The very first cellular phone designed for Windows Phone 7 Mango has been officially unveiled, and rather than it being Nokia, Samsung or any of the other established WinPho manufacturers, it’s newcomers Toshiba-Fujitsu who are first on the scene with the IS12T.
This is the phone spotted at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference a couple of weeks ago, then rumoured to be the one on which Mango would make its debut just a few days later. Sure enough, at a press event in Tokyo, Toshiba-Fujitsu and the KDDI network took the covers off the new IS12T phone.
Here’s what you need to know:

A 3.-inch touchscreen with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution.
Qualcomm’s MSM8655 processor.
A 13.2 megapixel camera with an LED flash.
32GB of internal memory.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
DLNA.

The standout feature in that list is the massive 13.2 megapixel camera, which also has autofocus and a selection of photographic software tweaks to play about with. Megapixels aren’t everything as we know, but there’s no denying that’s a great headline-grabbing figure!
Confirming what we already knew, the IS12T is water and dust proof, plus we’ve now got some dimensions too; and at 113 grams and 10.6mm thick, it’s easily on a par with most other smartphones. The device will come in several garish colours – citrus and magenta among them – along with a more restrained black chassis.
As Japan has no GSM network, the IS12T is a CDMA phone which means we won’t be seeing this exact model in the UK. Fujitsu isn’t all that well known here either, and aside from the camera, the phone isn’t all that different from Windows Phone handsets we have here already; so perhaps the IS12T will be a Japanese exclusive.
September is being reported as the IS12T’s release date, although the KDDI spec page suggests early October.
