...only in japan.

http://mobileinjapan.com/2010/05/10/apple-and-softbank-keep-ipad-sim-locked-in-japan/

softbank can eat cock this. not locked, supposedly requires 2 year contract!

  • no sim free ipads sold in japan
  • 3g models not sold without contract
  • even using micro-sim network not work on sim locked ipads
  • you can not make contract imported ipad

situation, seems apple going on word.

in fact, softbank's main rival, domoco had announced plans offer microsims ipad, softbank's exclusive deal killed that...leaving ipad 3g users on 1 of worst networks in japan. it's not areas better att , verizon. on here, docomo flat out several times better, everywhere.

guess i'm happy import wi-fi model, plus mi-fi adapter.
 

ebay.
