Japan’s NEC and Sharp plan to export their handsets to other countries. Both companies were already present on markets outside of the Land of the rising Sun, but have struggled to gain any significant marketshare.

According to a Reuters article, NEC hopes to export at least 1 million phones for an average price of 0. Sharp, on the other end, intends to release smartphones in Europe, and has a goal to sell a total of 4 million devices.
