Another NEC phone with a weird name is headed our way, folks. NTT DoCoMo is gearing up to launch the NEC Medias LTE N-04D. As its name implies, it’ll be a 4G LTE device aimed toward the high-end market. It has a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, a 4.3 inch 720p HD display and a TV tuner for tube on the go. It’ll also have Bluetooth 4.0 which is needed to interface with Casio”s G-SHOCK Bluetooth watch. I really, really love NEC’s phones but unfortunately I’ll never have the chance to own one unless I make a move to Japan. If you happen to reside in the land of the rising sun, though, look forward to its launch on NTT next week. [NTT DoCoMo via Engadget]
All the Japanese phones get the own convoluted name (other than iPhones, I guess). My Xperia X10 is known here in Japan as the SO-01B. The Galaxy Nexus is the SC-04D. These are both docomo designations. The other carriers do similar things, though.
