Japan :: mobile phone

  In Japan, it's used w-cdma protocol for mobile phone. W-cdma may be used at only  Japan and Korea. Many peaple make image as cdma2000, when you read "cdma". Because, GSM is used for mobile phone as standard protocole in many country. And some countries are using also cdma2000. Between GSM and cdma2000 are not compatible. However, between w-cdma and GSM are compatible. Cdma2000 is also used in Japan. )

  Well, i had small trouble about this cdma, when i told about Japanese mobile phone protocole with a professor who came from overseas.  He asked me about my carrier on my phone. My phone is softbank mobile. And softbank mobile is using w-cdma protocol. You already know that w-cdma is not widely used protocol. And if you say cdma then it points to cdma2000. He also thought so. And, it made small discussion about that cdma is compatible or not. Actually, i could not explain aboutit well.

  I remind about it. And i want to check that how my nexus one know about signal. Then nexus one said that softbank is used. However, it is using GSM. Sure, it didn't seal in Japan. So, it is natural that it don't show as w-cdma.

Now, the protocol is moving to 3.5G or 4G.

Bicycle insurance in japan

Long time, I was considering about bicycle insurance. Many japanese are not consider about insurance for bicycle in japan. Because japan is weak country for insurance. Many people considered about when they are attacked by car. They didn't have an idea what they may be going to be individual at fault. However, road bikes are faster than my MTB. And, many of city bikes do not turn on a head light after sunset. The old person has also no idea what the bicycles can ride so fast as 50cc motar bike. Then they easy enter in front of bicycles. Such kind of accident is not few in japan. And, the worst case of such accident, the road bike rider needed to pay 40 millions yen to attacked person. Bicycle ride's bad manner have begun to social issues. Some bicycle riders do not follow the traffic lights or traffic signs. In such background, sometime, I have risks what I will be attacked by such bicycle riders when I ride my MTB. However, as above reason, many riders have no insurance ...

Pocket WiFi + Nexus One

Last a month, I used PocketWiFi with B-Mobile SIM + Google Nexus One with Softbank mobile SIM. I used this combination for a month because the softbank mobile had problem for 3G data communication due to the wrong parameter written by staff. The communication speed was too slow. So, I try to use B-Mobile for data communication. I wanted to use b-mobile but I didn't want to change the phone plan from softbank. Then, I try to use Pocket WiFi. The largest merit of using PocketWiFi is that we can use 3G network at most 6 devices at a same time. When we are starbacks, some coffee stand, or some other places we can use 3G network through the wifi. The speed was enough for web browser. However, for the data communicating through the android application, some of them didn't work. And, the buttery power also had problem. I need to charge the buttery every 1-2 days, even if i didn't use it. And, I had some situation that I wanted to use it however I forgot to bring it with me or to c...
