IS12T gives you a look at hidden Wifi SSID support coming to Mango, plus more exclusive features

Tezawaly from Nanapho.jp has been spending plenty of time with recently announced Fujitsu - Toshiba's water proof IS12T. His latest post revealed Hidden Wifi network support interface which will soon be coming to Mango Retail build. Hidden SSID support wasn't included in the latest refreshed beta build for unknown reason but Brandon Watson confirmed yesterday that the support will come with  Mango RTM. Apparently, the IS12T that Tezawaly has been playing around runs on build 7716 while the refreshed developer build is 7712, so the build being mention here is a step ahead of the build available to the developers but just short of RTM which is 7720.  Read more after the break.

Tokyo residents could have a try with Toshiba IS12T already?

Just saw Windows Phone Japan posting on Facebook :

Which means "From today on, real units of IS12T will be shown at KDDI Designing Studio. I'm coming near you!"

KDDI Designing Studio is located in Tokyo. So if you are lucky enough to be in Tokyo right now, you can (supposedly) just drop by and have a real feel of the waterproof beauty.

If you did try the device, please don't hesitate to share with us in the comment your thought on it.

Here is a map if you wonder how to get to the studio. Please know that I have zero knowledge about Tokyo streets, and won't take responsibility for any people getting lost. I'd say take your trusted GPS, and ask local dudes often.

Good luck.

All you need to know about Fujitsu - Toshiba 's first Windows Phone Mango device IS12T

Futijsu - Toshiba in a press conference in Tokyo early today announced their first Windows Phone powered smartphone running Mango (first officially unveiled Mango device) called IS12T exclusively available on Japanese carrier KDDI. A bit awkward by all standards and most probably  "IS12T" will probably be the final product name when it launches later in September this year. PR, specs and video walkthrough after the break. This doesn't come as a surprise, fyi. We reported about this joint launch exclusively with KDDI some time back.
