Most phones in the US weren't connected to a computer either. There were connection kits, but they tended to cost $60 or more. I saw one where you buy the cable for $50 and the software for $50. For a phone that costed me all of about $50.
I think you can use the iPhone without ever connecting it to a computer, but you'll still need a computer to update the OS.
I'm sure there are lots of nuances to the Japanese market. As far as I understand, the Japanese market is considered to be a test market for several of the Japanese companies. They release early, release often, lots of variations to see what takes hold and what features are most desirable.
Yup. But you need a com to register your iPhone and that's the 1st thing we all do!
