Moving to Japan... will I be able to use email (text messages) on a Tytn?

[Guest marky mc]

Hi all, I'm moving to Japan in June and want to take a 3G mobile out with me such as a Tytn or G900. My question is, I know that out there they use mobile email instead of SMS messaging. Will I be able to use this with a Window Mobile device either normally or through an update of some sort? Does it depend on provider? I don't mind which one, but Softbank seem good for gaijin.

I really want to keep using WinMo but don't really want a Japanese language model.

Many thanks in advance!

I was under the impression Japan uses a differnet network to the rest of the world CDMA i belive, so GSM based phones will not work on their system.
