What i've never understood is: if they have this sort of tech there... What's stopping it from coming here?! Does Japan have some sort of magical air to it that allows it to be two years ahead of us technologically? I don't understand why we are so far behind

Nice. I wish NTT DoCoMo sold it's Symbian-based handsets like this one outside of Japan.

#1: Because americans are interested in free or "just $29" phones that come with the service plan. These low-end but impressive to the public phones offer US carriers much more profit than high tech phones. People are happy to laugh and giggle at a 320x240 pic on a cell phone screen and be satisfied with that. We, who desire the best technology available, are very much a minority and a small part of a huge market of ignorant and easily satisfied consumers.

Im assuming not, but this phone would not work anywhere in the united states?

I wouldn't go so far as to call people ignorant because they don't care about having a fancy cell phone. For some people, all they do is use their phone to make calls, and they're happy with what's free.

well think about it. look at something as simple as 3g, it has been developed for quite some time now, however we wornt ready for it. we the consumer thought it was an unnessesary technology and we dismissed it, while at the same time in japan they were going 3g crazy.
so simply put to the japs, korean and even the chinese maket now, they leading the techno life simply because they mature alot faster.

#5 actually ignorant is appropriate because not knowing about features is being ignorant of them. As you said they are happy with what's free.. ignorance is bliss :)

actually i think its all marketing strategy. The US releases products little bit litte, gaining as much profit as possible from the people that will buy every new technology that hits the streets...for example, they release phones with 1.3 megapixels and thats the highest that comes out...everyone buys them. OH dang...2 megapix comes along, everyones gotta have that now..when japan has 4 and 5 megapixel cameras out. its a very simple maketing strategy to make lots of money from yes...the "ignorant" people out there.

pretty much the same phone.
all buttons are the same, in the same places with just different shapes.

I have this phone and it is nice. All of this for only $65 dollars--. The only thing is the software is only in japanese. I am still trying to figure out how to connect it to my english win xp. But I just use the mini SD card manually to add my files for now.
Nice camera with flash. 2gb capacity. Push to talk feature. and all the other cell phone stuff.
