  • iPhone5

    日本文が後ろに続きます。 I got iPhone5. I kept Sony’s Xperia Android phone, but the iPhone is easier for me to use, with a wider variety of accessories sold all over the world than Sony.I haven’t got any Softbank’s nano-SIM card, so I went to the nearest DoCoMo shop to get a DoCoMo nano-SIM card for it, but…

    日本文が後ろに続きます。 I’ve made my Blackberry Bold SIM-unlocked, because the Blackberry I bought in Japan was locked to NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese mobile phone carrier, so when I was abroad I had to fear the phone bill charging highly expensive roaming prices. Unlocking was easy: I got an unlock code for my device at http://expressunlockcode.com/bbexpress.aspx by…

I got Nokia 6120 classic…
