SH-01D or F-05D

[patrixl]

Now decided to get SH-01D. Thanks for all your feedback! Hope i like it. Gonna order it tomorrow. Wonder where can i buy a cheap FOMA charger since it doesn't give a foma wall charger @.@

Don't buy a foma charger, it's an android phone and uses a microusb charger, like every other Android phone out there...

Now the dock may be another story, but for the phone itself, it's micro usb.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but even in Japan I've only seen microusb for Android phones...

There are some FOMA chargers on Ebay.com, but they're quite pricey. This is the cheapest one I found: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DoCoMo-FOMA-...#ht_500wt_1202 (15 USD).

As I said before, and a Patric also just told you, you only need this if you want to use the cradle. Otherwise, just get a standard AC to microUSB charger - they should sell them in any computer/phones shop.

I currently own a android phone, but was hoping to give it to my mom to use. I still don't understand, why did they not include a wall charger for that phone. I was just seeing that the dock would just be a waste if there isn't a foma charger. F-05D's dock still uses MicroUSB. SH-01D's dock also cannot be used with a cover. @.@

The FOMA charger is universal for Japan - before the advent of Android smartphones - every brand and every model uses the same charger. You (being a Japanese buyer, and the phones are not originally intended for any other buyers) are assumed to already be in possession of at least one such charger.

Still, Sharp at least, used to provide one charger with every new keitai. They've discontinued this since they started making smartphones, and I guess the same applies for other brands as well - the Japanese do set a good example of cutting unnecessary expenditure.

SH-01D comes with a FOMA charger adapter cable in the box, so if you did want a FOMA wall charger, it will work out for you

Does data transfer work when using the adapter? Just curious.

Nope, it doesn't.

The cradle uses a foma charger instead of a micro usb cable?

Yes, it does (on the SH-01D cradle).
