Fujitsu's Latest Mobile Phone Splits In Two 140
angry tapir writes with news of Fujitsu's new phone which is taking the sliding phone keyboard a step further by allowing it to detach completely. "The F-04B was announced as part of NTT DoCoMo's new line-up and is scheduled to hit Japanese shelves in March or April next year. At first glance it looks like a conventional slider cell phone: grab onto the bottom of the phone and a numeric keypad slides out. But decouple a catch and the entire back half of the phone can be pulled off."

After doing some more searching, another site [letsgomobile.org] gives these values: "114x51x20.4 mm" it would appear that the first site goofed up when converting between cm and mm. If this site is correct, the phone is still pretty fat (in my opinion), just not nearly quite so much.
Based on the numbers from the first site, the phone would actually be as wide as an iPhone/Droid is tall and almost twice as tall. At that size a 5 cm depth wouldn't be terribly bad, but it would be a comically large phone in general. At that size it would be more like a small tablet device.
I'm American so I don't really think in metric. Thanks for catching the slip-up.

That's kind of a terrible way to say it, sticking a $5,000 lens in front of a $5 sensor wouldn't make the sensor work any better.
