Just recently, NTT DoCoMo launched Fujitsu-manufactured FOMA F903iBSC, a business version of 3G FOMA F903i phone. But, unlike its “regular” counterpart, the business-wise F903iBSC contains much less (yes that’s “less”) features. WTF!?
The idea is to avoid “information leakage” and provide employees with only the tools they need. In that sense, this FOMA doesn’t have a camera, external memory, USB in and IrDA port. Furthermore, users of this device will not be able to use e-wallet service or music player (that comes with F903i), and will even have an address book limited to 101 entries.
But the story doesn’t end there. In case an employee loses his everything-but-beloved device, NTT DoCoMo can remotely reset phonebook, e-mail, calendars, data-box, call records and screen memos.
I guess the targeted market fur such device could be some (Chinese!?) government agencies and R&D departments of large corporations. As far as I’m concerned, keep this thing away from me. I enjoy all the features of a smartphone.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
