That may be true, but those are for roaming. So the point is that the iPhone that Softbank will be selling will absolutely HAVE to have UMTS, otherwise it just wouldn't work over there.
Yeah and only the very latest generation have GSM Roaming capabilities - I have a Softbank from 2007 that's UMTS only (still works perfectly fine here in Europe though).
