Hi everybody. Not yet bought such a device as I have first to understand wheter it is possible to install a Japanese windows. I need it to be able to read and write japanese characters and don't find a place where to find a device already equipped with such a software.
Also, does anyone know where an image of a japanese windows might be obtained ?
Thanks in advance to any one who will help.
Do you want to read/write Japanese, or for the entire OS to become Japanese?
If it's the former, you need the fonts containing Kanji, a set of registry entries to default fonts without unicode kanji chars to the Kanji fonts, and an IME that can do Kanji. A kanji dictionary is also useful.
If it's the latter, you need a Japanese ROM, and I doubt these devices have been released in Japan becauase of the different cell phone network protocols there.
More info on Fonts/IME/Dictionary here:

So, on using the phone in Japan...
Thanks Andy, nice of you and, excellent and pertaining answer. Let me go straight to my problem. I have to go to Japan for business and hope to use this device as a phone and as an e-mailer machine. You've answered for Kanji Hiragana and so on. I know that Japan uses W-DCMA as a protocol. Does anyone knows if it is possible to place a japanese SIM into it to make it operative there ?
An alternative would be to connect it (via BlueTooth) to a rent japanese phone, just for the e-mail.
Any Japanese reading this forum might pls, help?
Thanks in advance
Japanese on the English OS
i am japanese guy, and have been used Wallby--Himalaya--Blue Angel--Mini,with japanese language(OS is english, but can write/read/encoding to JP)
and also now tring to be localized Magneto WM2005.
i am very famouse guy (i hope) of the Japan/China Localization of English PPC.
To use Jpanese on ENG OS, need Japan font, replacing wince.nls=encoding inbox and IE,also font registry files, and encoding registry.
follows are my web site to show how i am fighting to be localize.(Japanese)

I was in Japan last year for 3 weeks holiday (fantastic!), but my XDAII certainly wasn't able to connect to anything GSM/GPRS like over there. It was still invaluable to have as a PDA because of the Kanji dictionary program.
I hired a J-Phone temporarily while I was out there, but I don't know whether there are Bluetooth enabled ones out there allow the XDA to use the phone as a data modem.
Asukal - interesting website, I must parctice my Japanese more!

Japan has no GSM, but has a W-CDMA, you can use W-CDMA phone with your country SIM card and W-CDMA/GSM dual Mobile Phone(such like a nokia 7600/6630). we have very few mobile Phone with Bluetooth in japan. so you had better bring your M Phone in japan.
while i am in japan,i use XdaO2 IIs+Nokia 7600 with china GSM SIM. it was not officail roaming (china Moble Co also dont know how to do), but it can be done. also Hong Kong SIM can.
if you wish to hire J-Phone<now they are Vodafon japan>, Nokia6630 and Sonny erricoson are available with Bluetooth. but those phone were sim locked. your own SIM will be rejected and must use J-Phone`s.
i am very await for the MDA-4 with W-CDMA will comming!
Thank you.
Thank you Andy. Thank you Asukal. You guys, have made me understand the matter. Now I understand that I have either to have an MDA IV (as soon as it is available) or have an MDA III plus a phone like a Nokia 6630 for when I am to Japan.
Thanks again, have a nice day.
Welcome to Japan
Mr,spinzolone>>>>
MDA IV, if it come with New OS WM2005, i can`t guarantee to enable Japanese encoding internet browsing and e-mail inbox .
In my test with Beta-WM2005,(also another chinese friend so) still cant do it currentry. but i hope it will be solved soon.
Asukal: One quick question - I'm having problems with my font-linking, notably "\". Do you have any idea what might be wrong?
I'm using XDAII, PPC2003, with the ttc font collections rather than individual files. I've checked your registry files and the linking information seem the same as mine.
Hints for Japan ...
Dear Asukal, so do you think that with a iPAQ MM2003(first or second edition) patched for displaying japanese characters, and a Nokia 6630 I'll be able to send/receive e-mail while in Japan?
And, for a matter of costs, would you suggest to buy a SIM in Japan rather than roaming from Japan to Italy?
Any other hint for a European guy?
Thanks again a lot. Domo arigato

i e-mailed u last night about Japanese input Atok, also i made cab files of another Japanese SIP "POBOX" which has predictive input system.
Just tap this CAB to install,Reginal setting must be Japanese when you install and use this.(also only can use after Localize to Japan)
down load from here
http://www.asukal.jp/JapanSIP.cab
about SIM in Japan, Japan has no prepaid SIM card. you must make conract for a year! it was cost and troublesome for forginer.(ask some japanese friend to buy his name, US$100 at the first and US$30 per every mounth. One year contract.
So i suggest use your italy SIM.
Thanks a lot Asukal, it was a joy to me to receive your quick reply yesterday evening. I've followed you suggestions and now I have a HP hx2410 - Windows Mobile 2003 se v. 4.21 perfectly "japanized".
Showed it to the Japanese manager who's going to use it and he was very satisfied.
P.S. We were told from a japanese guy that, when we go to Japa we can make contract with DOCOMO or VODAFONE. Particularly with DOCOMO, asking for a contrat FOMA we should receive a SIM card.
You know, it is not that I want to have SIM cards. To me it's enough that my phone NOKIA 6630 works there. But I'm to send a manager there and I'd better instruct him on what to do to make connections in Japan.
If you could confirm that, no matter which contract (with or without SIM card), we can work, this would bring a smile on our faces.
Have a nice day

Many Kinds of English ROM were uploaded to XdaO2-Developers.com,
You can download and write engish rom on your chinese rom.
You can srech relative thread about that(for link of DL, or how to write rom)
If i had time, i can find for you but now i am on business travel now, no time to do.
Or you sale it and buy again! because if you re-write rom, no more guarantte by devise vender.

Hi every one,
I am facing some truble with reading sms/mms/email ... since i'm in israel, i recieve some messages in hebrew but i cannot read them since instead of hebrew fonts i get little boxes (each letter is a square) . does anybody knows how to install another font so that the OS will recognize incoming messages ?
i know there is a company that alters the entire OS into hebrew (EYRON i think), but i do not wish to do so. i just want to be able to read/see hebrew fonts...
thanks and have a nice weekend everyone.
Glad to see I am not the only one with the same problem...
I regularly get non-english SMS's. UNfortunately I cant even forward them to a phone with does have the fonts.... I am forced to carry around a second phone (T68i) just for receiving SMS's,,,,
mayb thz is in chinese or jpn text
or u can try cestar to sort it out
hope it can help

Ok, I have done a bit more research on this.
There is a way of installing Hebrew fonts (TTS type)
BUT
that wont solve your problem UNLESS you are prepared to read hebrew backwards

Diopen by Diotek.

I've heard about the DioPen, but never actually tried. This time, I'm going to see if it will make a difference for me.
Thanks again!
I want to English language pack who help me! My PPC is RoverPC N7 made in Russian!
any confirmation of it working??
The diopen works very good. But it gives u serval days to try out. If you pay then its good, but if you dont, itll just give you whole buncha messages telling you to register.
But I would recommend it. I was trying to find something for free but havent found one yet.
can we like download a korean font like (like windows ttf.. whateva file it is for winmo..) and put it into the font folder?
its strange cuz i have a onmia and japanese and chinese works already
so i dont why you guys need chinese on wm6
but i would love to have a free way to get korean

It has 2 Pairs of 2 fonts inside.
Smaller pair is sans serif(NanumGothic & NanumGothic Bold),
the other is serif one. (NanumMyeongjo & NanumMyeongjo Bold)
They're released by "Naver", the largest web portal in Korea, on OFL 1.1 License.
You can use them for free.

Hi,
I have been here on the forum for a few months now and talked about Hebrew on the diamond touch with no avail. up until now No real solution came up !
Is it not time for a brave one to raise up to the challenge and help us all Hebrew reading guys ?
I strongly suggest a ripping of the Orange IL ROM, It might be the way to a solution.
I would love to be able to solve this by my self, but I lack the skills .
Thanks.
this kind of ripping is not supported in this forum. most of the ROMs here support hebrew. some are supporting with Eyron some with PDAC some with both. what's the problem? 250-300NIS?

You know a rom that works with Eyron, I have Eyron and can't make it to work, yes I payed 250 NIS and it doesn't work Eyron don't want to help me they say I need a new license that mine is not good... I am not going to pay again !
so can you help me or not ?

at some point i started using EYRON because PDAC was messing the volume buttons. if u have EYRON stay away from dutty's, aztor's and swtos's ROMs (very alike, i wonder why).
any cooker that declare that his ROM is WWE only took out the hebrew support (and not only). i don't like this, it is not fair and a cheap way to improve the ROM by taking out the language support even if they live sometimes all kind of junk (even example photos and movies) but.....that is their right.
i doubt EYRON is not helping tell them you'll move to PDAC
hi,
thanks for the answer, but you didn't exactly told me what ROM should i use... can you give me a name ?
the Problem of any Eyron Or PDAC is that after the install the device slow him self!!
so if was ROM in herbew it can solve this issue.
i understand that noone want to make some efforts in HEBREW ROM....
my brother wants this phone ..
i was wonder if there any possiblity to install hebrew at any kind
Keyboard or UI
i was checking Screenshots of Langauges and keyboards and non of them had hebrew support
can some1 check with Anysoftkeyboard or anything else he knows
Thank you
I dont see hebrew.
Send query to Huawei as to when p6 would release in Israel.
please check again i dont tink its Typed "Hebrew" but "עברית"
Thank you
I did look up that font on google and searched on mobile in android language and input settings. Couldn't find.
These are languages available currently on B111 international version ROM :
Good news for you:
http://www.jpost.com/Business/Busin...uawei-enters-Israeli-smartphone-market-327426
2000 NIS for p6 seems costlier though. Outside it would cost not more than 1550 NIS.
well already bought from ebay i hope in that case i only need to install the current firmware.
