NEC preparing MEDIAS N-06C Gingerbread phone with waterproof capabilities

NEC is looking to expand its Android offering in Japan with yet another slim phone. This time however, the N-06C won’t be as slim as N-04C but will gain a very important feature – to ward off water to protect the phone.

The 7.9mm thick phone is certified with IPX5 and IPX7 waterproof ratings and comes with some interesting specs like a 1GHz CPU, Android 2.3 OS, 14Mbps FOMA download speeds, 5MP camera, 720p HD video recording, Wi-Fi, 4-inch 480×854 display and more.

There’s no word on the availability but don’t let your hopes fly as it won’t be released outside Japan.
