Please! NTT is a carrier and Nokia a phone maker. Don't compare oranges and apples. Nokia had his chances, their phones were included in collections from Docomo and Vodafone and then by Softbank (see ? their phones were in 2 of 3 japanese carriers catalogs) but they were just not attractives, they were just hugly and with limited technology. Consumers just did not buy them, that's all. They did not like them. If consumers don't buy them don't blame the carrier or the market or the consumers. If a european TV maker tries to sell its TV's sets in Japan but decide to pull out from japanese market will you blame "govt controlled" NHK or the japanese TV channels for their poor programs ?

Nokia, maker of ugly phones to pull out of Japanese market
I still can't believe they tried to sell those ugly foreign phones here. Big, ugly, and a horrible LCD screen, even some TV remote controller have better LCD screen. Even japanese kids phones have more fonctions than the high-end model from Nokia
@taiko666
They may have that technology but we all know where they spied it....come on J-Phone was the first company who sold cellphone with camera and Nokia was still making non-colored LCD screen....only displaying phone number.

After the whole planet have seen it, Japan will see this movie on Jan 24 2009 ! After Turkey, after Peru, after Nigeria, after Kenya, after Equador all those countries and many others get the film on november 2008 but Japan will see it on Jan 24 2009 and it's a Sony film ! I really don't understand why we get movies at the cinema when the whole world have already seen them and are already getting the DVD or the Blu-Ray Disc.....

LOL ! We in Japan have also watched Michael Moore documentary called "Sicko" and we saw how "wonderful" is US health care with the HMO and american citizens crossing US-Canada border to get treatment in Canada...thank you tkoind2 for this great joke !
Japanese hospitals are maybe in crisis but at least you can get a treatment for a cheap price. They are certainly not perfect but still japanese hospitals are working last time I used them (1 month ago).

"because of it" we do not have rail crashes like those abroad and particularly in UK, "because of it" we have an efficient rail network, "because of it" we have regularly brand new rail profile, "because of it" we have a better rail network than the british one. But again, you always need something to complain about... Is there any engineer who can explain us how to change rail profile whitout having to stop trains ?

Do you mean innocent like Tsutomu Miyazaki the otaku who killed little girls in Saitama or innocent like the guy who stabbed 7 people to death in Akihabara ? What is your definition of innocence ?
The country has no money to feed and shelter useless people for free...

I am pretty sure many japanese nationals living and sleeping in internet cafes with only part time jobs or living with daily jobs would really enjoy your comments about "discrimination and racism"....

Congratulations to them!
More than 6 months to reach japanese shores ! They had enough time to finish "Wall-E 2" and "Wall-E 3" before the first one is released in Japan.... Never understood why it takes so long to see some movies released here.

Actually some foreign banks are willing to be hunted no need to look for them, some of them asked japanese banks for help and want to sell some of their own shares. Ironic isn't it ? especially for those who spent hours on this board talking about dying and indebted japanese mega banks....

Four More Years! Four More Years! Four More Years! Four More Years!
As I wish the worst for the US I fully support John McCain. For more lobbies destroying the social system, more lobbies asking for new wars, for more powerful corporations !
Four More Years! Four More Years! Four More Years! Four More Years!

What is really funny or strange is that people on this board do not see this kind of detail. Surely it must be a strange behavior in western countries.

Everytime a new cabinet is showed, it is the same comments. Lamenting about age, style, clothes, height, etc. My question is just: What, exactly, were you expecting ?
