Pretty girls. The JDCMA may referr to Au's CDMA service, not DoCoMo, which is PDC. This phone is really only necessary because of S. Korea's decision to go entirely CDMA. For everyone else the most logical "world phone" decision would be quad-band GSM plus WCDMA-2100. This will be particularly true once S. Korea's WCDMA coverage is more fully deployed.

Apart from it being a little wide, I love my Nokia E61 is carries the frequencies mentioned by Don, together with Wi-FI/VOIP.
