Fujitsu F706i Waterproof Cell Phone with Integrated TV Tuner [Watch Your Favourite Soaps in the Bath with Bubbles*]

Following on from their pervious waterproof cell phones, namely the F103i and F705i (which retains the mantle of being the world’s thinnest waterproof cell phone in measuring a mere 13.7mm in thickness), Fujitsu have just announced their latest waterproof cell phone, the F706i, which comes complete with integrated TV tuner.

Measuring in at just 109 × 49 × 16.9mm and weighing just 137grams, Fujitsu’s new HSDPA F706i sports a clamshell design with 2.7” display, 2MP camera, full digital audio capabilities (along with the aforementioned TV tuner), built-in web browser, offers microSD card expandability and can, depending on which report you believe, withstand being submerged to depths of between 3m and 6m (though our investigations would indicate that the former is correct) for periods of up to 30 minutes.

Fujitsu’s F706i Waterproof Cell Phone, which offers a talktime of up to 190 minutes and a standby time of around 620 hours, will be made available in four colours, Crystal Blue, Jewel White, Precious Black and, of course, Sparkling Pink though, at the point of writing, pricing details have not been released.

*We would like to stress that any perceived reference to Michael Jackson’s pet monkey, Bubbles, is purely incidental (we do not in anyway condone bathing with monkeys whether you have a waterproof phone, or for that matter, numerous hit singles).
