The MEDIAS N-04C might well be the hotness in the world of superslim phones right now,but if you're looking for something with alittle more oomph and protection against water,then NEC's also got youcovered.
According to a pamphlet obtained by datacider,the MEDIASfamily will soon be welcoming a Gingerbread-powered N-06C,whichclosely resembles the N-04C except for the extra 0.2mm thickness plus10g weight,as well as touch buttons instead of physical ones.
But whatwe really care about here are the IPX5 and IPX7 waterproof ratings,meaning this 7.9mm-thick Android's been tested against small water jetsand one-meter immersion,respectively.On the inside,apart from thefaster 1GHz chip and 14Mbps FOMA download speed,
the rest are prettymuch what we've seen before:4-inch 480 x 854 LCD,1GB ROM,512MB RAM,802.11n WiFi,and 5 megapixel camera with 720p video.There's no clearindication on a release date,but you're welcome to kill some time bychecking out the full spec sheet after the break.
