      I live in Okinawa as well. For those of you that live in the states, I envy you. We don't get the ultimate bundle for a pre-order. We gotta settle for just a VR headset, lol. It's better than nothing, though. I got my hands on the S8 & S8+ last week at a DoCoMo shop. It felt great in the hands despite the fact that I hate curved displays.

        Good.

          Polius, 29 May 2017Galaxy S8 which will be branded as Diacomo instead of Samsu... moreActually it won't be branded as a carrier brand, it's simply Galaxy due to Japanese people slight stigma/rivalry to Korean products, hence, why no Samsung brand

          Thus, not called DoCoMo, au or Softbank (btw, I am in Okinawa now until 1st June)

            Galaxy S8 which will be branded as Diacomo instead of Samsung. Still, iphone is more popular in Japan regardless.

              Can't understand why Japanese wants to buy foreign junk for? Best quality electronics are made in Japan.

                    Umbrella, 29 May 2017I don't really care which phone is most popular in Japan. ... moreReason is simple, because most japanese has packed schedule and they didn't need such features packed device since they won't notice they feature even there(hence why is xperia had minimal ui) and they need reliability which iphone can provide so they don't have to waste time and money changing brand and experimenting with various brand, simply take what work

                      Japan is Xperia's homeland, so Idk how it went to the iPhone being the most popular in Japan.

Can you specify the exsact numbers of owners of S8 you knew that selling their S8 in your country? When you say "owners" that probably more than two right?
