NTT Docomo iPhone 5s and BMobile LTE
- Details
I noticed a pattern on B-Mobile's website--a pattern that seemed to show that all Docomo Xi phones can get LTE. Since Docomo just started selling the iPhone 5s and 5c, my theory was that Docomo iPhones would get LTE on B-Mobile.

I'm used to ample space, spacious lawns and backyards, and a commodious garage packed full with crap I barely ever use. Over the years Japan has worked wonders on me. Its overpriced cramped living spaces have afforded me the privilege of aggressively implementing a minimalist Zen lifestyle. Thank you, Japan.

And life simplification is like a breath of fresh air inhaled into lungs you never knew you had.
I'm writing this not to serve as any professorial lecture or authoritative "how to," but merely as a list of things that have worked for me thus far. I still am, after all, a consumerist American living in consumerist Japan--an American boy that struggles constantly with reducing the amount of crap he owns.
