Windows 10 and Japan

[Daniel Ratcliffe]

Hey guys,

I'm looking on emigrating to Japan next year, and am obviously after a Windows 10 phone as my next phone. But I'm wondering if they're going to launch any Windows 10 phones within Japan. They don't necessarily need to be Lumia phones (I'm aware Japan are very patriotic of their Japanese companies), but I need some form of Windows 10 phone to use over there. I'm just wondering if there's any speculation about the phones over there. Importing phones will be used as a last resort.

Thanks
Dan

I don't expect them to do so at all.

They did this with the Fujitsu IS12T, and it wasn't a success. Then again, smaller Windows 8 tablets have made lots of headway thanks to a certain flash game, so who knows?

Yeah that's kinda the downfall I was worried about, because the Fujitsu fell flat on its face (with Windows Phone 7). But since I'm looking to live there for several years, maybe permanently, having to import my phones isn't something I want. And I'm not going to a different platform either.
