[ Japanese phones are *SICK*, man. We americans are all "Woo! Text messaging!" while these motherfuckers have a fucking universal translator for DOGS! Not to mention cool barcode readers, TV output and crazy data services. I shit you not, NTT DoCoMo's gonna market the first computer/brain interface and 15 year old girls all over japan will be talking to each other like fucking telepaths over high bandwidth wireless links. Americans will finally get decent wireless data services around the same time. -k

edit : actually, i don't know how fast they are, but Vodaphone's data rates are like 1.5 cents per K (0.2 Y/128B), which is pretty bullshit. Maybe that's just Vodaphone or maybe the actual data services aren't as good as I think. Still, the initial statement, that their phones are ill, stands. ]
