Rumors are a-flying that Steve met with NTT DoCoMo’s president, Masao Nakamura, about launching the iPhone in Japan. Although I was underwhelmed by Japan’s keitai offerings, I’m sure the iPhone will look like a charming anachronism to the average Tokyo-ite. He’s also talking to Softbank Corp., but I’d say it’s DoCoMo FTW in this one.
Apple Meets With DoCoMo, Softbank On Launching iPhone in Japan [WSJ]
Sweet. I am going to get one the second it is released here!
Docomo stock up 2.8% as of 9:57am on the back of this news…
Japanese people will love the Iphone. Japanese phones are clunky and packed with rudimentary versios of features no one needs or wants. Top that off with massive limitations on using the phone in any way other than exactly how the provider wants you to.
and since no GSM in Japan iPhone over here will be 3G, I hope they add electronic cards payment as well as better camera to the 3G version
i hope docomo will price it reasonably so that consumers can afford it…
