Japan Coming Along> Japan cdmaOne is proving attractive by: sometimesIcome 19802 of 19815 >> IDO Wins 78,000 Subscribers to Its New Cellular Phone Service - Nihon Keizai Shimbun, May 9 IDO has attracted some 78,000 subscribers to its new cellular phone service, cdmaOne, between the time it began on April 14th and the end of April. This figure is much higher than the 60,000 figure the corporation originally projected. Approximately half of the 78,000 are new customers, while the other half were already subscribed to IDO's regular cellular phone service and switched to the new service. Compared to the 19,700 new subscribers IDO won in March, the April figure shows that the new service is proving highly attractive.

The only problem is that Q isn't talking about ramping ThinP production very quickly, unless of course they're being intentionally misleading in order to dampen expectations. I wonder how people will react to the protruding ear piece on the new phone? This is a good example of form following function but often people just don't give a damn. All those Nokii are shaped like soapbars so that they feel nice in your pocket, although I do have a cousin who deliberately chose a QCP2700 over the Sony precisely because it cupped around his ear. Just cup your hand around your ear at a concert or on the street and check out how much this amplifies the sound. Time will tell I suppose. Is BAM really not going to sell the Nokia?
