Panasonic 3G Tropical 823P Waterproof GPS Cell Phone #3G 823P Set For Softbank Release#

Panasonic have unveiled initial details concerning their up and coming
waterproof Tropical 823P 3G cell phone which looks set to go head to
head with the likes of Fujitsu's F103i, F705i and F706i waterproof cell
phones to which Panasonic's 823P, it has to be said, bares a somewhat
striking, though we don't doubt wholly coincidental resemblance.

At the time of writing details are extremely scarce, however, what is
known is that Panasonic's 3G Tropical 823P, which measures in at a mere
50 x 108 x 17.6 and weighs 132g, comes with a 3' QVGA display, a 2
megapixel camera, integrated Bluetooth, GPS, HSDPA and 1Seg support.

Set for a release on June 28 in Japan via Softbank, the Panasonic 3G
Tropical 823P will be made available in pure white, cherry pink, marine
blue and lime green colours though neither pricing details or the scope
of the 823P's waterproofing (Fujitsu's F706i with built-in TV
functionality, for example, is known to be capable of withstanding
depths of up to 3 meters for periods of up to 30 minutes) has been
provided at this stage.
