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.

Measuring 105mm x 48mm x 17.8mm, the phone weighs 120 grams (including battery). It is now available in Japan.
