Just heard rumor from my wife that the 801sh can be unlocked for use in China. Still need to confirm this, but there is hope...
Mike: Although I havent checked the pin layouts on the 801sh's SIM contacts, I can definitely say that the Vodafone SIM card works in any other GSM phone (i.e. tested on an unlocked Nokia 8xxx series handset) and you can use it just as if you were using the 801SH in a foreign country. However, the reverse doesnt work.. :(
In the meantime, the GX30/32 is still looking like the best alternative for the rest of us outside Japan...

Who can help me to answer if I regist the V801SH with the operator in Europe or asia OR NOT? I mean I can put my GSM sim card (eg. T-mobile or Singtel GSM SIM card)and then the mobile can work on the network or not (pls Note only in specified network). Thanks.

Ahmet, only Vodafone USIM card will work with the V801SH. Vodafone USIM card has a unique electrical contact design that is different from other SIM card and it will not work with SIM cards other than that of Vodafone USIM card.

Khaan, to answer your question about supporting MP3s, you have to convert them using Panasonic's SD-Jukebox software, and then using a SecureSD card reader/writer (not just any normal SD card reader, SecureSD!), you transfer the files on/off to the SD card.
Alternative way is good ol' analog to digital conversion using the little dongle they give you to plug your headphone into. This can work both ways, or if memory serves, there is also an optical one for input too... (I forget cuz I haven't seen ours since my wife took it with her...)
Ray, your question about the Bluetooth feature... I didn't know that the V801SH even had Bluetooth. I know that the GX30 does however. (Bluetooth isn't that big in Japan as it is elsewhere around the world... just kinda getting started...)
JIM & MIKE: wow, that's a surprise... I didn't know you couldn't use the cam and media player without the USIM in there! I'll definitely have to look into that. My J-SH53 (the predecessor to the V801SH) still works fine and dandy as a cam, sound & video player and JAVA game console for me here in the U.S. Only thing that doesn't work: making / receiving calls.... :(
KalvinFung: That's wonderful news! If Hong Kong will have it, maybe it'll be unlockable.... maybe?? (keeping fingers crossed)

Khaan, V801 does not support MP3 file. There is no way to unlock the unit, the design of the Vodafone USIM card and the regular SIM card is different.

The v801 ain't going to take any sim card other than vodafone or even a japanese prepaid one's so don't even bother trying it. It's locked tight!!!

Hi! I've been reading the threads. Does anyone know of a phone I can use in Japan and the rest of the GSM world? If someone unlocks the V801SH can I just pop in a prepaid sim card in Japan and it will work?
Thanks!

JIM, regarding utilizing the camera and multimedia function without the USIM card installed? Unfortunately it will not work without the USIM card installed. I just tried it and sure enough it doesn't... And I don't think there is an way to unlock this handset..
