I'm surprised.

Last I heard, the Iphone was a massive flop in Japan and they had to practically give it away.

iPhone flopped in Japan Because the iPhone 1st gen and iPhone 3G were slow anbd low on horsepower. The 3GS can hang with (not trump) the finest of smartphones in terms of processing power.
