lynn: yr question is question number 1!
up to now (pre-v800/v802) NO japanese wcdma fon offered by vodafone japan works with any gsm sim or 3g usim card. this is a fact. i have tried them all, and none work.
however, the se v802 just might be the first one. how much sense does it mean for se to make two different versions?
we will find out...

@ niji
question number 2 will be if the japanese firmware will carry english language font pack! coz if it doesn't i won't be able to send smses to ppl who do not understand japanese! 
by the way, isn't the motorola v66 a USIM phone from voda that is being offered in japan? or is it not wcdma?
@ vlamm
i'll be glad for company!!! 
anyway, at a glance it seems like vodafone is trying to make phones in japan that work with SIMs...perhaps that is their marketing strategy in japan? they will do very well if that is their mission  |

My Friend at the local Vodafone store said that the phones will be released on Wednesday 10th in sweden, so it is just 6 days away now!

Price without contract but with sim-lock (no other version avaiable) will be about 500 euro. |

I agree. ~500 euro is not very high... The contract price i posted before though, was pretty high. Lucky, as I also wrote, there will be many other contract combinations. It seems Vodafones new Swedish contracts will be announced on Wednesday, and they are supposed to be really cheap... I hope that is true, because then i will not hesitate... Soon we will know, and soon thereafter we will finally own the phone! |

if there are 3 available colours which wud u go for???
black - blends in with everything and makes a fone looks solid
white - simplicity, looks smaller, smarter, fresh
copper orange - funky, bright, standout, loud
as for me i wud go for either black or white.. but white has my favor for now... like the way the silver and white goes together... |
