Fujitsu seeking an entry to Smartphone market in India
Fujitsu has undoubtedly a very good market reputation worldwide for digital cameras, video recorders and other camera optics related accessories but who would have guessed that one day Fujitsu would be interested in making mobile phones.
Although we are not sure whether their products are good or bogus but still I expect them to show some real flare via their handsets because without something new and original, they are just going to end up like Lemon or Pine or GeeFive, nameless and identity less.
We have come to know that Fujitsu has embedded their skills in photography and optics to mobile phones. Yeah! Surprisingly one of their phones has a 12.2 MP camera. This sounds familiar as recently revealed Nokia N8 and Spice S-1200 also have a 12.2 MP Camera.
Fujitsu has also customized their phones’ user interface called NX to make them exclusive. Some of its phones have chosen one of the most reliable operating system in this universe; you guessed it – Android OS.
Fujitsu cell phones are also made compatible with Indian environment due to addition of water-resistant and dust resistant body, display screen and keypad.
We have heard of phones that have dual input methods – touchscreen and QWERTY keypad, Nokia N97 Mini for example. We have also seen phones having triple input methods, touchscreen, QWERTY keypad and optical trackpad, Motorola Charm but have you ever heard of detachable phones?
Fujitsu has come up with this new idea to make detachable phone, I am not sure the reason why they are so intrigued about that but surprisingly this can make their phones work like two separate devices.
You can use phone like flip phone with keypad and then remove the keypad to have a smart, sleek and slim touchscreen device. Now that is something, I must say.
Finals Words for Fujitsu Mobile Phones
Companies today are spreading their names in everything they can; it won’t surprise me if Nokia comes up with its own tablet PC in a few months.
So, it is not a big deal if Fujitsu have decided to storm the smartphone sector.
When Creative, a brand known specifically for creating audio systems and headphones can create an Android Tablet PC for itself, anything is possible.
I have no idea what future holds for Fujitsu smartphone but one thing is for sure, if Fujitsu mobile phones are launched in India, they are going to face some real competition.

Bharti Airtel, Aircel To Launch iPhone 4 In India Soon
Two telecommunication service providers said that they will launch Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone 4 smartphones in India in coming months as mobile telecom companies start rolling out third-generation services.
Bharti Airtel Ltd. and Aircel Ltd. separately announced their plans to launch the phone, but both declined to say when would they launch the most-recent iPhone version and at what price.
Apple didn't offer any immediate comment.
Sales of smartphones like iPhone, which is popular for its high-speed Internet and mobile software capabilities, are expected to get a boost in India as telecom companies are rolling out 3G services that offer high-speed data transfer capabilities.
With more than 790 million subscribers, India is the second-largest market after China for telecom services. It is also the fastest-growing market.
India's mobile handsets market is expected to grow 25% to 210 million units in 2011, according to market research firm CyberMedia Research, which expects smartphones to account for 5.7% of the total handset sales in 2011 compared with 3.6% last year.
Bharti, which already sells earlier models of iPhone, has so far added 2 million users to its 3G mobile telephone network, which it launched in January.
The company, India's largest mobile phone operator by subscribers, has bandwidth to offer 3G services in 13 of the country's 22 telecom service areas.
Aircel, which has more than 50 million subscribers on its second-generation network, started providing 3G services in February. It also has bandwidth to offer 3G telecom services in 13 areas.
Malaysia's Maxis Communications Bhd. holds a 74% stake in Aircel, while India's Apollo Hospitals group owns the rest.
Apple's iPhone 4 was first released in the U.S. and four other countries in June last year, with a starting price of $199.
Last June, Vodafone Essar Ltd., the Indian unit of the U.K.'s Vodafone Group PLC, had said would launch iPhone 4 in India, but didn't say by when.
