Oh how rude! I'm no sheep!
The iphone doesn't have a few things most Jap phones do: the strap hole and the highly intricate menus combine with the no bluetooth, no infrared and no tv to make a comparatively deficient device. Despite the reputation, Japan isn't the technological civilisation par excellence: there isn't wi-fi in every shop and on every corner.
Most people here are using their mobiles to chat on email, and the keyboard on the iph isnt the easiest to use. Compared to phones in eu and oz, most j-mobiles are years ahead, and they have it by providing a maximum number of functions.
Personally, i dont need or want a million functions, strap hole or intricate menus, but a music player, msg device and bluetooth. The thing that really interests me about the iph are the apps! THAT is the functionality that is a lot more advanced than anything else.
The iphs approach with a simple menu is probably the worst mistake for this market closely followed by the lack of a strap hole. A little market research couldnt have hurt i guess.
