Fujitsu and KDDI have just announced that the Fujitsu IS12T will be released and available to the public tomorrow in Japan (or in the next few hours if you actually live there). This is definitely a bit earlier that I had thought but definitely a good thing because it means that other Mango handsets are soon to launch. HTC is set to unveil its devices on September 1st and Samsung may also do it the same day. Full press release after the break:
