Yes , There is a problem of roaming As I think all the Phones in japan
are CDMA type.

I am looking for the blackberry phone available in japan that contains
the GPS - enabled location based services. I have tested it on 7520
outside japan. Is it available in japan.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Kapil
