The rule I was told (and wiser heads can correct me if I'm wrong), is that you'll be OK in Japan with a 3G GSM handset.

Nippon and Korea are picky on the supported handsets. A random 3G handset doesn't necessarily guarantee a trouble-free roaming experience. We got enough horror stories to publish a book.
Your 9700 is probably one of the best current solutions. Stick with it.
