I got iPhone  February 2nd, 2010 by admin

Japan was the first country to inaugurate a 3G network in 2001, when NTT DoCoMo which is the largest mobile carrier in japan, started to provide 3G services.
Since Japanese consumers no longer buy 2G phones, these will soon disappear completely from the market.
Anyway, I’ve been using 2G cellphone for 5 years and I have a contract with Softbank that is the third largest mobile carrier.
But they are going to stop the service for 2G cellphones from April. That means I needed to change my 2G phone to 3G phone. Then I decided to get IPhone which I’ve really wanted. Softbank is the only carrier that sells iPhone in Japan. Fortunately, I have a contract with them.
And the reason why I got iPhone is easy to upload new information or what’s happening in Japan on Twitter or Facebook, cool and I love Apple stuff.

I thought it would take time to change a phone but it took only for 40 mins including the explanation about how to use iPhone and filling in the contract.

    @Mana: That’s good for you but must be expensive for only 1 year contract, no?
