Yomiuri Shimbun (a newspaper) says that Nokia is about to start a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service and will use an infrastructure leased from NTT DoCoMo in February next year.

But the report says that the MVNO is not going to compete with existing operators in Japan directly and it will leverage Nokia’s Vertu brand to target the extreme high end of the market.

This new venture will most probably be irrelevant to ordinary Japanese phone users, as the Vertu handsets will be available with the price tag of ¥5 million (£35,000) each.

However, Nokia is quite hopeful that the new move will increase Nokia’s brand awareness in Japan where the Finns is not a significant phone manufacturer. In the rest of the world, it sold 437 million phones during the last year.

The company is trying to provide everyone an equal opportunity by limiting the amount of phone purchase for every person to about two only as compared to the previous limit of five units per person. The move might be too late though as there are about more than a million units already sold since its launch from June. Only time will tell how much has been accumulated by unscrupulous re-sellers.

Another issue for this new –must-have item for urbanized shoppers is the exclusive terms of iPhone to use AT&T network solely. Naturally, this would cause a lot of inconvenience for the rest of the public that are loyal to their current network providers.
A string of hackers that offer to unlock the devices for use to other networks were the natural consequences of this corporate decision on exclusivity.

The company naturally tried to prevent this from happening since it is damaging to their business. Unfortunately, their efforts of using updates that covers up the software’s weakness for hacker’s intrusion were met by the public with equally stolid reactions sparking a couple of lawsuits in the process.
