If the price of the device doesnt convince you to buy it, maybe the fact that it cant make it up to two hours of runtime on windows mode will. Not a very persuasive reason, but we have got to admit that this is as far as a mobile phone ca go. And even so Fujitsu could get better focusing on a mass-market product rather than the small-market this phone will surely find.
After all, using windows, a desktop operating system on a 4-inch, 1024×600 mobile device screen will be really frustrating except for the most patient. Because for mobile use, Windows phone 7 is enjoyable, but Windows, not so much without a keyboard and mouse.
There is an issue though, Intel’s 1.2 GHz Atom Z600 chip will only run at 600 MHz in the F-07C, which will reduce the performance of the phone's windows mode. The chip could probably be boosted to run at full speed, but that will drastically reduce the battery's runtime. And once you end up using all of the battery's runtime you'll be stuck with neither a mini-computer or a mobile phone.
The concept of a full computer in your pocket sounds cool, but between cons and pro the fate of this computer-phone seems unpredictable. So all we can do for now is sit and watch where it goes.
