Yep- there's a huge gray market here in China for Japanese phones. Mostly unlockable ones, but some DoCoMo and AU phones to play with too. Once WCDMA hits China people here (I live in China) will get to work unlocking DoCoMo phones- they already have 3G roaming after all. No, they won't care if data doesn't work- the girls only really care about fashion, and in my school I'm the only one who actually uses the internet on my phone (except when on school trips- without a computer nearby they'd rather use MySpace or Facebook on a tiny 160x160 screen than not at all; it's so sad).
