I'd suggest that 91% of Esato members would like phones like the Japanese have!

Well, if you consider that in Q1 of this year, Apple's global mobile phone market share was 0.6%, then Apple are doing extremely well in Japan to have 9% very interested and at least 4.5% claiming they will definitely buy one.
If the whole world was the same as Japan, then Apple's market share could rival or even overtake that of Sony Ericsson's (7.5%). And this is with just a single handset in Apple's portfolio, while Sony Ericsson aims to release 45 phones per year.
I think this news is being taken completely wrong. Apple are doing extremely well if these figures are accurate. I'd also expect that with the new 3G iPhone, Apple's market share worldwide may rise to maybe 3%... Imagine what they could do with more models in their line-up!

What I would like is 100Mbps internet like they have
@M-O
Exactly right! Nine percent would be a major success for any manufacturer with only one phone in thier portfolio.

that's quite bad, it's 91% who explicitly expressed their dislike to iPhones
and you assume all the 1-91% will buy it?
come on
dream on. there's no support for all the native services in japan, no support for QR code, which u can't really survive if ur a biz user (for name cards, for boarding passes, coupons and lining up at theme parks), no support for all the appli written for other phones, no popular japanese text predictive system (e.g. shoin), no felica electronic money (very very important), no IRSS, no one-seg tunar, no video recording, no support for chaku-uta, all songs and ringtones downloaded previously would become obsolete on the iphone, no html-MMS (decomeru)
of course 91% of the people would leave it at home even if they bought it
the remaining 9% will be shocked at the shop to realize there's so much lack to the phone, or they'll carry 2 phones eventually
