The Fujitsu F-09A has a 3.4-inch sliding and rotating touchscreen, high-speed FOMA and 3G GSM connectivity, 8.1-megapixel camera with autofocus and smile-detection. The F-09A may also be the first phone to include an integrated exercise monitor that tracks physical activity and works with the handset’s GPS and compass to track progress and provide mapping.

The Integrated TV can be watched in widescreen by rotating the display by 90-degrees. There’s also a full internet browser, media player, Bluetooth and the usual NTT DoCoMo goodies that Western users can only dream of. No word on the price when it arrives in Japan on June 10th

Fujitsu has no device that runs on Android but it’s ready to offer Android services. That’s not as weird as it sounds. The company is probably aware that Android will surely go in the near future so it has announced a complete suite of services and consulting for Google Android.

Fujitsu will provide:

• Training and Seminars
• Engineering - OS, Platform, Device Drivers, Applications and migration development
• Consulting
• Platform - Fujitsu’s Inspirium middleware platform

So when will Fujitsu launch an Android device?

Mobile phones were never meant to get wet and apparently such cases are purely accidental. Moisture is a leading cause of cell phone returns but with the F-01A phone, you can practically bring it along the next time you take a dip.

The F-01A feature’s AuthenTec’s TouchStone waterproof packaging, TruePrint fingerprint technology and TrueNav navigational controls.

The F-01A is based on a Symbian operating system and features a 3.5-inch widescreen VGA touchscreen display, 5.2 megapixel camera with Autofocus, built-in GPS using Mobile Google Maps with Street View, e-Wallet mobile payment capability, and a 1Seg mobile TV tuner.

Toshiba, one of the world’s largest makers of “flash memory” and computer chips, is reportedly interested in acquiring Fujitsu’s hard-disk drive business. Western Digital was rumored to be interested in Fujitsu as well but it looks like Toshiba has just sweetened the pot with its entry into the fray.

And if the grapevine is true, Fujitsu openly declared that they are negotiating with multiple parties but it looks like Toshiba has the inside track. And with the reputation of Toshiba obviously put into consideration it looks like Fujitsu is barking at the right party to take over.

A deal, which is expected to be priced at between Y30bn-Y40bn ($340m-$450m), would allow Fujitsu to exit another lossmaking hardware business, as the Japanese group seeks to concentrate on higher-margin IT services. Toshiba, meanwhile, would be able to spread its bets in the data storage market.

From the Asian part of the world comes NTT DoCoMo presenting the upcoming Fujitsu cellphone, codenamed F-02A. Much like the Givori Nefertiti, what makes this handset stand out from the rest is the inclusion of jewelry, in this case it is a 0.02 karat diamon located on the front near the display. The diamond measures 1.7mm of diameter and is made by 4ºC.

Other features of the Fujitsu F-02A also known as Fujitsu Diamond Cellphone, include a 3-inch screen with resolution of 854×480pixels on the internal display, while the external screen has a smaller resolution at 320×240pixels. It comes with a sensor that rotates the screen automatically, and a 2-megapixel camera. Price and release date are unknown so far.

We have four of the Japan’s finest companies that decided to play together in order to create a SH-Mobile G4 single-chip LSI device. Wow, that’s so cool, I will want two or three of those!

Seriously speaking, NTT DoCoMo, Renesas, Fujitsu and Sharp are working on a handset which will have GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and HSUPA/HSDPA/W-CDMA standards. The Japanese companies are getting ready a cell phone that’s going to offer HSUPA speeds of up to 5.7Mbps and HSDPA speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. The devices will come with 45-nm processors, 3D graphics support, HD support and more. The SH-Mobile G4 will arrive in 2010, which is a long long time from now. Maybe too long!

The phone in the picture above is a concept phone shown by DoCoMo and Fujitsu at CEATEC in Japan this year. This splitting cell phone look interesting. I can help but wonder how fast I’d destroy it. I tend to play with cell phones, especially sliders and flip phones to the point where certain parts might fly off.

As you can see there’s a screen and a keyboard segment. The two pieces are connected with magnets and they communicate which each other via Bluetooth. There’s no name for this splitting device as it’s just a concept for now. We’re waiting to see if Fujitsu and DoCoMo will actually send it to massive production. It would be interesting to see what features it will sport.

While we usually talk about handsets for the general public, we have now some news from the corporate world. HSBC which you might be familiar with from your banking sessions, is apparently considering the idea of getting Apple’s handset.

HSBC might order about 200,000 iPhones for its staff around the world. HSBC has about 300,000 employees around the world and it is reviewing the iPhone from a HSBC perspective. Such a move will mean switching from their current handset provider which is RIM to Apple.

A decision is yet to be taken so stick around for more news. It would be interesting to see how many of HSBC would like this BlackBerry to iPhone switch. And what about other large corporate businesses around the world? Are they also considering similar moves?

Here’s a rumor that has been circulating for a while. The iPhone 2, once released will cost less than it was initially expected to. Why would Apple do it? That’s actually simple. By subsidizing the 3G iPhone Apple will get closer and closer to their 10 million iPhones sold in 2008. I am sure that there are lots of people willing to pay $399 or more for it as they were execting it for a while now. If the price drops to $200 even more people will hurry to buy one. It’s a win win situation. Apple sells plenty of iPhones, carriers in over 64 countries sell lots of iPhone plans and we, their subscribers, get to take the iPhone home.

Japanese mobile network, NTT DoCoMo, has unveiled their new handset, a variant of the Fujitsu FOMA F905i, the F905iBiz.

The Fujitsu F705i tries to proves beyond a doubt that “waterproof” and “slim” is a good combination. It is the latest in its “FOMA i series” of waterproof phones headed to NTT DoCoMo conforming to IPX5 and IPX7 waterproof standards and measures a scrawny 13.7 mm. Waterproof up to 30 minutes at 1 meter depth, this phone features a 1.3-megapixel camera, Super Clear Voice and Super Clear Mic for in-call adjustment of volume to surrounding sounds, a 2.7-inch QVGA LCD screen, and Quick Zoom for increased visual accessibility. This cell phone also has another notable feature, which is a buzzer that can be set off in case of an emergency alerting people in the proximity.

The Fujitsu F705i will be available in three colors of snow white, dark blue, and light pink, although my Japanese doesn’t permit me enough to say when.

Check out Fujitsu’s new FOMA F801i series of mobile phones. These phones have high waterproof efficiency and come with GPS functionality. The phones are available in bright colors and come with some sort of a "crime prevention buzzer" which sounds out a buzzer at 100 decibels - enough to blow your eardrum at close range (well, not really!). With four high-level brightness LED, it is possible to inform of the emergency to people around you.

Featuring a flat and square design, the F801i FOMA phones are equipped with 2.7 inch display, and are 17.8mm thick (when folded). Available in orange, white, black and light blue, there’s also a 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera with auto-focus.

I love the new cell phone names. There was the Samsung Blast, and now Fujitsu has the new RakuRaku (which, of course, means easy in Japanese). One of the entry-level phones out there that boasts of GPS capabilities, noise reduction technology for clear conversations and a camera on-board.

Cool features include an image correction algo that ensures sharp images all the time. You can also compose emails using icons and drawings although it’s not clear how. It’s a nice looking flip phone, and when closed, is about 17.6 mm thick.

Oh, and it’s also available in pink. Check back with us for more details - like when it will hit the markets and how much it’ll be priced at.
