Can those features be added as applications or do they require hardware support.Thats basically it IMO. No OneSeg, no Suica/Keitai does it in for some... we'll see it probably can sell to those who don't need it in thier phone...... but there are lots of region specific features.... lots of things like "smilies" (Japanese users have literally hundreds of facial expressions using characters and images), language prediction.... we'll see how softbank can customize things for Japan..... too bad they couldn't negotiate a felica chip in that contract......
The TV stuff requires hardware, obviously...
