The iPhone 3G 8GB is 40,000JPY which is about $380, and the 16GB is 80,000 which is about $730. You can pay for it over the course of two years, with all you can use internet for 7000JPY per month. Completely opposite of the usual american plans, the free talk time is from 1AM to 9PM, and 42JPY per minute between 9PM and 1AM. That is about $0.40 per minute. Those free talk times are only if you are calling another Softbank subscriber. If you call AU (KDDI), Docomo, Willcom, or Tsuka, or any other provider here in Japan, it will cost 21JPY for each 30 seconds. This information is completely bogus.
