im heading to japan (tokyo, osaka, and every girl in between ^_-) for a month-long vacation on saturday. one of my friends has a spare softbank phone waiting for me!
ill likely put a data plan on it when i get there as wireless was too sparse to be useful on the n810 last time i was there. at least with the n810 i had an external ethernet adapter to plug in with... why nokia, why??
when i get there ill pop the SIM and report back!

I'm moving to Fussa (25 mins from Tokyo) in about 4 weeks or so. I have perused this thread and it seems possible to get my N900 working there. I read of Softbank's website that most (if not all) Nokia phones are not supported with data plans. My buddy who lives in Japan now actually has a SIM in his N95 on DoCoMo's network. But it seems that with 3G, I should be ok and my deivce should work?

Plan on a Japan vacation in May. What options exist if I want to use my N900 mainly for net access there? Do any of the rental phone services come with data that can be tether to the N900?
Looking into a bit more it seems b-mobile may be the best option for N900 3g data in Japan? Has anyone tried this yet.
The website only shows a USB device; can the sim in it be easily removed & is it usable in the N900?
How does the 150 hours of usage work since were talking about data? Likely much more then I need for a 8 day vacation so can this thing be resold with whatever is left on it?

So does anyone know if what I'm asking will work? I'd love to have 3g data net access on my n900 for the 8 days that'll I'll be in Japan. I've read that b-mobile also has another USB modem with 150 minutes but I don't know if it's 3g.
