The phone features a GPS tracking system so that parents can check the location of their kids [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, Vodafone announced that it was going to leave Japan and it was eventually bought by Softbank, who are the largest ISP in Japan and linked with Yahoo!
On October 1st, the changeover from Vodafone to Softbank was complete. There were small steps in this process, for example: Yahoo! JAPAN was magically put at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Jon at PingMag has written an article comparing the most popular phones in Japan with the most popular in the West. Japan (and maybe South Korea) is easily the mobile phone (or cell phone, if you&#8217;re that way inclined) capital of the world. They aren&#8217;t just phones. Nowadays, they&#8217;re also TVs, your train ticket, business [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been told that Fukuoka is the best city to live in Japan. I can&#8217;t judge, since I&#8217;ve only spent one night there, but I do like this recent move by Fukuoka city government:
Fukuoka Prefecture will start providing disaster information in English to residents with foreign nationalities via cell phone emails while informing their families [...]]]></description>

Reuters is reporting that Vodafone, the largest mobile phone operator in the world, but the smallest in Japan, is (finally!) giving up doing business in Japan. Vodafone have not managed to be successful in the Japanese market for so many reasons&#8230; From offering a smaller choice of phones, updating their offer less often than [...]]]></description>

We announced it about a month ago: the Vodafone V501T keitai by Toshiba can disguise itself into several &#8220;textures&#8221; and patterns. The word &#8220;kigurumi&#8221; is Japanese for &#8220;costume&#8221;. As in, wearing a rabbit suit for example. For Vodafone, cute animals were not enough: they went rubber tire, cheese, soda&#8230;

This week end, they started advertising the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SonyEricsson&#8217;s 802SE is a killer device. Nice screen, SVG compliant, not too big, easy to handle. Much better specs than the Nokia and Motorola 3G-phones. We expect this phone to hit the top rank in Vodafone&#8217;s Japanese sales of handsets. 



 
Main specs:
