I don't know the brand but it looks like a rectangle I believe the top part can swivel sideways not sure. But I've seen tons of that phone.

Maybe a Samsung ?

For the period between 2008.11 and 2009.2 - the cellphone sales ranking.

1 NTTドコモ F-01A (Fujitsu)
2 NTTドコモ N-02A (NEC)
3 KDDI(au) EXILIMケータイ W63CA (Casio)
4 NTTドコモ P-01A (Panasonic)
5 NTTドコモ SH-01A (Sharp)
6 NTTドコモ N-01A (NEC)
7 NTTドコモ FOMA P906i (Panasonic)
8 NTTドコモ FOMA P706iμ(ミュー)(Panasonic)
9 KDDI(au) AQUOSケータイ W64SH (Casio)
10 NTTドコモ FOMA N706i (NEC)

I believe that total market share is Panasonic in first, and NEC in second...

They`re certainly the market leaders here.

My phone is a Panasonic, and I really cannot imagine using a different brand.

Problem is as other posters have stated it doesn't work outside Japan.

It is interesting that you say this because DOCOMO is the company that invented what became the UMTS/WCDMA 3G standard. They were using the transmission technology several years ago while the rest of the world putzed around with GSM.

Are Pocket PCs popular in Japan?

Not at all. The Pocket PC / Smartphone market is pretty close to nil.

In the early days if you designed an app you wanted to sell on DoCoMo you had to ensure if would work on EVERY phone currently using their network, even the out of date ones.

Pick up a J phone on yahoo for as little as $10, but why??????????????
