Kyocera's mistake was sticking the low-end. Unlike for America, however, they made it all in-house, so their stuff was much less crappy than was expected of a low-end phone.
However, with people after nice phones like the N95 and various imported Japanese phones (DoCoMo's 905i series is the latest to have been unlocked) Kyocera stuck to making low-end bricks from old Japanese tu-ka models. If they tried selling any of the phones they made for AU in the Chinese market they wouldn't have lost so much.
