I-mode is ok but the I-mode phones suck.
Nokia has said not to support I-mode on future phone, but wap 2.0.
Don't think I-mode has a big future in europe, at least not with current I-mode phones.
I prefer my t68i (long standby, smaller, bt, IrDa, ......and way better design)

and the real 2.5 generation
XHTML does the same thing and it's much more expandable.

@3.1415926 i agree I-mode is 3G whit a low quality but still beter then GPRS
and if the japanese like I-mode we wont we? they have the latest and most advanced stuff. so why don't we follow them.

I-mode sounds very attractive but here in Finland also GPRS is very cheap
with small amouths of data of course but if U use ur GPRS phone as a modem to with your laptop U will transfer alot more data and it is sick expensive.

I agree i-mode, as markup language, is a poor enabler for Mobile Internet. The best, i-mode will do for our European market, is to develop Content providers market, thanks to the reverse billing and marketing strategy.
Here in France, we need to see Operator's minds to evolve toward a sharing process to extend and enhance services provided by them AND others providers, thus to offer to the end-user a true choice for mobile services. i-mode will introduce more deeply this such process

In Europe any I-Mode service will be provided over GPRS, so it is not a case of GPRS being 'worse' than I-Mode (or 'better').
As other posters have pointed out the only real difference between the GPRS we currently have and I-Mode services are tariff structure and content. GPRS 'content' certainly could do with some improvement if the Telco's expect to make money from it.

AND content providers too (thanks to i-mode revenue sharing Biz model). Telcos won't be able to satisfy all market segment without having highly specialized third parties dedicated to specific customers.
That's why i-mode is good for mobile market.
Enablers like GPRS, color screens, more mature WAP (UAProf, M-Services,...) or cHTML are each one a brick of the whole thing that could make Mobile Internet a reality.

have any of you guys actually tested imode?
I've had it for about a month now and i use the new nec n22i with 4096 colored screen, 40 tone polyphonic, integrated antenna, 500 phonenumbers, 400sms full ems!! i-mail (email) i pay 6€ a month for 20mb of data and there are so many free sites that i havent registerd to any official pay site, i can use icq and msn mesenger, and i can also visit any classic wap site and quite a lot of normal sites.
mms is a pure messaging service, and with vodaphone live you pay quite a lot for youre data + extra for nearly any service you want
+ imode is a succes in europe in december there were 100.000 subscribers in holland, belgium and germany, half way januari there are 200.000 theyre going for the 1.000.000 bye the end of 2003. and now that samsung, siemens and others are going to produce european imode phones it can only get better, mark my words cebit 2003 is going to be verry surprising when it comes to imode in europe!!
