By reading the last sale data of global handsets sales is
clear that Korea is performing much better than Japan
in selling handsets outside its local market:

Why japanese manufactures have such a poor strategy that after so
many years their only significant presence in the european market
is due to the partnership with Ericsson?
I wonder if the midlle-term with global standards becaming more
important
global innovation will be driven not by Japanese manufacturers but by
Koreans.
The recently launched european i-mode phone are quiet dissapointing,
one generation behind what the market (Korea) is offering.
