Three days back, I told you about Nokia looking for the MVNO route to penetrate the Japanese high-end mobile phone market by offering its premium phones like the Vertu and Ferrari Edition phones. Wireless News has reported that, Nokia has officially announced that the company is pulling out from Japan and will only offer its high end Vertu and Ferrari branded phones in the Japanese market. So the MVNO dream is still there. If you see Nokia is actaully not completely pulling out, it will jst offer premium phones, which do have some good market in Japan.

@Tom - Rather than being big, the Japanese market is very competitive for Nokia and is dominated by Local giants like NTT Docomo, NEC, KDDI, etc...
