Fujitsu is going to release a smartphone with a dual OS (Symbian - Windows 7)

Generally speaking, I had never heard of Fujitsu releasing mobile phones. Interested in searching the web, I found as many as four models, the newest of which dates from 2007. Apparently, the company's management decided to try out a relatively new area for themselves again, because Fujitsu announced a new phone, Fujitsu Loox F-07C. This is a fairly modern device, it is clear that the developers have tried, although there are some problems.

The horizontal slider Fujitsu Loox F-07C is equipped with a full-QWERTY-keyboard, plus a fairly large, 4 inches, after all, the display. The resolution of the latter is 1024 * 600 pixels, which is also quite a lot. The hardware platform here is based on the Intel Atom (Intel Atom Z600). Plus, the phone has a solid-state drive with a capacity of 32 gigabytes.

The dimensions of the phone are 125 x 61 x 19.8 mm, while the weight of the device is 218 grams. This device is probably closer to UMPCs than to cell phones, although it is rather difficult to decide. The most interesting thing about this device is that by pressing one button you can switch from Symbian OS to Windows 7 (!). Quite an interesting combination, right?



The guys from Engadget, who managed to test the device, were unhappy with the Windows mode. And indeed, because the device is equipped with only 1 GB of RAM, plus in Windows-mode, the processor operates at a frequency of only 600 MHz. This is clearly not enough for this operating system, and the result is predictable: it slows down everything that can slow down, including watching videos on YouTube with a resolution of 480p. At 360p, everything seemed to go fine.



In general, a rather interesting device that can hardly be called practical. But for geeks - the most it. After all, you can pull out your device at any time, and say: “My phone works on Windows 7!”. Well, how it works in this mode is another question.

And one more thing - this phone is produced for the Japanese market, so far its appearance in other regions is questionable.
