Anyone in the know what mobile phones have Japanese language support
in the Oz market (for email/phone menus)? I would use my superb
Japanese phone here but you know, COMPATABILITY issues Mr
telco/manufacture.

Also, I have a Nokia 6310i. Is there a langauge pack for this or
something? Funny enought it has chinese and so on but no Japanese -
weird.

Taaa :-)

Japanese insist on using one-off non-standard systems, that is what you end
up with (au-by-KDDI CDMA excepted).

Not really weird when you realise there is no GSM network in Japan. Why
include a language on a phone when there is no market where Japanese is
the language.

Hi.
Well I recall someone showing me they had a phone in Oz with
English/Japanese menus. Any phones still around like that? It is
obvious there is no Jp support in regard to communications.

thanks.
