Today NTT DoCoMo introduced 19 new phones for the Japanese market. One of the devices brings an interesting new form factor to the market. The F-04B (from DoCoMo's multimedia-focused PRIME series of devices) features a 12.1 megapixel camera main camera and a VGA secondary camera, and it supports microSD cards up to 16GB. What makes it unique is that it has what DoCoMo calls the world's first separable, two-module body. The screen portion of the phone can be separated from the keyboard portion, and the two halves can communicate via Bluetooth. It will be available in march or April of 2010.

Having trouble...

... figuring out how this is useful. It's not lik e phone screen is big enough to make typing from a distance useful. Now you have two separate pieces to hold instead of one.

I'd really like to know who asked for this?

Basically it is a touchscreen phone until one wants to do heavy duty texting or Internet then use the keyboard.
