Technically no (apart from the 1-Seg tuner, substitute with a DVB-H or similar). The reason I would imagine these are not sold outside of Japan is I doubt they would sell very well. What these photos fail to show is the phones are freaking huge!
Aside from that, these phones have nothing that we don't have in Europe.
I don't care about "freaking' huge", I care about a decent-sized screen, camera, and stuff like that. I don't want to carry an iPod, cellphone, camera, and all that separately. A SO905iCS will do just fine.
These all have GSM, and are capable of being unlocked, BTW.
It is very funny saying Europe has these type of phone when it doesn't. Most people don't care if the phone is huge or not nowadays except some girls.
When you take these 905s out, every if not all phones you see selling in Europe and America are like plastic toys for kids. You will get laugh at when you pull out your iPhone in Japan. You have to look at those screens and cameras to believe how much better they are.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
