in New Softbank Prices for iPhone 3G Japan on iPhone App Reviews
Well, while Steve Jobs may want to sell more phones, Softbank is doing its best to limit sales and turn off its loyal customer base. As a Softbank user of 6 years, I have been turned down in 2 different stores in my attempt to change my Nokia to an i-phone. The first shop in Akasaka, Tokyo told me their stock of iPhone for current subscribers was out but I could have one immediately if I took out a new subscription (i.e. pay more for it - can't use my loyalty points to offset the handset price). The second shop - Tamachi, Tokyo was happy at first to sell me a phone but then told me I would have to upgrade my service plan or the shop would refuse to sell me an iPhone - each store manager can decide his policy I was told. Sharp practice.

Does Mr. Son know and encourage shop maangers to discriminate like this?
