But again, why does Benny promote the ability to roam overseas if you cannot use 3G?

With the exception of Japan and South Korea, you can roam the rest of the countries with 2G.

You can lock on to 3G network, just no video calls yet.

I don't make video calls so this doesn't concern me.. Wait does this mean I can actually use my keitai in Japan with the new hypersim?

There's still alot of countries around running based on GSM networks, be it GSM 900/1800/1900mhz bands. Since most NTT Docomo phones (with the exception of some Fujitsu and NECs I think that supports additional GSM 850mhz band) are running based on this tri-band GSM networks, it means now Benny's newly-released cards have this stable ability to roam in countries running on these GSM network bands with no manual CPR method needed. (usually when u switch countries and roam, the TMSI for the network tower u logon changes so it means a manual CPR method is usually required when u go overseas)

I don't make video calls so this doesn't concern me.. Wait does this mean I can actually use my keitai in Japan with the new hypersim?

As what whatz_triz bro has shared previously, with the exception of Japan and Korea u're able to roam with no CPR problems in countries operating on GSM networks. In countries like Japan and Korea, you may be able to logon the 3G network but you definitely won't be able to receive incoming voicecalls/videocalls for that matter, as it's a current hypersim limitation. (so far only Rogers network based in Canada are able to support 3G network correctly for NTT Docomo phones at this moment, for both incoming/outgoing voicecalls afaik)

Sending/receiving smses will pose no problem though while in 3G mode, this is shared by some overseas forumners from what I heard and since I haven't been able to test this personally myself, maybe someone else who has tested this in Japan can feedback on this further? So until Benny and iNEX Taiwan gets ready their new batch of 3G-supporting hypersims, let's just say that currently the 3G support in these NTT Docomo phones is kinda crippled at this moment, for now that is.

Cheers.

Create ringtone for Docomo phone

Hi anyone know is there any freeware out there which allows converting mp3 (abt 20 secs) to mld format? Very hard to find mld ringtone of the songs I like so tot of DIY.

Here are some pictures I took with NTT DoCoMO F-01B(12MP CMOS), SH-03A(8MP CCD) and Samsung OmniaPRO GT-B7610(5MP CMOS). Its for comparison of the CCD and CMOS sensor and that of the keitais and local phones:


^NTT DoCoMo F-01B Auto


^NTT DoCoMo F-01B Landscape


^NTT DoCoMo SH-03A Auto


^NTT DoCoMo SH-03A Landscape


^Samsung B7610 Auto


^Samsung B7610 Landscape

Click on the picture for the original full resolution taken by the phones if interested.

EDIT: The pictures were all taken on the same day and time, so the color change is due to the phone differences and the different settings.

 

[sknet.tech]

i guessed the weather color change too often hard to compare for me.......maybe others can tell?

 

[Skyline R34]

Oh yeah, the pictures were all taken on the same day and time, so the color change is due to the phone differences as well as the settings. As to which is better, I'll leave it to you guys to judge. Personally, I prefer SH-03A Landscape, although its looks a bit too blue-ish.

 

[sknet.tech]

so its not the weather reflection from the water?

Oops, sorry, don't really catch on what you are trying to say.

 

[sknet.tech]

wat caused the color differentiate? is it becoz the reflection from the weather?

 

[Skyline R34]

Oh, no. It shouldn't be. I took the pictures consecutively, so they are at most 5 minutes apart. So all the conditions were the same, the only variable factor being the phone and the settings(auto or landscape) I also used the building as the focus subject to ensure the cameras were adjusting the necessary settings on the same object.
