Japanese to get HTC goodies thanks to NTT

As if the Japanese didn't have enough good swag already, they'll now be getting dual-model WCDMA and GSM/GPRS Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones from HTC as well. The agreement with NTT DoCoMo means that Japan should start seeing these 3G FOMA phones starting in the second half of the year. No word yet on whether these models will be based on existing reference designs like the Apache,
Wizard, and Universal, or whether HTC will whip up something new for a country that always demands to be ahead of the curve.
