about Japan u gotta kno that if more than 10 ppl will read it, they make a magazine for it ok??? seriously, check out even a basic bookstore so the name switch isnt really as huge as it appears~
what is huge is that since the iPhone has come out, I've seen precisely 5 on the streets (Tokyo) and my housemate has one, and all the Japanese ppl I saw with it were of the nerdy variety...not thats theres anythin wrong with being nerdy mind u...I'm sure they r selling, just not as huge as ppl might think, and as for being sold out, again some stores maybe...the first day hype is so gone~
In perspective, in Beijing for the games a couple of weeks back, saw more iPhones there than here in Tokyo and no Chinese carrier is offering up the phone so...
the minimum data price has also been lowered twice since the debut...from bout $72 to $24...probably the good folk ova at Softbank Marketing (or whereva) kno a thing of 2 that all of us don't ;-)
biggest fanboy out there, I'll cop a iPhone as soon as I'm back I'm sure, but in Japan its not going down like that. ~jus sayin
