I used a Sony Ericsson K610i (tri-band and 3G UMTS) that I bought a few months back from celluloco.com ($250.00 at that time). I also have international roaming service turned on, which is free to activate at T-Mobile.
Rates in Japan for T-Mobile, if I recall correctly, is $1.99 per minute voice calling and receiving. However, other than a flight cancellation emergency when I had to call a couple of hotel for making and holding reservations (quick answers from Holiday Inn Priority Club service desk by the way, not much hold time), I only used text messaging to coordinate where to meet and times. Rate for text message is $0.35 per message sent.

Apart from Satelitte phones all mobile/cell/pcs/GSM/CDMA/3G etc etc phones work with cells. (Even Analogue systems)
Well... actually, phones that should be called CELLULAR phones are the ones that operate on the CELLULAR band, (in US the Cellular band was set at the 800 mhz band). PCS phones on the other hand operate on the 1900mhz band (the PCS band) in the U.S. The names came from these.
But who cares, cellphones are cellphones haha
