Um... Japan does have GSM service... I am positive as I recently had guests in my house from japan. They brought their cell phones and I showed them how to make them work in the US.
As far as I know... Granted, making them work in the us meant dropping the 3g and switching to GSM service... But since the option was available in a japanese phone it would seem to indicate that they can use it. PLUS so called world phones or quad band phones include GSM service frequencies for other places and I am pretty sure one of those is Japan.
I could be wrong... But I don't think I am. It just might not use the 3G mode but only GSM and it might mean that the extra internet capability might not work.
Does EDGE fall back to gprs? Does 3G fall back to EDGE or GPRS if the phone doesn't support it? I think those are the right questions.

I just want to have a Linux mobile phone but maybe is not going to be release in Japan???
As Jason Elwell says, the Linux mobile phone is released today, so you can buy at the unsubsidised price. Unfortunately you won't be able to use it in Japan (or Korea) as it is GSM only.
I guess if you are realy keen, you could buy one as a Linux PDA, or to develop software, but otherwise, you will have to wait and hope that FIC produce a 3G model with W-CDMA support some time next year, that you will be able to use on the Softbank (formerly Vodaphone) network.
