Cry if you’re not in Japan – DoCoMo introduces new FOMA 704i Series phones

Those lucky Japanese… It’s like they don’t have enough good lookin’, feature rich phones already. Now, just like KDDI and Softbank, NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM) announced a bunch of new phones — eight to be more precise. What makes me happy is seeing half of them (D703i, F704i, SH704i, SO704i) running MOAP on top Symbian OS.
