Although I like gadgets of different kinds, I see no point in using a phone in the water. However, there are some situation when water waterproof mobile phone would be of good use. When it drops in the water, for example. For both lovers and non-lovers of wet mobile phones Japanese company Fujitsu created a waterproof phone F706i.
NTT DoCoMo Group launched the new device in Japan and the rest of us may enjoy pictures. Fujitsu F706i is a slim device, 16.9 mm tick, and it is "stylish" as they say in Fujitsu. I'd say I saw it is "Japanese stylish", for the eastern influence is clearly visible and it is obvious that the mobile phone is from Japan. Won't say that's good or bad, it just different.
The main characteristic of the new F706i is its waterproof case which makes it ideal for use in bath or in the kitchen when there's plenty of water around you. It can stands a few drops and even a direct jet. The back panel may rotate 180 degrees which is nice when you want to watch a television show. Yes, it has TV tuner built in, something that we in Europe are dreaming of and our friend in Japan say "of course it has TV".
Fujitsu has LED has very straight design, with robust straight lines. It looks like it is designed for boys, but the both sexes should like it. It comes in four flavour, Blue Jewel, White Sparkling, Pink Precious and Black, so obviously girl will take one colour and boys another, the distinction won't be made by overall design. Thank to LE diodes F706i really is sparkling device. Along with four main colours, there is a new LED panel that signalises the phone operation a displays a pattern of light. There are 50 different colour so every state on the phone is instantly recognizable.
The new Fujitsu with 2in1 option which means that you can have to telephone numbers in one device for those that think that one number is not enough. Data will flow using fast HSDPA technology, there's a DCMXiD technology built in (it is electronic wallet, again something that we outside Japan may just dream of). There is a web browser, a full beast, no the small mobile version that doesn't work most of the time.
Along with TV tuner there is a 2 Mpix camera with image stabilizer. All pictures and TV shows you may watch on 2.7-inch screen. When you set F706i in landscape mode on the upper side there is a telescopic TV antenna, and since the screen may be rotated the device can be folded while you are watching TV. The battery will last for 100 minutes when TV is on, 620 hours on stand-by and 190 minutes of talking. ■
The mid to upper level flow continues to amplify across the CONUS, leading to an active weather pattern across large portions of the eastern third of the nation.
