wish I saw this, but it was too late.
Guess I'll be waiting for next phone to be launched.

Hi Amnesia,
would you have been able to buy that phone in Japan?
I am trying to find out if shops will sell 'handsets' only because usually you have to be a Japanese resident and buy a contract.
Thanks!

i would have taken a contract and cancelled it.
There is no minimum term in Japan.
And the cancellation fee is 15 pounds.
So I was going to take the minimum contract and cancel it the next day.
Its fine. As long as you dont mention it to the store you get the phone from as they would appreciate that fact even thogh its possible.

Even if you got yourself a Japanese 902, you'd have an extremely hard time trying to unlock it. There's heaps of people wondering how to unlock these things.
When I'm in Japan I may look for unlocked Sharp 902 or SE 802 (that's if I havn't already bought a new phone in Australia before I go). Any issues with these phones in terms of bugs, hard to use buttons, laggy performance?

If anyone finds out how to unlock the Japanese phones, then please post.

Hi Meito-kun,
HowardForums has a lot of discussion in the Sharp section about unlocking 902sh's..
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=246
Lot of comments about the reprovisioning problems, bluetooth etc..
I also heard 802se's are having problems!
Many people are getting 902sh and flashing it in Hong Kong to SX813 firmware
