J-Phone 3G launch lacks handsets
December 27, 2002
A lack of 3G handsets has hit the launch of the Vodafone group
Japanese unit J-Phone. It was reported that only 150 handsets were
available on the launch day last Friday and another 800 handsets
were shipped on Tuesday.
It was confirmed that only 31 of the 1929 retail stores nationwide
had 3G handsets to sell on launch. Retailers are facing confusion
over the situation, as they haven't any idea on when the handsets
will arrive.
Only handsets supplied by NEC were available during the launch.
Additional handsets would be shipped before the end of the year
but may not reach the shelves before the New Year. Two other expected
suppliers, Sanyo and Nokia, will most probably release their handsets
in the New Year.
J-Phone is not troubled with the problem and expected a slow start
to its service when they announced its 3G plans early this month.
The operator is targeting Japanese overseas travellers with its
roaming service and dual mode WCDMA/GSM handsets. Users would then
be able to use their phones in selected countries with GSM mobile
networks.
