change the carrier if I use iPhone. It comes from the particular kind of Japanese cellular phone market I bloged before.

However, I could buy really cool cellular phone which was designed by Kashiwa Sato who is famous Japanese graphic designer. Needless to say, I set the standby screen to the Mac OS X style.

I'm really disappointed but the Bluetooth is not installed (the cellular phone equipped with bluetooth doesn't exist in fact in Japan).
I was able to synchronize the data of iCal with the scheduler of the cellular phone by USB interface(Also it's by wired...). However, I don't think that I positively use this function(It's should be wireless).

By the way this cellular phone include mobile web browser (which was called i-mode on my carrier). My old cellular phone had same function but it only supported Shift-Jis encoding(because it's really old one). Now my new cellular phone supports UTF-8 encoding. This means I can use the bulletin board system that created by the RapidWeaver BBS on cellular phone. It's really convenience.
I'm into cellular phone situation of foreign country. I'd appreciate, if you make a comment about the cellular phone situation of your country.
