Last month NTT DOCOMO premiered its winter 2009 collection of mobile phones consisting of 19 different models. Among these are 9 Symbian phones, which are being featured on the Symbian blog today. Features range from a 12 megapixel camera, through separating parts and being waterproof to smell-o-phone, and more. However unless you're in Japan, you'll probably never see them. This may change in the future as both DOCOMO and the manufacturers are interested in expanding to markets outside Japan.

Of the four manufactured by Fujitsu, the highlights include three models with a 12.2 megapixel camera, a waterproof unit with space for a 'snap on perfume holder' and a two-part phone that comes apart like some Transformer Smartphone. Sharp have made the other five, which include a Qwerty keyboard device with a 3.7 inch touch screen (see below), a number of fashion designed phones and the rather stylish sounding SH-02B which has “[a] crystal-patterned body surface with elegant illumination and smooth curves.”

Docomo and the MOAP-S interface has been one of the quiet successes of Symbian. With so many commentators happily interchanging Symbian OS with S60, this part of the ecosystem, which of course started back in the day when we had S60, S80, S90, UIQ and and all the customisations that those UI's had. It's good to see that even in the transition to the Symbian Foundation that these handsets are still coming out from NTT DOCOMO, Fujitsu and Sharp.

IDG have a video from the presentation, demoing some of the phones:
