Nice but not very practical me thinks. 2 halves would get lost in a matter of days.

As for the magnets, I wonder how they work exactly? Could they be shielded to where the magnetic field only projects out from a very small section? Is there a physical clasp that helps steady the halves while the magnets are holding them together? I do still worry about losing part of it. I want to like it, though!

Is the keyboard dynamic or just back-lit? It seems like DoCoMo would at least have the hiragana printed on the keys, since Japanese computers and cell phone keypads show them. It's possible for the keyboard to convert, but most Japanese people prefer to use half the keystrokes to type hiragana--especially because DoCoMo's large user base includes a lot of older folks.

Also, I am surprised no one has commented on the stoic DoCoMo Lady. She doesn't seem particularly excited about the splitting phone. ]]>Sep 30th 2008 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/Is what the lady is trying to say ;)

By the way... does this mean we'll have to charge pieces separately?]]>Sep 30th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/Sep 30th 2008 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/Sep 30th 2008 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/Sep 30th 2008 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/
At least I'm assuming that's the case. Otherwise your comment is just random speculation.

I'm guessing it's an Apple product that let's you do that?]]>Sep 30th 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/Sep 30th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/Sep 30th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/

Pretty much gives you ideas as to how to configure the phone in many ways. The way I see it you only need the top part and the second is when you really need to have a keyboard to do some massive text, hopefully the top is still touchscreen. I can see that as a controller of a game where you can place it on a headrest inside a car and have the other half as the game pad. Many possibilities but still needs to get more people to see other practicality of it all.]]>Sep 30th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/docomo-and-fujitsu-show-off-splitting-phone-at-ceatec/where is the other half of my phone!!!
