Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
this definately echos with this NY Times article that vodafone's Japanese unit hasn't been doing well compare to au-KDDI or DoCoMo, or even the newer PHS carrier Wilcom. Artcile suggested that it's due to bad strategy of a global coproration that it failed to recognize the importance of the local mobile culture. Anyone interested in the article can be found here.
