Fujitsu appears determined to bring to the market the thinnest smartphones ever, and the new Fujitsu Arrow ES IS12F is the latest such handset, the one that claims the top spot on the list.

Being only 6.7mm (0.26 inches) thin, the new device is as slim as the Fujitsu ARROWS μ F-07D smartphone that was seen recently en-route to NTT DoCoMo.

Arrow ES IS12F will make an appearance on shelves at wireless carrier KDDI in Japan, and has just been made official with Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system on board and with waterproof capabilities.

The specifications list of the new Android smartphone includes a 4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display that can deliver a 480 x 800 pixel resolution, a 5-megapixel camera with image stabilization capabilities, or a fast 1.4GHz Snapdragon MSM8655 application processor.

Fujitsu also packed Arrow ES IS12F with Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, along with support for CDMA and GSM networks, and with a 1,400mAh battery capable of delivering 400 minutes of talk time.
