+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.
+Information on specific manufacturers:
+  * [[phones:softbank:casio|Casio (CA)]]: Works the same as the [[phones:docomo:casio|Docomo]] versions.
+  * [[phones:softbank:motorola|Motorola (MO)]]: Works like other Motorola phones released internationally.
+  * [[phones:softbank:nec|NEC (N)]]: Mostly work like the [[phones:docomo:nec|Docomo]] versions, but a few phone models used a Sony CPU, as well as a completely unique proprietary connector.
+  * [[phones:softbank:nokia:Nokia (NK)]]: Works like other Nokia phones released internationally.
+  * [[phones:softbank:panasonic|Panasonic (P)]]: About half of these phone work like the [[phones:docomo:panasonic|Docomo]] versions. The other half run on the APOXI operating system, which was used in Panasonic's international phone releases such as the VS3.
+  * [[phones:softbank:sanyo|Sanyo (SA)]]: Mostly work the same as the [[phone:kddi:au by KDDI]] counterparts.
