Japanese won't mine to carry a 24mm thick mobile phone - as all things they needed are built-in
but how many 24mm thick handset could sold internationally?

Do you remember Sonyericsson W900i?
it is actually done by Japan design team, and I read an interview from them saying that full function but giant size mobile won't be marketable internationally - so afterward they developed w880i.]]>Mar 9th 2008 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/
The W900i was amazingly popular where I lived; the W880i not so much. Maybe not global, but Asia-wide might be OK.

The best place to start off would be Hong Kong. They have a carrier with i-mode (3), they have a digital TV standard (not 1seg, the SO905iCS doesn't have TV anyway), and their subway pass/electronic money system uses Felica. ]]>Mar 9th 2008 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Unlike Japan, it lacks contents, and lacks users...
There are no mobile Digital boardcast here, too. (but SHARP may have 920SH to release in HK with Digital TV, rumored)
Felica...yes. HK's system is using Sony's Felica, but until now there are no integration with mobile phones...and seems no provider is going to do it first...(Japan's Felica could be control and view in mobile...)
I personally have a SO905iCS too. The camera function much much better than SE's worldwide models..and I also wonder why worldwide models do not have FWVGA screen?!?!]]>Mar 10th 2008 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 9th 2008 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 9th 2008 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 9th 2008 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 9th 2008 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 10th 2008 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 9th 2008 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/09/sony-ericsson-withdrawing-from-ntt-docomo-sort-of/Mar 9th 2008 11:13PM
