KDDI finally admits the truth–Fujitsu IS12T launching on Thursday

August 23, 2011 | By Surur

I guess Microsoft finishing Windows Phone 7.5 early has caught KDDI a bit flat footed, as they have been insisting their first Windows Phone 7 handset, the Fujitsu IS12T will be launching in September, despite all evidence to the contrary.

They have now finally released a statement noting that the handset will be available in stores starting August 25th.

KDDI, Okinawa Cellular, since August 25, 2011, a new line-up of au smartphones, "Windows Phone IS12T" (Production: Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications Inc.) to begin selling sequentially.

"Windows Phone IS12T" is a smartphone with Windows Phone 7.5 against water and dust for the first time in Japan. In addition to the light action, with a megapixel camera’s highest 13.20 smartphone, and also 32GB internal memory, and finished in a compact size with rich specifications adopted. View and edit Microsoft Office documents and more, of course, can share data stored in the cloud service operated by Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive Free. It is also an attractive smartphone with such expressive power of the Internet browser technology latest version of Internet Explorer ® 9 and PC-rich applications.

I’m not going to lie, that phone is a beast! Benchmarks crush current WP7 handsets, 32GB storage, 13.2MP camera, sleek and waterproof. All it’s missing is a ff camera, otherwise I would be importing.

what i want to know is how they got 13mp on the snapdragon which only supports up to 12 mp…

Indeed. On the other hand, WP7 devices have a history of fudging the numbers. Current generation claims 720p at 24fps, but in reality it is dropping frames like crazy.

Also, one hell of an expensive phone. It’s not that fast, more like generation one SHOULD have been from the start. Plus they haven’t said anything about sensor and optics so I assume the 13MP is just a paper tiger. If this is the sort of stuff that is supposed to stand against Steve Jobs’ Iphone 5 PR storm in a couple of weeks we better hope that they dropped the ball also.

Those camera stats will mean NOTHING if it doesn’t take great shots. Don’t pull an HTC on us now Fujitsu! THIS is your chance to bust it open. Don’t blow this one. I live on the ocean, and I know MANY MANY MANY MANY people that will buy this phone for the waterproof alone. Don’t blow this opportunity please.

Fujitsu already releases phones with 10-12 MP cameras. And they do take good shots, nothing to worry about Fujitsu here.
