Today Japanese telecommunications giant SoftBank unveiled their cell phone line-up for winter 2008. Starting this month, the company will roll out a total of 14 new handsets in Japan.
And since a number of Japanese phone makers announced plans to drastically expand internationalization, it’s not unthinkable to see one or the other of the Japanese models in the US or Europe sometime soon.
