Nokia's NM502i I-Mode phone has gone on sale in Kyushu and was scheduled to
go on sale in Kanto yesterday, but ROM problems have pushed back the sale
date to maybe end of this month.
The phone is totally bilinual, including bilingual I-Mode navigation, but of
course I-Mode itself is in Japanese. So for example, to get to Nokia's
bilingual I-Mode site off the I-Menu, you have to go to 辞書・便利なツール
then go way down to the bottom. Once you add Nokia to your My Menu then you
can go right towards the English contents.
The phone is really small and very slick, though it's functionality is
closer to 501i series than 502i. Check it out at:
