How much do data and voice cell phone plans cost in Japan, where cellular service is ubiquitous?

So I hear that just about everybody in Japan has a kick-ass cell phone with awesome data service. Since I can’t read Japanese, I was just wondering what a standard cell phone plan with unlimited data and a reasonable of amount minutes costs over there?

Mostly I am asking because I want to see if us USA consumers are being hoodwinked by the telecom companies, or if they charge a reasonable fee. Since they are obviously a cartel (how about them all raising SMS fees in unison) the only real price comparison can be done by looking at foreign companies.
