Far East Galapagos Island

Do you know Galapagos Island? An island located in the south pacific which is known as to breed a lot of creatures isolated from worldwide evolution. You may know that Japanese mobile phone culture is often used analogy to this curious island.
Fortunately Japan seems to have succeeded in leading the world in mobile network services of previous generation. As a matter of fact, by the first year of the new century, Japanese mobile phone users had been already given an infrastructure which provides them various services and contents through a matchbox size window, which had been realized by low load websites for a slower wireless network than today.
From the beginning of this century Japan has developed various progressive services like mobile FeliCa, which allows users charging electronic money or train fare to mobile phones via mobile network. However Japanese people enjoyed so much this unique environment that they got left behind the evolution of outside of this island located in the Far East while the design cost for Far East Galapagos spec mobile phones have risen up to almost more than double of global standard.
Soon comes the next serious problem.
Most creatures in Far East Galapagos Island seem to wish to enjoy traditional environment no matter how old-fashioned their mobile phone is although most of them want to catch up to the latest trend. This tendency might make Japanese mobile phone users avoid latest smartphones. Some of my friends, indeed, appear to be hesitant to buy smartphones because they want to enjoy traditional matchbox-size services.
That's why I'm planning to own both a smartphone and a traditional one in the meantime.
