I watch /A LOT/ of Japanese movies and they always seem to have super cool phones.
Is there a website where i can buy Japanese cell phones that will ship world-wide?
Also will they be compatible with sim cards in other countries?

I have a Softbank phone I got back during time I spent in Japan two years ago. I will be returning to Japan and I am wondering if I can use my Softbank phone with another carrier's prepaid sim card? Or are phones locked to the carrier?

I would get Softbank again but the landlord tells me Softbank gets poor reception at my apartment.
