Yeah, it’s not easy to understand Japan’s mobile market habit. Even the big boy like Nokia should give-up and decided to cease sales there, due to very tiny part amount of their market share. The only Finn company’s product that will stay in the Rising Sun country is the luxurious Vertu.


Japan is the fourth largest market in the world, after United States, China, and India. With over 109 million subscribers, that’s count 85% of total population, there is little room to grow for “outsider” like Nokia.

    “Japan is the fourth largest market in the world, after United States, China, and India.” – I think you’ve forgot the BRAZILIAN market with its 144.795.618 (one hundred and forty four milion seven hundred ninety five thousand and six hundred and eighteen) mobile phones subscribers.
