Fujitsu's latest 3G handset to be based on Symbian OS, the F900i, has commenced shipping in Japan as the fifth 3G device to be based on the increasingly popular operating system for mobile devices. The announcement follows the recent Operator Technology Integrator agreement between Symbian and NTT DoCoMo signed in September 2003, which gave NTT DoCoMo access to Symbian OS source code and the right to deliver extended versions of this code to phone manufacturers that are Symbian OS licensees.

The features of the F900i include a CCD camera with 1.28 mega-pixel effective resolution and 1.23 mega-pixel recorded resolution, as well as a fingerprint sensor for access security and synchronization with a PC. At approximately 480 hours of static standby time, the F900i offers approximately 55 percent more static standby time than the previous Symbian OS-based 3G FOMA phone by Fujitsu, the F2102V which had approximately 310 hours of static standby time.
