Yeah it will work in the USA or somewhere else. But you have to buy an unlock mobilephone.
Actually you can use these phones anywhere in the world with something called a hyper sim… they do support sim cards. No one’s talking about ‘earlier adoptions’, this phone is not a ‘earlier adoption’ so…
im using it now in netherlands~~with a gsm sign in the screen.can actually choose with signal u wanna use 3G or GSM. so as i said do some research first
You might want to bring something useful to the table instead of just being an ass…
This might’ve changed with the 3G phones, but earlier adoptions of Japanese phones did not use a SIM card (or any sort of card for that mather)….
They also didnt support GSM.
do some research b4 u say such dum thing like this……
No, Japanese phones wont work outside of Japan. They don’t use a SIM card or similar so there is no way to change the service provider.
Would it work fine in American though?
can it work in california usa?
and how much is it?
thx..
Good job, Paul.
no, that’s for sure.
Will this phone ever be sold in america??
Chan means cute or younger and typically isn’t a Japanese last name.
San is Mr/Mrs.
chan is more chinese if you’ll ask me and the mr./mrs. ~chan thing isn’t correct haha its ~san
Chan is your last name oh im sorry I tthought you were associating it with the Japanese surname Ms./Mrs. nevermind sorry for starting the arguement. XD
I am sorry if you take it the wrong way and felt that I was insulting you, but your username contains “ret__d” in itself, no comment, none of my business.
And as Asians you all know that we are sensitive to our family names.
So that’s why I was perplexed when you accused me of pronouncing my family name the wrong way. Which is not the case.
ok, let’s make this absolutely clear and end the annoying discussion
“chan” has different meanings in different languages
1. chinese surname, pronounced as “chehn”. a popular surname, my surname, and that’s the meaning used in this video
2. pronounced as “chahn”, a Japanese suffix for Mr/Ms/Mrs. Not a Japanese surname (FlamingKookies).
3. means “elephant” in the Thai language, I did mention time and time again “thai” which is the official language in Thailand (FlamingKookies)
I am well aware of the fact that most Asians in Cali are Chinese. I was only saying that there was a big Japanese community there, just like there’s a big Korean community there, both are bigger than the East coast for example.
There are only a few places in the world where Japanese take up a majority of the Asian population
1. Hawaii
2. Brazil
3. Japan itself
excuse me you’re the one who implied most people in California are Japanese, I think you’re the one who’s confused and you did say that Chan means elephant in your previous comment, think before you post.
majority almost all of Hawaii knows that Chan is a Japanese surname and if I didn’t know that Chan is a Japanese surname meaning Ms./Mrs. would I say that almost everyone in Hawaii knows that Chan is a Japanese surname meaning Ms./Mrs. You just pretty much voided what you said there, and don’t you think it’s amazing that an adult is resorting to insults while the 14 year old he’s discuusing with has not hm maybe you should question your maturity and not insult me for trying to correct you.
um excuse me not everyone in Hawaii knows that Chan is a surname, or aware enough NOT to start this amazing discussion
or really, everyone, everyone except the retardfromhilo?
um excuse me which part of it reads “most of the asians there are Japanese”?? gosh.
and I said Chan can mean Elephant in Thai as well. Read carefully you’re very confused. So fact of the day, chan can mean many things in different languages.
Since I was reviewing a Japanese phone I put my name up there it doesn’t mean that I would use or have to use the Japanese meaning, having the C capitalized would indicate further that it’s not a Jp suffix to Mr/Ms/Mrs.
um excuse me everyone in Hawaii knows that Chan is a surname and P.S. California population is mostly Chinese not Japanese and Chan does not mean elephant in Japanese it means Ms./Mrs. and since you were reviewing a Japanese phone I thought you would use the Japanese meaning.
no it’s the other way round, if you have grown up in California even amongst a pretty big Japanese community, the first thing you associate with Chan would normally be a surname, not a Japanese suffix.
Ask your “mainland” friends.
Since you are an Asian I’d assume that you do know how to pronounce Chan as a Chinese surname (chen). With Chan being one of the most common Chinese surnames in the world, next to Lee/Li/Wang.
And yes, there you go, I do know what Chan means in Japanese (and in Thai: elephant), and how to pronounce them accordingly to denote different meanings. In my case, it’s my surname, nothing to do with the Japanese language I’m afraid
I have no idea what relevance Karate has to the conversation, but since I live in Hawaii a state with a huge Japanese community most if not all people here know how to pronounce Karate and if they are tourists say from the mainland I wouldn’t correct them because thats just what they, I just thought that since you live in Asia you should know what Chan means and how to pronounce it.
