They'll have a hard time gaining market share. There are already three big operators in Japan who eat up the market (Softbank, AU and Docomo).

Moreover, Nokia phones don't cater to the needs of Japanese consumers. mobile phones made by brands such as Sharp, Toshiba and the likes appeal much more to Japanese consumers.

So unless Nokia launches a completely new, adapted lineup of mobile phones as well as service plans that are competitive, I don't see them getting far with this.

I just read a note on todays newspaper that nokia definitively will be out of the business from Japan, thay cannot offer phones like the japs want.....
