I live in Tokyo and owned a Vodafone for a while. From my experience, Vodafone's problem has nothing to do with Japanese people preferring Japanese products. It has nothing to do with style. Terrible reception is the biggest problem with Vodafone. My Vodafone didn't work at home, at my work, or at my wife's work. Many people I have talked to have this same problem. Owning a Vodafone was the same as not having a phone. DoCoMo and AU have MUCH better reception.
