Ach. How hard can it be to implement customizable input methods (by way 
of Java, for instance) and unicode in mobile phones... I just hate how 
mobile phones are incompatible at so many levels across borders.

Over here, the phones use iso-8859-1 or Unicode, and of course they have 
a different frequency range than Japanese phones. Somebody hand me a 
shotgun.
