Nokia gives up on Japan

So Nokia is giving up on the Japanese market. This supports my theory that we are not going to follow Japan’s example in the mobile phone usage. They have their own niche with super advanced features that are really supported by the network and content providers. No such thing exists in Europe nor in the US (nor anywhere else, maybe China in a couple of years, if they can manage the infrastructure required for such large numbers).

My fascination for Japan increases and someday I’ll get to live there only if for a short period of time.
