Is the Samsung coming to Japan soon?

I have been watching the page from the Japan Windows Phone page and noticed a link to "Other devices." It has been updated on the 18th, the 19th and now on the 21st. Interestingly, it links to a device on SoftBank now for the X01SC, a Samsung Windows Mobile phone.
Could the Samsung be coming after the first of the year? Seems odd o be linking to the device, when there are direct links to Wn Mobile 6.5 devices from the navigation bar. More later???

Discouraged in Japan

Should I rename the site? Once I was generally encourage. "Windows Phone coming to Japan before year's end..." Well, yes, and no. We have one device...on the black sheep of carriers...a CDMA when all the big carriers, including mine are W-CDMA.
Well, I went to their "Special Event." I spoke with a rep there who said, "Maybe next year. Depends upon their portfolio."
My take is Microsoft is not pushing this. he stated their priority was to take the Fujitsu/Toshiba phone to other countries. So much for Windows Phone 7 in Japan.
