Well katakana and of course romanji shouldn't be too hard to input
on phones. I don't live in japan, but I'd imagine that you wouldn't use
kanji to write sms/chatting, am I right?
One of the easiest and first ideas that come to mind when
thinking about i-mode uses is chatrooms and to make that
impossible by difficult input wouldn't be too smart.
