Just visited Tokyo and observed the cell phone usage. On the street it seemed that 2-5% were on the phone. And everyone carried a cell phone. The phones were sold off pegboards from many small shops on the sidewalks. There were many ads on the subway for CDMAone. Sadly there were also very small signs stating the cell phones should not be used on the subways. This suggestion was of course followed by the Japanese. People might accept a call but would quickly end it. The phones were tiny. Maybe 30x100 mm and some were under 70gm. I will provide the exact dimensions and other specs tomorrow from the sales literature. The phone impact on the electronics stores was clear, Yodabashi camera dedicated much of the first floor to phones and accessories. There was even a kiosk with a plug to allow installing new ringing tones for the phone. The CDMAone phones were priced at 6800 yen and the other phones were priced at 1000 yen. (105 yen to the dollar) Easy to tell which is the premium unit.
