Fujitsu F884i Lets You Dictate Emails and Messages

Fujitsu, the Japanese giant company, has recently launched F884i, the latest mobile phone from the "Raku-Raku" series, available in three color versions black, red and light gold/silver. Also known as "Raku-Raku Premium", the new device comes in a clamshell form factor, as most of the company's mobile phones and also as most of the handsets produced in Japan.

Besides the simple design, which won't be seen as attractive by too many people from outside Japan, Fujitsu F884i offers a wide range of advanced features, typical for most of the Japanese mobile phones.

F884i packs a wide 3.1 inch swiveling display with 240 x 432 pixels and a 550:1 contrast ratio, a 3.2Megapixel camera, both GSM and 3G connectivity, 1Seg TV tuner for mobile TV broadcasting, and advanced voice recognition, which allows users to send emails or text messages only by pronouncing the wanted text in front of the phone. Of course, you'll have to speak in a clear manner, otherwise you'll find that weird words are being sent, instead of what you actually want to transmit.

Fujitsu F884i weighs 140 grams (4.93 ounces) and, when closed, it measures 109 x 50 x 20 millimeters (4.29 x 1.96 x 0.78 inches). When flipped, the handset might seem a bit too big, but a 3 inch display can't be integrated into a small clamshell after all.

Unfortunately for the non-Japanese users who might want to get a F884i, the phone is sold exclusively via NTT DoCoMo, the largest mobile operator in Japan, under the name of FOMA F884i. Anyway, since the handset supports most of the global networks, if you really want the phone, you can pay a visit to Japan, get the F884i and come with it back home (whatever "home" might mean). The phone's price is unknown, but users should expect to pay some good money for it.
