You are right - except for some Vodafone Global Standard phones,
and TuKa-S phones which have no camera, all Japanese phones I know
of have QR code readers.
I found that the quality of the recognition differs a lot between
the phones, for example its much better on a P505iS than on the
SH900i, however I have not done a systematic study of this. I also
tested some AU phones, and found them to have the best readers -
on the PENCK for example the reader works without having to take a
picture - if the QR reader is on, it reads the QR code as soon as
the camera is pointed to it.
By the way we have a QR code report:
