Yes the 900i handsets are good, but the FOMA network penetration is not yet good enough. Many people (including myself) need to be accessible as much as possible for the job, and therefore at the moment it's more school children etc who buy FOMA rather than professionals who need much better connectivity.

They announced to introduce flat fee this summer.

miniSD has already succeeded in catching on. All DoCoMo phones except the lowest end have them.

I read the same type of report about the N900i....sold out across Japan on the first day of its debut.

clearly the japaense have gone grazy about the 900i series
the P900i was sold out at almost all shops across kansai in 24 hrs
why? swappable covers. dual camera. 1.28MP CCD AF camera + flash + mini SD slot + 2.4inch QVGA screen
W-CDMA + PDC
what do u think?
