It's 28.8 kbps, as with the 504 series. (As opposed to 9.6 kbps, for all
previous i-mode phones. Also, this is download only, upload is still 9.6
kbps.)

Not at all strange; you don't promiently mention a feature that doesn't
compare well to your competitors. (Most of the 505 series have 1
megapixel or greater cameras.)
Does anybody know anything about the group scheduling that it does? Does
this P-SQUARE thing also allow you to see and manipulate your schedule
from a personal computer's web browser or whatever? If so, that would be
cool. (Though perhaps there are already i-appli out there that do this.)
But other than that, nothing really struck me as a particularly cool
feature about this keitai. I've got to get my hands on a connected
Fujitsu to check out how slow the rendering really on web pages; it's
going to have to be pretty bad (and the panasonic pretty good) before
I'd switch. (But, from my experimentation with a disconnection Fujitusu,
it might well be that bad.)
