In Japan, Fujitsu also makes phones. They’re of the style so common in Japan—flat, rectangular clamshells—but are shiny, pretty and, as of now, waterproof. Offered by carrier NTTDoCoMo [the country’s biggest telecommunications company], it’ll survive for half an hour in up to a meter of water.

The fingerprint [Integrated Fingerprint Security System] technology is developed by AuthenTec, a provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions. The Symbian-based F-01A comes with a 3.2-inch VGA display (touchscreen), a 5.2-Mpixel camera with autofocus function, GPS (it also displays Google Street View images), a One-Seg digital TV tuner, an e-wallet function and microSDTM／microSDH slots. Users can use it underwater for about 30 minutes in up to one meter.

Cool huh, I mean compare the phones you see in your junk mail pamphlets to these colourfully slick numbers: DOCOMO
