Remember NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM)’s FOMA “9 series”. I’ve posted the info about F902iS, D902iS and SH902iS. Well, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) today announced that NTT DoCoMo, Inc. in Japan is using Nokia’s Intellisync SyncML Server to power a new data storage service for customers purchasing the DoCoMo 902is Series or any other 3G phone after that.

The Data Security Service makes life easier for NTT DoCoMo subscribers by protecting their valuable phone contact information and other content through online backup. Using Nokia’s Intellisync SyncML Server technology and their personal computer, subscribers can access their existing data, images, and contact information via a secure Web site, and then easily manage and backup that information on their phone over the air.

The new service is the result of more than a year of collaboration between the companies in creating a prototype and refining the service to provide a superior user experience. Shortly, great news for all FOMA “9 series” owners.

The NTT DoCoMo’s FOMA F902iS is the 32nd Symbian device shipped in Japan (yes, I still count) and is manufactured by Fujitsu (OTCPK: FJTSY).
