Hello Everyone.
I have a Blackberry 8707v (UK Model) working with Japanese.
I can see all Messages send in Japanese Hiragana as well as Kanji.
Basically, you must download the east asian language pack from blackberry website, then install it on your desktop, then connect your Blackberry and in the desktop software click on application load and load the language pack. I loaded the simple chinese and japanese languages.
Apperantly only 8707 can show japanese in UK and the forthcoming Blackberry 9000 will.
There is no charge for this and you dont have to pay a penny to anyone heee haawwww...
you will also need to have BES Enterprise 4.1 or above as enterprise server and also you will need to install Japanese Language pack on the desktop/Laptop to make it work..
I know its a lot of work but its worth it to see the smile on a Japanese worker face.
