The exclusive carrier of 3G iPhone in Japan, Softbank, has already made ways on how to compete with its rivals namely KDDI and DoCoMo. As of the moment, the Softbank is taking a different strategy with the second-generation iPhone. They also said that they are expecting




that the 3G iPhone will lure away the high-paying consumers of DoCoMo as well as KDDI. According to the Masayoshi Son, the CEO of Softbank, there are already several users who said they are interested to buy the 3G iPhone because of the price. However, that is not only the main issue. Most of the consumers also said that they will buy the 3G iPhone because of the excellent features that no other mobile phone can give. Masayoshi Son also predicted that the iPhones will be a big hit in Japan even if there are some analysts who question it.

On the other hand, DoCoMo is still courting Apple Inc. so that they too can sell the smartphone in Japan.
