Blackberrys in Japan Too
Research in Motion announced on June 22nd that they have agreed to enter into their largest international partnership yet by pairing up with Japan's NTT DoCoMo to offer Blackberry service in Japan. Research in Motion has announced new distribution deals in China, Japan, and Taiwan over the past few months. The article linked to below mentions that initially there may not be Japanese text input ability. That to me sounds like it could be a deal breaker for Japanese businesses and consumers. I imagine RIM will do their best to sort out the input issue before the devices are brought to market.
