Although Google's Android mobile platform is hot on heels, Fujitsu dared to challenge other handset manufacturers that are mainly focusing on releasing Android devices, by announcing a dual-booting Windows 7 / Symbian handset.
The upcoming Fujitsu LOOX F-07C is said to be able to function as the world's smallest Windows 7 PC, or as a simple, yet large Symbian smartphone.
Even though it started as a rumor, the LOOX F-07C has been confirmed recently by Japan's major carrier
NTT DoCoMo.
Fujitsu and NTT DoCoMo have revealed that the device is expected to be available on the market in June or July for about $860, but further details regarding the phone's exact release date will be unveiled in due time.
The landscape slider handles both Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bits Japanese edition), as well as Nokia's Symbian mobile platform, although there's no word on the version of the operating system.
The device measures 125 x 61 x 19.8 and weighs 218 (battery included), which puts it in the heavy category.
It has a large 4-inch WSVGA LCD touchscreen with 262k colors support and 600 x 1024 pixels resolution.
Fujitsu LOOX F-07C is equipped with a 1.2GHz Intel Atom processor and packs 1GB LPDDR400 RAM, 32GB of eMMC disk space, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 2GB memory card included).
Furthermore, the phone features Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n connectivity, a 5.1-megapixel camera, as well as HDMI-out via a USB adapter.
According to Fujitsu, the device's battery should provide up to 400 hours (600 hours for 3G) of standby time or up to 7 hours and 20 minutes (6 hours for 3G) of talk time.
However, the aforementioned figures are only available when the device is used in “mobile phone mode.”
In addition, the LOOX F-07C is delivered with Microsoft's Office Personal 2010 software suite, along with 2-year license.
