DoCoMo and Fujitsu concept phone

There’s been a lot of interesting tech coming out of CEATEC this year and this phone is no exception. The Japanese tech show featured a phone made by DoCoMo and Fujitsu that actually splits into two pieces.
This phone has two separate pieces that attach by means of magnets. The screen separates from the keyboard and it can be made into a flip phone or a landscape, QWERTY-type device much like the Touch Pro.
The two halves communicate by means of Bluetooth. It’s pretty cool looking but not all that practical. I mean, the whole idea is to have all of your devices contained in one device, splitting it in two just seems counterintuitive.
Fujitsu sue Toshiba over lookalike Japanese cellphone

If you think the two cellphones in the picture below look similar, imagine how Fujitsu feel: they developed the handset on the left, the Foma Rakuraku Phone III, for NTT DoCoMo, and then Toshiba introduced the handset on the right, the Kandan Keitai 821T, for Softbank. Now Fujitsu and their carrier chum are suing Toshiba, seeking a temporary injunction on sales of the 821T with the eventual goal of having it permanently withdrawn from sale.
Softbank have responded by denying the similarity, and suggesting that, as the 821T is intended for the youth market (rather than elderly users, as the Rakuraku is), it’s sufficiently different to make Fujitsu a big cry-baby. Toshiba has so far remained silent.
Fujitsu F705i is world’s slimmest waterproof cellphone

As the fight to be able to call your product “The Worlds…” continues, the niches just get narrower; Fujitsu throw their hat into the ring with this, the 705i, hailed as “The World’s slimmest waterproof 3G cellphone”. Competitors for the title may be thin on the ground, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a pretty slick phone: a mere 13.7mm deep, it’ll survive up to 30 minutes submerged in up to 1m of water.
Other than being waterproof, the 705i has Super Clear Voice and Super Clear Mike (sic) audio processing, can shoot images and video courtesy of its a 2-megapixel camera, and weighs just 111g. It’ll manage 170 minutes of talktime or 100 minutes of video calling, despite the narrow battery.
No word on pricing nor availability.
