Usually, mobile phones and smartphones that are manufactured in Japan for the Japanese market don’t go outside this country’s boundaries, even if there would be lots of potential customers in other countries. I don’t quite the reason understand the reason why something like this happens, but that’s the way things go, so we should leave them this way.



Still, it seems that someone is trying to change the present situation, and we’re talking about NTT DoCoMo and Fujitsu Limited, that have just announced the release of a handset on the Taiwanese market. This is based on the FOMA F905i model that is already available in Japan. You can find this clamshell under the name of F905i, being sold by Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. (also known as FET).



This is the first collaboration between DoCoMo and Fujitsu that resulted with a product that was designed for a market different from the Japanese. The F905i gives its users the possibility to view and use the Traditional Chinese character set, which is the writing system Taiwanese use. In addition, the phone is provided with access to i-mode, the mobile Internet service offered by FET.



The features of the F905i are quite impressive and they include: a 3.2 inch WVGA display (which can be positioned in two ways, as you can see in the picture), a 3.2 megapixel camera and the proprietary technologies of Fujitsu designed for clear sound and voice reproduction.

If you wonder why DoCoMo has decided to team up with FET (which is also a member of the Conexus Mobile Alliance, founded by DoCoMo, among other mobile operators from Asia-Pacific), then wait until you find that these two companies are “strategic partners”. So it doesn’t seem such a surprise, anymore, does it?
