The browser only works on Symbian 3 or higher so the 702NK (6630) and
soon to be released 702NK II (6680) will not be able to run it.
Docomo is releasing a Nokia mobile soon but I suspect it will also be
a 6680. The new batch of Nokia's N series mobiles will run it fine.

There will still be a challenge of delivering content in context, but
these moves should make mobile development easier once browsers with
these capabilities are widely adopted. AJAX support is particularly
exciting.
For Japan, I don't see much change while Docomo drags its heals on
browser capabilities and standards support.

The Safari on 10.4.3 passes Acid 2 but Nokia may not use this Web Kit
version.
