Joe,

For Symbian you have a choice of DoCoMo or Vodafone. I'm not familiar  
with DoCoMo's service so I can't comment on their version of the  
Nokia 6630. Vodafone Japan offers two models, the 702NK (6630) and  
the 702NK II (6680). Don't waste your time with the 702NK II, it  
simply doesn't have enough memory to do anything useful. The 702NK  
should be fine for your demo and as long as your app is "Symbian- 
signed" you shouldn't have any problem installing it. Opera Mini  
should run fine as well as your MIDP app.
