    Since they didn't have my phone in the Sony Store and we can't buy from DoCoMo unless you a DoCoMo plan ID. Give Kyoex a shot, just ask for the phone you want, even if it's not listed yet. They have amazing customer service they will unlock and do everything for you. You can confirm whether it'll work with Telus with them too. The ugly DoCoMo logo will be on there, unfortunately. Cheers

        It won't hurt to confirm with the store first though. From my experience, everything worked including the Marketplace. Things that didn't work includes the radio, mobile wallet and the random extra apps from DoCoMo (nothing special). Other than that, the phone runs like your typical android.

                Just recently got it and been using it with a Rogers' SIM here in Canada. Everything works except for the Japanese apps (as expected). This is one little compacted tank.

                      By the way, one final comment.
                      I say it's the perfect phone only because bluetooth 4 currently available (as of octorber30 2012) still isn't working properly on most phones its offered in. (which are mostly samsung phones). They are having serious issues with the Bluetooth LE DualMode features available on the S3 and i would bet that the same issues are on the Note2 as well.

                      Once bluetooth 5 is out and those issues in the next upcoming phones are fixed then my opinion on the best phone out might change depending on overall design.

                      Still this is the only android phone out with good enough looks and has infrared. If you have the money (700+ USD) in my humble opinion this is the phone to get.

                        This would be the perfect phone if it had a barometer.
                        This phone basically has everything except for POGO docking which i could live without because of touchstone mods.


                        Bar+IRDA = *rough temperature readings*.
                        &
                        Bar = altitude = +1 position assist = *faster gps lock*.
                        &
                        BAR = pressure reading = rain warnings.
                        &
                        There are more i'm not going to go into. (You get the idea)

                        It is amazing what the lack of a single sensor can make or break a phone.

                                  I have this phone and baught it mainly for the design and weight. I really like smaller smartphones.
                                  It is pretty easy to use but they really lie on the battery.
                                  I believe this is mainly because of apps running in the background and "advanced task killer" app don't seem to kill them so they are always running and killing the battery.
                                  If anybody has tip/app to make the battery better, please let me know

                                  cheers

                                      Hi, I read here that this device can work in italy with italian sim. But even if it can work correctly, I think japanese HSDPA frequences are different from italians one... so can this cause stress on the phone and be deleterious for battery life?
                                      Thank you in advance
