Thats a ridiculously high number, considering those are 30 million smartphones not just regular mainstream mobile phones.
This goes totally against some speculations last year that Symbian market share in Japan may start to reduce because NTT DoCoMo had started to show some interest in other mobile phone OSs as well. But looks like NTT DoCoMo is way too comfortable with Symbian to show any real interest in any other smartphone OS, due to "The robustness, security and ease of customisation of Symbian OS...".
Certainly cant be good news for other smartphone OSs like Windows Mobile that are still trying to catch up(far from being a real competitor judging from the market share graph below), not because Japan is such a big market for smartphones, but it is has long been the most advanced market for mobile phones by far. Whats interesting to see is Linux has had a much bigger market share than Windows Mobile.
