NEC MEDIAS E-04C takes the crown of the world's thinnest Android phone

Leaked on a Japanese blog two days before its official release on the NTT DoCoMo netowrk, the NEC MEDIAS E-04C has one very impressive feature - it is the thinnest smartphone to date, with just 0.3" (7.7mm) of waistline.

And it is just days since the thinnest smartphone in the worlsd - the Samsung Galaxy S II - was officially announced, and weeks after we previewed the previous thinnest - the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc - so wake us up when we can fold these around styli.

The device is running Android 2.2 Froyo, and still manages to pack in a 4" display, as well as an NFC chip for mobile payments and the like. There aren't any other spec details at this point but this leaked booklet of the NEC MEDIAS E-04C, but February 24th is fast approaching, so we will know more at the grand unveiling in Japan. From the booklet below it certainly seems that there will be both a black and a white version of the world's thinnest smartphone.

If this is what's hiding inside NTT DoCoMo's Spring portfolio, there are sure to be other surprises that we will reveal to you as they get unveiled.
