Toshiba Regza: Waterproof Android with 12MP Camera, NFC and more
The United States might be the land of the free, but we’ve yet to earn freedom for many of the smartphones and Android phones in Asia and Europe that we would otherwise Desire (see what I did there?). It only takes a few specs to quickly put the Toshiba Regza near the top of that list:
The Regza only runs Android 2.1 but with a 12MP camera, NFC chip, and waterproof conditioning it immediately seems like a pretty sweet phone. In my limited time toying with the Regza I was pleasantly surprised. I’m still dying for the day that we get an Android phone with optical zoom, but the pictures on the Regza – at least in the viewfinder – looked quite gorgeous. I tried to share/E-mail them to myself but they have yet to come through… if they do, we’ll be sure to post them here.
A quick look at some of the specs:
- Android 2.1
- 12MP camera (plus a front facing camera)
- Waterproof
- 4-inch screen
- 854 x 480 pixel resolution
- 14.7mm thick
- 149 grams
- Near Field Communications equipped
Now Toshiba needs to bring their Android Phones to the American market (please). I’ve owned two Toshiba laptops and have loved them both. Actually, this very post is being written lovingly from a Toshiba laptop.
If the Toshiba Regza was available in your area, would it make your short list of Android Phones to consider buying?
