Any ideas on plans or thoughts about softbank vs docomo?

Check for another thread about cell phone.

Someone is suggesting AT&T Tilt as a good cell phone to bring in from the US since the same phone costs more in Japan.

It runs Windows so you can use Skype on it to call your family, friends, and significant others back home.

Once you subscribe to Skype Pro, calls to US and Canada are free, aren't they?
