?Japan's DoCoMo has dropped hints that it is close to securing a deal to sell Apple's iPhone, as the last major network in the country not to do so.
Chief Financial Officer Kazuto Tsubouchi said there are compelling reasons for Apple and his company to reach an agreement, according to an interview published in SankeiBiz. and cited by Bloomberg News.
A deal still hasn't been struck between the two companies though, and they are still said to be haggling over the details.
NTT DoCoMo has seen its growth slow as its smaller rivals gained customers keen to have Apple's smartphone, but now that Android is in the ascendant, there is decreasing need for DoCoMo to bow to Apple's famously tough terms for selling its handsets.
The news could be bad for Sony though, as it was offered more handset sales by DoCoMo which wanted to shore up its smartphone range.
"To win against the iPhone, we have to offer a model which is generally easy to use," Tsubouchi said earlier this month. "Sony's brand and Xperia's image are just as good as the iPhone."
