Yup. Go to Japan and there are entire sections of electronics stores dedicated to Huawei phones.

What about the Japanese manufacturers, you might ask? Well apparently there's so much Sony Xperia smartphone stock that NTT DOCOMO is selling them for just 10 yen each with the purchase of a new contract.

I'd say the only reason we don't see Huawei in English-West is because we were more preemptive in kicking them out of our markets.

I've liked Xperia and wanted to buy them in the US for years. My last Android phone was an Xperia ion. The lack of software and carrier support and the fact that they have you send stuff to the same S Texas based service center that does Playstations doesn't bode well.
