I’m also prefer the touch HD

Absolutely buy it though EM Mobile. I have been using Softbank for 2 years now, my contract is up in December. Come December first I am canceling my Softbank contract and never ever looking back. They could be selling the Touch HD　II and I would never ever even think about considering signing up with them again. I had so many issues with their service they they never helped me with, I purchased extra insurance and sent the phone away when it had a small keypad issue, they told me there was water damage and they couldn’t help me. My friends, whoever signs with softbank, now this is just in my opinion, who ever signs with softbank is out of their mind. Horrible, horrible company, you could give me free service and I would never go back, you could give me anything, I would never EVER go back. I HATE SOFTBANK, だいーきらいー！　　Also, EM Mobile is more cost effective!

I can third that Softbank sucks the big one. Terrible customer service with the X01HT and plan was way overpriced for Windows Mobile plans. They ended up crediting me for the troubles (3000yen), and I won’t ever go back again. Beware! Don’t trust all of those Softbank ads on TV.
