Fujitsu announces world’s first Mango device, Windows Phone IS12T

Just hours after Microsoft announced it had signed the release to manufacturer build of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, Fujitsu Toshiba has announced the world’s first Windows Phone Mango device: Windows Phone IS12T.

In a statement (surprisingly lacking the words “world’s,” “first,” “official,” and/or “Mango device”), the company clamored that the IS12T is Japan’s first water- and dust-proof Windows Phone device running the new version of the operating system. It comes with a 13.2 megapixel camera, 32GB of internal storage, with what Engadget is reporting a 3.7″ WVGA screen.

The device will be available “after September 2011″ exclusively in Japan by KDDI Corporation and Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company; it’s not exactly clear if they mean in September as in after September 1st or if they mean in October. (If it’s the former, rumors of a September Mango release are confirmed, practically.)

Side note: the company also put a rest to the Windows Phone 7.1 vs 7.5 debate — they used 7.5.
