Does anyone care about BON'Z? or do they get ignored because they're all guys. A pretty decent band. Their music is the best out of all the current Runtime bands, imo.

^^^^ It's quite good and solid. Music playback sounds clear plus a nice bass boost. Good phone to go with for music, which is why I got it. The files have to go through a converter to be playable on the phone, though. So no drag and drop mp3s. The overall design and features are great. Only thing I don't like(and didn't realize when I bought it) is the lack of flash on the camera. The camera pretty much sucks under low lighting.


btw, candybars are the ones that look like this,


They're pretty rare in Japan nowadays, at least from what I've seen on product lineups. Clamshells/flip seem to be the most popular over there. I personally like clamshells. Nokia makes good candybar phones, I have a few friends who are Nokia freaks. As for service providers in the US, I believe Verizon and Sprint don't use sim cards, so unlocked overseas phones gotta go with T-Mobile or AT&T. Those four are the main providers over here, in California.

3G music phone, 2.3 megapixel camera, expandable memory. Horay for Japanese phones. That Sony Ericsson W51S is slick, I want one.

From what I've seen, MARIA's singles have done decent, with moderate sales. They placed above #20 the first day, but didn't have enough staying power for the weekly chart, which is where it counts. I don't really rely on rankings and sales though. A single or album's sales doesn't account for it being good or not. In Ayu's case, her singles instantly hit number one because of her massive fan base.
