Nokia is the one of major mobile phone vendor across the globe. BUT... not in Japan. The huge name like Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and even Casio just don't let Nokia go "big" in this country.
Some of you may have heard the word "Symbian" which is a name of mobile phone operating system (e.g. Windows XP for PC or Mac OS X for Mac) designed exclusively for Nokia. Technically, the term S60 is derived from Symbian 60 or Nokia Series 60 is unknown but the first one sounds more official.
For the mobile user, it may be a bit WOW for them since Nokia and their stuff have already been on the map. I guess that the poor tasks are loaded on the developers since they will surely have a hard time with programming unusual C++ on the platform and besides, their program will not be working on Motorola or Blackberry.
In Japan, it is hard to find a Symbian's developer since Nokia only available for SoftBank subscriber (other major mobile service provider are NTT DoCoMo and KDDI au). Next I will write about these 3 mobile service provider and their "rival" campaign toward others.
