Last month, Fujitsu in Japan unveiled IS12T, declared the first cellphone running on Windows phone 7.5 aka mango. And the country's second largest mobile carrier (and exclusive supplier of phone) KDDI au, not losing a lot of time: IS12T became available today, and here (this is Fujitsu, official press release in English today).

As we reported earlier, mango tubes, comes with a 3.7 inch LCD 800 × 480 resolution, 13.2 MP CMOS camera, the body is water and shock proof 32 GB internal memory, support the microUSB port, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi (do not bind), DLNA, GSM/CDMA, etc.

There are nine languages for user interface, and IS12T is available in three colors "Neon" (citrus fruits, black, purple).

I went to the store only a mobile phone in my area today, having a look at the phone, but unfortunately, I got a few pictures (see above) and play around with it for a few minutes before I had to leave (not video photo no).

My first impression was that the phone itself felt light and thin, but very cheap and plasticky (I couldn't give Xbox Live, Internet Explorer and other apps spin because Wi-Fi and 3 G have been turned off – within a few minutes, I played with it, the UI felt great).

Price-Wise IS12T is located at the upper end of the spectrum for mobile phones in Japan: storage (and all other retailers, for that matter) implements the phone up to $955 (but with steep discounts in certain circumstances). So if Fujitsu really starts selling mobile phone outside Japan (they have international plans), don't expect it will be a budget model.
