In light of Arjen’s recent considered advice to the networks about winning the number portability battle ahead, it’s timely that KDDI fired the first dozen shots yesterday by launching a slew of new handsets in Japan.

The phones are generally pretty uninspiring, so we won’t bore you with the details. There’s some improved music playback developed with Yamaha and a news-ticker service similar to DoCoMo’s i-channel as well as various tweaks to the online services and TV offerings but that’s about it. You can see the lineup at the links below.
