Guys,

yesterday we met with a well informed list member
for coffee and he showed me that DoCoMo decided
to rename the link in the official i-mode menu from
"English" to "Eigo Menu"...unfortunately written in
Hiragana.

This just approved my theory that not more than 50 English
speaking people use this anyway and all of them are list
members of Keitai-L :)

Today I checked again and DoCoMo could imagine that
a link to the English menu makes more sense if the
native language for English is used and they changed
it back into "English".

Anybody has an idea how long they had this in Japanese
on their menu?
