according to various japanese sites, yr info is wrong: white and copper are not on sale.
furthermore: yr info is suspect: there is no shop in japan that will be able to sell the 802se without a vodafone japan subscription. selling of "unlocked" fones has not been, to this date, ever available in japan. if you have place that can do this, pls do let us know.

hello:
1. you can use the v800 (euro version) in Japan, with a 3g usim card from other networks. count on voice only, and maybe not being able to send sms if you do use a non-vodafone 3g usim card. you will be able to receive sms however.
2. you can use the z1010 in japan. same restrictions as above.
pls tell him to roam on the vodafone network rather than the docomo network.
thnx

sorry for being AWOL for the last few weeks, i was in china for a while and busy after I got back.
there is a respite of sorts for the V802SE DRM bullsh!t... its not perfect but it sort of works... (thanks to the tireless Japanese phone freaks, a quasi-solution has been found) -
Nokia's developer's site (http://forum.nokia.com) has a program called the 'Nokia Multimedia Converter' that you can get (similar to the SE one, you need to register to be able to DL it for free). It converts audio files to .AMR files (that the V802SE can play w/o needing to unlock via DRM), and also convert video files to .3gp format (also that play no problem).
The good thing is - audio files in .amr format can be used as ringtones!
The PROBLEMS are:
1) amr files are kind of low quality (max bitrate = 23 kbps).
2) amr files are NOT RECOGNIZED by 802SE's media player, meaning to listen to a song, you gotta leave the phone open and can't pause it or fast forward or anything.
The way around this last problem (sort of) is this - .3gp files ARE recognized by the 802SE's media player... meaning you can at least convert music videos into .3gp format videos and listen to them on your headphones with the phone closed. (unfortunately only at the same low bitrate though).
its not perfect, but if you convert a video to the minimum video quality (20kbps video) and maximum audio quality (23kbps), the files are about 1-2mb each, so even on the standard 32mb duo pro card, you can fit a good 15-20 songs...
I'm getting a friend to pick up a 512mb card for me right now, which should be enough for all the music videos i have at descent video quality....
(its not perfect, but its better than paying vodafone through the nose...)

yeah- z1010, v800, 6650, 6630 will work in japan, japan has gsm network running.
i was able to flash 3 z1010, one has 900, 1800 network; 2 has 900, 1800 and 1900
im just wondering if all these 3 units will work in japan and the other with 1900 will work in US....
should bring these units to these countries soon.

Really? I thought these phone worked on W-CDMA in Japan.
If Japan had a gsm network running, the tri and quad bands would work. My K700i does not work there.
