LOOX F-07C: Fujitsu’s Symbian/Windows 7 Dual Boot Cell Phone Unveiled

It turns out the leak we blogged last month is true: Japan’s biggest mobile carrier NTT Docomo today officially introduced the Fujitsu LOOX F-07C as part of its summer line-up, and the device actually does dual-boot to Symbian and Windows 7 OS (not Windows Phone). Hardware-wise, the LOOX is pretty interesting, too.

Here are the main specs:

Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit Japanese edition and Symbian double OS

Microsoft Office Personal 2010

slide-out QUWRTY keyboard with trackball

4-inch LCD with 1,024×600 resolution

5MP CMOS camera

1GB memory

32GB eMMC

1.2GHz Intel Atom CPU

802.11b/g/n WiFi

microSDHC slot (32GB max.)

battery life in Windows 7 mode: 2 hours (after that, the device switches to Symbian mode automatically to save battery)

size: 125mm61mm19.8mm, weight: 218g


Docomo will start distributing the LOOX F-07C in Japan this summer, but don’t expect the device to hit other markets anytime soon.
