I would have thought there would be more but ..meh.
the Asahi Shimbun reports only 200 Japanese fans of the iphone sweated it out on the streets of Omotesando district yesterday (Friday 26th June) outside the phone store Softbank to get their brand spanking new 3G iphone.

The crowd left happy with their 3 megapixel cameras, new video recording functions and net browsing speed at twice the speed of the last version.

Then they all headed over to geek district Akihabara to claim the perfect anime phone mascots..

The Asahi Shimbun says that whizzbang multimedia phone sales are up by 68% from last year. Recession? What recession?
