26 year-old Taro Tanaka was recently assaulted in Kunitachi, a western Tokyo suburb, stripped of a chrome-finished cigarette case that the three attackers mistook for the iPhone, which hasn't even been released yet (besides to a select few). A cancer stick-less Tanaka wasn't really impressed with the iPhone anyway. He's not bound to a crappy contract, he's saving some major ca$h moneys, and he likes his smart phone and iRiver anyway. It's better if you read the quote yourself:
"If they're that desperate they could have had my iRiver player instead - I really want a smoke now. Besides, my real phone has 3.6Mbps HSDPA; an IC-chip that works as a train ticket, bus ticket, e-cash, e-credit and can open doors; a 5-megapixel camera with optical zoom and auto-focus; real songs as ringtones; a dictionary; face recognition; a barcode reader and ringtones that make my girlfriend's tits bigger. Oh, and not only did it cost me nothing, I'm not stuck with a two-year contract either."
