DoCoMo Adding GSM to New Handsets
Japanese mobile carrier NTT DoCoMo will enable all future handsets to be GSM compatible, according to a report in the Daily Yomimuri. The paper says DoCoMo has set a timeline of making the change over the next two years. Currently only some KDDI and Vodafone (soon to be Softbank) handsets can be used on GSM networks outside of Japan. However, this MOVE doesn't mean international GSM handsets will be able to operate in Japan, currently one of the few places GSM phones don't work. DoCoMo's current FOMA handsets can only be used outside Japan in limited locations with compatible networks. This move to add GSM will mean more business for Motorola, Nokia and other manufacturers that build products for GSM markets.
