A survey by iSHARE showed that 91% of Japanese cell phone users do not plan to pick up the 3G iPhone when it arrives at the Land of the Rising Sun. Ever wonder why? I believe the fact that Japanese handsets are already way more advanced (1–SEG TV, waterproff, Felica payments, E-wallet) than what the 3G iPhone can offer is one of the main causes, but it could be due to the fact that they are also more comfortable with what they've been using all this while. For our readers in Japan, do the results of this survey accurately reflect the overall feeling on the ground?
