running a C760 in Europe

Hi folks,
I was lurking around the forum for a while, but I live in Italy and the 
Z sold by exporters was a little to expensive to me. But now I'm in 
Japan, and I would like to take the chance and get a C760.
Thus I'm going to ask you experienced guys some questions:

- does anyone know any good Z seller in Ishikawa prefecture or Kyoto?

- have you experienced any problem in using C760 in Europe? Should 
I buy a transformer? (In Italy and most of Europe AC is 220V / 50Hz)

- I can't read any Japanese character: how hard is getting the 
Z in English? (I mean: I've read the instructions on the web and 
they say that you have to install a term application from the CD. 
A Japanese CD, I suppose!). Moreover, as far as I understand, all 
instructions assume one has a CF or SD memory expansion: is it possible
to do the conversion without any of them, or should I buy a memory card
(and a PCMCIA adapter)? What about flashing new roms without CF/SD?

- Has anyone done the same (Buying Z in Japan and using it in Europe)? 
Please tell me your experience.


Many thanks
