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.

Is that link working properly? I might not be a master of Japanese, but it doesn't look like a news article to me.

I don't doubt its authenticity old boy, just that the link doesn't appear to be working; perhaps they have taken the news article off of the site?
