    Two options:

    -the news is wrong/old.

    -Or they introduced a budget retail model in Japan. (Previous TZ90 models were customer made)

    I think the latter.

    The " TZ2" did not do much, bar introduce the " TZ71B".

    Different regions have had different configurations of the TZ. In the US, the TZ1 did. In Europe, only the TZ2 did. In Japan, neither do. At least, that's based on what I have read on these forums.

    In Europe, the TZ did not launch with WWAN, neither did the previous T iterations have WWAN in Europe. The TZ2 finally gives them WWAN.
