Softbank Sharp 945 SH G

Earlier today, Japanese wireless carrier Softbank officially launched the Sharp 945SH G Gunpla mobile phone.  The phone is packaged with a stand resembling the RX-78 Gundam from the first series as well as being crafted in its image along with a Gunpla model exclusive to the device and packaging.

Technical specifications consist of a 12.1 megapixel camera with CCD sensor and autofocus, along with a 3.2 inch F-WVGA resolution display, digital TV tuner (1Seg), Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth and HDMI output.  The 945 series is also known for being water resistant (not waterproof as other outlets have claimed) up to 200 meters.  More information and images can be found at its dedicated portal.
