wah.. thanks for the prompt response droid!
so it is true that japan ap ser doesnt have hotspot function.
oh well. it doesnt matter which version to get right? as it can be flashed back to yakju version to enable the said function.
by the way, do you mind to share or point out how can i check for the model number to see if its a i9250 set or japan set?
some countries like european countries also have restrictive network protocols type..
for example, in paris, certain wifi channel or certain 2.4ghz bands are not allowed to be used, using it will break laws, and u will get penalty.
im guessing in japan there must be some sort of law against the wide useage of personal hotspots to will maybe prevent overcrowding.. just imagin, in an apartment building with thin walls, wifi will penetrate will no rubber

, frictionless. hence if a heavy density pop like them turn on their hotspots in 4 buildings, there would posibly be overlapping channels, frequaency mixed up and all sort of problems..
just imagin ur porable house phone ring ever 1 hr and itz just a bandwith mixed up, or u just brought a new wifi router and optic fiber network but cannot choose a decent quality channel to use the speed.
i salute docomo taking part in these aspect..
we dun nid these as our building stucture uses alot of steel reinforcements and thick bricks, meaning wifi will be dampen and not really cross over..
soo nex time if new rich neighbour move nex to u, remember when they build house pay the worker replace the bricks to clay so u can bolo wifi
