Do you know when docomo shows their new release for automn ?

All the summer phones haven't even been released yet, so I'm assuming the fall/winter lineup will be unveiled around september/october, with phones gradually released until march/april or so, just like this year (if I remember it all properly lol).

And 3D is deactivated on 007sh ?

If you mean whether or not 3D can be turned off, then yes it can.

There are no independent spring or autumn releases. There are only Winter-Spring and Summer. You'll be waiting until November or so before you see any new phones, based on past release schedules.

Just for reference, the releases for the past year have been, in order:

Arf, I forgot to correct my sentence >.<
Yeah I would like to know to turn off the 3D, thank you.

I will try to search the next releases and wait the next lineup ^^
Really hard don't crack to buy the 007sh

It was just announced that Softbank will start unlocking phones too, starting with the 008Z (some crappy ZTE Android phone).

Maybe the 007SH or one of its successor will be unlockable in the next few months...

[Aya19th]

I read that on other post too.
I hope some cool phone will be unlock soon ^^

I was pretty dead set on getting an 007sh but now Im not sure if I should wait or not....I guess thats part of the game!!

Hey o/

One another question, here, you say that data doesn't works in 3g even if the phone is unlocked.

So if I bought an unlock phone (works with my SIM) from Docomo under Android, it's the same thing ? 3g works for call only, not data ?

I think - read, never tried - that it should work because on android you're able to add new APNs allowing the use of non docomo internet providers.

I was referring to the SH-10C and the F-09C, not any android based device.

As a rule of thumb internet will work on all android based devices even if they're not soft unlocked.

Thank you

Does anyone know how much the 007SH costs with a 2-year Softbank contract?

[Aya19th]

I know the price just for "pay as you go" :

007sh : 81,120yen and 007sh J : 45,000yen

So I think for 2y contract it will be less than 45 000yens

[yamanote]

There's no way the J model costs half of what the normal 007SH costs- the 81k figure is about right.

If I understand the SoftBank pricing correctly, you pay the full price (probably 81,120 yen if that number is correct) and sign a contract (say, 5000 yen p/m). Over the course of the contract you get 'rebates' on your monthly contract which is why they can say '0円', since they're effectively giving back the 80k yen you paid at the beginning of your contract.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

No idea how much they'll give back re the 007SH though.

[Aya19th]

I don't know why the 007sh J is less expensive.
But my friend went at softbank and asked price in "pay as you go" on several phones.

this is the list :

Sharp aquos phone The Hybrid sotfbank 007SH (in blue) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/007sh.html ok 81,120yen
Sharp aquos phone the hybrid softbank 007SH J (in pink) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/007shj.html ok 45,000yen
Sharp The premium Softbank 004SH (in pink) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/004sh.html ok 97,920yen
Sharp Aquos Shot softbank 002SH (in pink) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/002sh.html ok 45,120yen
Sharp The premium 942SH (in pink or blue) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/942sh.html ok 48,000yen
Sharp Aquos shot 940SH (in pink) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/940sh.html ok 95,520yen
Sharp Aquos shot 933SH (in blue) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/sharp/933sh.html ok 90,720yen
Panasonic Viera 942P (in pink) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/panasonic/942p.html ok 95,520yen
Casio Exilim 930CA (in pink) : http://mb.softbank.jp/en/products/casio/930ca.html ok 48,000yen

So I don't understand too >.<

Prepaid on SoftBank is limited to several low end phones. If you want to use a prepaid SIM you need to pay full price for the phones, which is usually ~100k yen.

I'm guessing that's a contract price.
