===== General Information =====
SoftBank phones are much more varied than [[phones:docomo|Docomo phones]]. Unlike Docomo, it appears that SoftBank allowed manufacturers to use whatever firmware and repair methods they wanted. This creates a situation where each manufacturer needs a different tool. On the other hand, some of the tools used for international versions of these phones are cross-compatible with their Japanese counterparts.

  * [[phones:softbank:casio|Casio (CA)]]: Works the same as the [[phones:docomo:casio|Docomo]] versions.
