A glimpse of DoCoMo's first e-wallet cellphone

It's no secret that one of the next big things in Japanese cellphones will be the inclusion of noncontact IC chips that allow them to act as e-wallets and commuter passes, amongst other things. DoCoMo is first to the punch with an actual handset, the 3G Fujitsu F900iC,
captured here in scintillating close-up detail by an intrepid snapper at a presentation last week. It was featured on a slide alongside two already-announced models and the NEC
802.11b phone we reported on recently—so it looks safe to say that it and the NEC handset will be out shortly. Both Japan-only for the moment, unfortunately.
