Does anyone know why this "ships free to anywhere in the world except for Japan"? The Japanese landing page seems to only state that it'll be available soon, though I might've missed something on there as my Japanese isn't that strong yet.


When reading Japanese above your level, always pay attention to the words written in roman letters. They are a dead give away. They are awaiting certification from JATE and TELEC.

I didn't realize they were certification places. My bad and thanks.


My comment wasn't meant as "pay more attention", but as a genuine tip.

From the text that linked to the Japanese article, there were mentions about certificate, and then a quick googling of the roman words would actually be enough for almost anybody to get the gist of the text.


Probably due to rules and regulations on what mobile terminals are allowed to be sold in the country, the site mentions some certifications, but I have no idea what JATE or TELEC's certifications are.
