Do J-Phone and AU phones have the same API restrictions that the Docomo
ones do--no straight TCP connections? If they could do that, you could
have ssh access.
I agree that it's a failing, though for me, anyway, it's pretty minimal,
since I can't imagine doing anything serious via a phone, anyway. Even
on my one of my PDAs, where I do have ssh and direct Internet access, I
never use it.

I agree with that. Also too heavy. Although that new AU stick-phone is
really, really nice. (Thin, light, and very cool looking.) If only it
had all the features of my 505.
