Talk:Japanese mobile phone culture

message: Apart from the section "Teenagers and keitai", almost all of this article could apply to anywhere in the industrialised world and not just Japan.--Joe 1987 01:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delete or edit or something 

message: Was this page written by someone that feels so in love with Japa culture that he feels the need to use japanese words instead of standard English words? I'm talking about calling mobile phones keitai all through this. In Britain a lot of people call their mobile phones "moblies", I don't see the page on UK networks full of "moblies". It doesn't matter I guess, not many people will actually look at this page JayKeaton 15:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: An extremely irritating part of cell phone culture that I've noticed, not just in Japan, but everywhere, is an increasingly large number of people who aren't actually using their cell phones, and just holding them up to their ear, so that people will either think that they're busy, or that they have lots of friends.  It is a sad and pathetic facet of cell phone culture, but a very important part of it too, I think.

thread_title:  Another Facet 

message: Can you really buy them on credit in Japan?  I have to say I'm genuinely impressed!  --WayneMokane 01:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jet planes? 

message: Is it just in Japan that many children own and use cell phones? NTT DoCoMo is offering "Kodomo Keitai" (lit. Children Cellphone) since 2006 or something (with special features including security and GPS system), while I see no providers in Canada offering their service to children. Maybe that is just in Canada.. do Europe or United States offer services to young people? By the way, I've added percentages of child use (as of May 2008) in the introduction part. I hope to see some reply.. I know it's an unpopular article, with probably no one watching. --staka (T ・C) 15:47, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Child use

message: Would it be possible to add more technical information, say whether they are mostly Windows Mobile/Symbian/Something else and maybe talk about how many Japanese use iPhone etc. as they seem to be fairly impressed by it IME. Eraserhead1 (talk) 12:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Add more technical information

message: The reference added in Japanese leads to a "File Not Found" page. I'm new to editing wikipedia, so I'm not entirely sure how to change this. I'm trying to find the true link to the page cited, if it still exists. Also, I'm currently writing a paper on this topic and I'm hoping to add a lot more English language citations. --Akhety (talk) 18:43, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Japanese reference 

message: "Japan is leading in mobile phone technology. Japan's cell phone always have cool features before we found it. Most cellular phones sold in the last three years have integrated cameras; some more up to date models have high quality digital cameras. Many of the cameras are capable of taking both still and video images. Images can usually be sent to other mobile phones and embedded in messages."
Sources? Also, "before we found it?"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.172.60.74 (talk) 10:24, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much opinion; biased, non-objective nor fact based wording 

message: I think this article needs to be updated mostly to put it in the past tense. In the pre-iPhone/smartphone era Japan was quite ahead of the rest of the world in terms of mobile phone features and usage, but these days smartphones do pretty much everything the best pre-smartphone keitai did and more. So now in Japan we use iPhone and Android like everybody else.
I'd re-write the article myself, but I'm not sure if that wouldn't be too dramatic a change that people wouldn't object to.
