   I got a rather special gift today from the Japanese team: the first phone shipping with Opera in Japan, which was also the first phone in Japan to ship with a full Internet browser.

   The Kyocere AH-K3001V.

   People were in line to buy the phone, with the line going far into the street. This was in 2004, so long before the iPhone was launched.

   The phone had a special Opera button and there were billboards on the local trains marketing the phone as the first phone to provide full Internet access.

   This is part of the special relationship we have with Japan and still have, but now with Vivaldi.
