Looking to buy Japanese phone

I'm looking to buy a Panasonic p900iv. Yes, I know where it's from and yes, I'm fully aware of where it can work and what I have to do to get it to work. But first, I need the phone.

How different are the prices in Japan?

I'm about to purchase a Sharp SH01D off Craigslist for $550. Would it be cheaper through your route? (I will also compensate you for your good deed).

Not sure about new, cause you probably need someone that lives there to get it for you, but you can get a mint used SH-01D for about $300-$350 CAD, sadly most places won't be able to ship it over with the battery here unless you use certain shippers which cost a quite a bit more.

What difference does it make with battery? Taxable?

Air/EMS can't send lithium batteries or something.
Probably need to find like FedEx/DHL, not too sure.

EDIT: More details: http://www.survivingnjapan.com/2012/...h-lithium.html

its actually quite easy to get them, i speak fluent japanese and know a lot of people. When i went last time i just went to BIC camera and bought 3 phones directly from them. I had my alien registration card and just signed up and cancelled. Still way to cheaper.

your right, EMS cannot ship batteries.

Yes, I can wait. I'm in no hurry to get it, I just know I want it.

Yes, I have been called an Otaku. But not too sure if I am, though. I originally wanted it after I saw it on the internet. This was after I saw the movie and no, I did NOT realize that it was in the movie. I did not want it because Cloud had it. I saw it kinda separate from it. But I do want it.

If you can pick it up for me, great! I'll take your offer.
Can you get it to work here? I heard/read somewhere that you can get it to work in the U.S. But it has to be done in Japan. Either way, it'll be a great piece to have.

Just let me know when you get back and how much it was. Do you have a PayPal account? I can get the money to you from there since it's considered safe.

How much does it generally cost to ship a battery from Japan? Trying to find someone to ship me a ASH29343 for my SH-01D.

EDIT: NVM, ending up purchasing a portable charger.

Is it natural for a site to indicate which one they're sending you? They showed the one with the dark gray cover, my friend David got it thinking they were sending the one with the dark gray cover. They didn't say which cover. But, they did however, mentioned that it was not coming with additional covers, so they got one right.

So, jambo87, you are still helping me, right? Thank you so much again! I'm willing to wait as long as I get it!!

It would help out if someone, if not you, could also get their hands on those covers for my pal.
