Fujitsu LOOX F-07C Dual-Boots WP7, Symbian

Fujitsu’s LOOX F-07C for NTT DoCoMo is indeed capable of dual-booting Windows 7 and Symbian OS thanks to its clever dual hardware design. The Windows 7 side of things is run by an Intel Atom CPU, 1GB RAM and 32GB SSD.

The two chipsets on the LOOX F-07C share some parts of the hardware – the 4-inch 1024x600 pixels capacitive display, the sliding QWERTY keyboard, the 5 megapixel rear and the VGA front cameras, a common battery, etc. 

Windows 7 (32-bit) is possible thanks to the 1.2GHz Intel Atom processor (with Hyper-Threading), 1GB DDR400 RAM and 32GB SSD. There's also GPS, Wi-Fi N and HSPA connectivity. 

You can seamlessly switch between the Windows 7 and Symbian modes - it just takes a second. It seems that both OS's keep running until the battery power drops to certain level. When this happens, the phone switches automatically to Symbian, turning off the Windows 7 altogether. 

Most probably there is some kind of ARM processor inside to keep the Symbian alive. When in Symbian, you don’t have Wi-Fi access, but you get Bluetooth and Infra-Red connectivity instead. The SSD is reserved solely for Windows 7, but you have a microSD card slot (with a 2GB card pre-installed) to enjoy your Symbian apps. The GPS, HSPA and GSM connections seem to be available in both Windows/Symbian modes.

The Fujitsu LOOX F-07C weighs 218 grams and measures at 125x61x19.8mm.
There is no official information on Symbian version or on the ability to make phone calls under Windows 7.
