Fujitsu hasn't released smartphone since 2007. But considering largely growing smartphone market in Japan, they decided to come back to smartphone market.

One thing to worry is that their adaptivity on oversea markets. Toshiba got enough technology to realize their idea (we could see it in their unique "F-04B" keyboard-display separatable phone).

But Japanese market is quite unique from international market. They will have to pursue universality, which many other competitors already learned.
