Well, since every phone sold in Japan has supported emoji for many years, the fact that the iPhone doesn't support it is a big turn-off for many. It also shows Apple's lack of interest in Japan, and many Japanese people found that kind of insulting (if Apple had done their homework they would've realized how important emoji for Japanese people was and would've included it from the beginning) ...Sorry to get your panties all in a bind... but yeah, I still believe that it's lame to state that a phone is failing because of missing little cartoony characters. I was unaware that 98% of Japanese iPhone sales were due to 12 year olds' texting needs.
On will you just shut up..
Go buy another phone, then I mean, you bought the phone with the expectation that these things would be added, what sort of reasoning is that, some people..No, I'm not a programmer and neither are 99.9% of the users. I bought the iPhone 2G & then 3G with expectations that relevant useful applications would be built.
It's become a phone for gamers and toys. It is not by any means close to a Business phone that Apple claims it to be now.
The damn email doesn't even have spell check and lacks the most fundamental features of a dumb phone.
Actions like this are a large reason the stock is near a 52 week low.
Enjoy your cute little icons and watch the competition pass Apple.
52 week stock low 94.65 Friday's close $97.07. Maybe the Japanese market sales are bad because they are used to a more sophisticated smart phone market than we in the US are.
So some phones are missing features that the iphone, what is your bloody point..
Yes we'll be happy if you go back to that brick, one of your complaints is idiotic I won't even bother..
FINALLY. I'm also glad Apple's iPhone development isn't being overseen by some of the people on the boards here, who have never set foot outside their home country and can't wrap their little heads around the idea that other markets have different needs.

Which is the exactly the whole point dude. They were not designed to help even 100% of US users, never mind your 99%.
I hope Apple just restricts these emoji to the Japanese iPhones as they were soley designed for. Then you will probably hear more moaning from the same people screaming:
Yo, Apple! Wheres my emoji!!
