This could have come in handy two weeks ago. With a 5MP camera, 1GHz processor, Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread, and 4-inch touch screen, the NEC Medias 101S sounds pretty pedestrian. But it also happens to be the first water-resistant phone that doesn’t look too ridiculously sporty—no bright orange or yellow case here. Instead, the phone comes in a sleek black body (8.2mm) featuring scratch-resistant Gorilla glass. Thailand is the first country outside Japan to sell this phone, so you will also make tech bloggers in the USA jealous just by virtue of owning it. B12,900. www.medias.net
