as we learned yesterday, Gerhard is now a native English
speaker (Slobby vs Sloppy) and you complain about my bad
English all the time in private mail anyway, so what's the
point of doing your job for free?

First this list is moderated and we don't get the mails as
early as you post them and second it's basically a bad article
not really worth a translation. But since you ask so nice,
here is a summary anyway:
* Start of German i-mode: March 16th 2002.
* German i-mode works based on GPRS.
* Only one handset available in the beginning: NEC 21i,
paku-paku style (foldable), color screen, 120x160 pixel,
256 colors, polyphonic ring tones, integrated (?) games,
T9 text input system.
* The phone costs including a 24 months contract 249 Euro.
* G-i-mode costs 3 Euro monthly with a contract for
at least 6 months.
* Packet fee is 1 cent for 1kb.
* Pay content is available between 0,25 to 2 Euro per month.
* One max 1000 character long email (called i-mail) costs 0,19 Euro.
* The first 2 months they offer 50 i-mails and 10 content
subscriptions for free to promote the service.
