+ Japan Hates iPhones
I thought nobody would hate the iPhone, but apparently Japan does! That's weird. I just did a post saying that Japan was giving out free iPhone. (Heh, maybe to get rid of it..?)
Anyway, here are the reasons why Japan hates the iPhone:
1) The high cost per month.
2) Lack of features. 'Japanese handset users are extremely into video and photos — and the iPhone has neither a video camera nor multimedia text messaging.'
3) The camera sucks compared to what Japanese people are used to.
4) Sucky design compared to what Japanese are accustomed to. According to the article, “carrying around an iPhone in Japan could make you look pretty lame.” :O
5) It’s not of Japanese origin. Motorola and Nokia haven’t been able to sell phones in Japan either.
Now the Panasonic P905i is a phone Japanese people would buy. Check out this video:

This phone is pretty cool--and the screen can flip! It was last years model and -- guess what -- they say that this is a typical phone in Japan. :O That is soo awesome. I wish I lived in Japan. Then again, maybe not.
