Japan is also iPhone free (and will be until such time as there is a 3G
iPHone). Apple's negotiations with both SoftBank and DoCoMo have gone
nowhere. Japan is the home of keitais that do much more than iPhone.
Apple can not understand that iPhone would be a low-end product in Japan.

Meanwhile, Verizon users in the US have to settle for much better voice
quality and network availability than iPhone users. And much faster data
rates. And tethering. And full Bluetooth on the newer phones.

None of which is important to a finger-in-nose nerd who thinks that if he
waves his iPhone around enough he'll eventually get laid.
