// Hi,
//
//
// i think i-mode may have had a better start in europe if it was
// concentrated on usability rather than multimedia. A slim stylish
// folding phone with just a bright monochrome screen but
// long battery
// life may attract us germans more than that mostrous "multimedia
// terminal" n21i.
//
// A b/w screen would help to make clear that i-mode is not a weak
// UMTS-preview but mainly a useful service.
//
// However, while usefulness is a good sales argument and everyone
// wants "business features", melody download is the killer
// app (jamba
// and yamaha are the most popular i-mode sites in germany). So MA-2
// sound (or even MA-3, why not use the latest technology?) should be
// on board but not be advertised as a key feature.
//
//
// Another reason for the low subscription rates may be that stupid
// elephant. It's embarrassing.
//
//
// Cheers
//
// Oliver
