If you want to go for a cool Japanese phone look for the older Vodafone Japan models. Most of the 9-series, the 8-series, and the 7-series can be unlocked to use in the States. This includes- 903SH, 902SH, 902T, 903T, 904T, 804SS, 803T, 802SE (called the Sony Ericsson V800 or the Z800 in other countries), 802SH, 801SH, 801SA, 803T, 703SH, 703SHf, ahd the 705T. If you get any of these phones with original Japanese firmware then you'll have to take some effort to load music on the phone. For the SHarp and the SAnyo phones you'll need a Panasonic (this is required as the SD-Audio system won't work with any other brand of card reader- a Lumix camera or a D-snap audio player will work too) SD card reader and SD-Jukebox or MOOCS player. For the Toshiba phones you'll need Beat Engine for the 904T, the 803T, and the 705T. For the 903T and the 902T you'll have to live with your music in AMR format (conversion can be done in Quicktime but your music will sound like it's coming from an AM radio on a bad day). For the Sony Ericsson you'll have to load your music in wave format (.wav) or convert to AAC (.m4a but change to .3gp). For the Samsung I have no clue. If that sounds too complicated most of these phones can be had with foreign firmwares that make things so much easier. The SH phones (except the 801SH and 703SHf) were all released in Europe so you can get European firmware and avoid the whole SD-Audio mess. For the 803T and the 705T you can get their HK equivalents if you don't want to fool around with Beat Engine, and the Sony Ericsson and Samsung can be flashed to HK firmware which loosens up a lot of the restrictions placed on the phone's media player. I'm sorry if this seems too long-winded, but you sounded put out at not having a Japanese phone so I wanted to present some alternatives to what you were thinking of getting.
