An interesting article:
The company hopes that foreign-made handsets for
3G services will play a key role in its image-improvement
strategy. Because Vodafone has adopted the global-use
specifications for 3G handsets, the company will be able
to add the handsets from Nokia Corp, Motorola Inc and
Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd to its product line in
Japan without making any modifications. Currently,
these three major handset manufacturers are
selling very few handsets in Japan.
