That is not true - you may have misunderstood what they tried to explain
to you in the shop. All you have to do is pay approx. YEN 10,000 extra
in addition to the standard change fee and you can "upgrade" or 
change your handset even 2 days after you bought the previous one.

No. see above.

There was a special offer period until March 31, where this extra fee was
waved.
