[Q] Release in Japan?

---

I'll be moving to Japan soon and I'll be looking for a new phone when I get there. I'd like to pick up a SGS2 or other dual core beast but I've had a difficult time finding anything on a Japanese release or if it would work in Japan and on which carriers. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? I know Japan uses a WCDMA as well as some other mobile technologies and frequencies but I haven't been able to decipher if a "generic" SGS2 would work if I pre-ordered one and took it over.

Thanks.

You're moving to Japan and so will be using the phone in Japan? In that case, if you want the S II, it is coming out on NTT docomo. The original Galaxy S launched here last year with Froyo.

Correct. Moving, living and using the phone in Japan. Thanks for the info, I've been unable to find anything about it being released over there. Do you know any sites about when DoMoCo will pick it up?

Thanks for the intel!

Subscribe to juggly.cn on the web and @juggly on twitter. The guy does nothing but post about Android 24/7. He often gets info about release dates, leaked pics etc.

He mentioned that docomo would announce their summer lineup in late May. The S II is going to be known as the SC-02C.

My own blog is sporadically updated, just not the place for hot news
