NEC Casio Mobile MEDIAS N-04C officially announced

Remember the “thinnest smartphone in the world” that had its pictures leaked recently? Well, the phone has now been officially announced. Going on sale in a couple of weeks by Docomo in Japan, the NEC Casio Mobile MEDIAS N-04C is what the pictures hyped it to be. The specs of the device have been confirmed, and the MEDIAS N-04C will pack a 4″ LCD touchscreen (854 x 480) with Gorilla Glass (I guess a phone that thin needs some sort of protection), Android 2.2 (with an update coming this summer), a 5.1 megapixel CMOS camera, 1Seg digital TV tuner, e-wallet function (NFC), 3G/GSM roaming, a microSDHC card slot, infrared communication and the standard Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi. The MEDIAS is still 7.7mm thick and will weigh only 105g. No word on pricing, but the phone will hit the stores in two colors (black or white) on March 15. Let’s hope we get to see the phone on this side of the world. Hit the break for a video demo of the phone:
