Docomo has had Short Mail, which seems the equivalant (50 char message
sent to anothe phone number, and i-Mode service not required for it) for
several years now, so "never" is not true except in the strictest sense.
Maybe you mean that it wasn't available before i-Mode came out? Though I
can't imagine why they would add Short Mail at the time or after i-Mode
became available.

Funny, if J-Phone and KDDI had the market for phone-to-phone messaging
all wrapped up, why did Docomo decimate that when they introduced
e-mail?
