(keitai-l) VODAFONE W-CDMA handsets to be the same in Europe and Japan

Vodafone Italy has demoed the V810SA UMTS in Italy during the SMAU
fair and has confirmed that will be sold in Europe with a different 
model
number. The phone will be anyway the same apart from software changes
needed for teh european market.

This is quiet a revolution and beginning from W-CDMA so we will have 
the same
Vodaofone handsets in JP and EU (Probably also the others Vodafone 
W-CDMA
markets).
