I have the newest BB Bold 9700 and running on v 5.0.1. I really want to type in Japanese, but there is no Japanese input selection in the application. I have tried EVERYTHING on the web but all of no use--the Japanese just does not show up!
Please help me!!!!

Does not exist. The East Asian Device OS from AT&T only supports text rendering of Japanese.

Romaji input is present in the Bold 9000 East Asian OS but has not been carried forward to the 9700.

Configure support for Unicode languages
You can make sure that the messaging application can display the Unicode messages that the BlackBerry® device sends by
configuring the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server to support Unicode languages (for example, Japanese, Korean, or Simplified
Chinese).
1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, on the taskbar, click Start > Run.
2. Type regedit.
3. Click OK.
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Agents.
5. If the MAPIEncoding registry key exists, perform one of the following actions:
• Delete the key.
• Change the value of the key to 1.
6. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Setup.
7. Verify that the ConfigKeystoreCountry registry key is set to one of the following values, depending on your organization's
environment:
• CN for Simplified Chinese
• JP for Japanese
• KR for Korean
8. In the Windows® Services, restart the BlackBerry Dispatcher.

Some of the leaked "beta" builds for the 9700 have Japanese input. You could try and find one of those. Have a look on Crackberry.com
