Above is the NEC N704iμ, successor to the (you guessed it) N703iμ, claimed by its maker to the world’s slimmest W-CDMA handset at just 11.4mm thick/ thin. That’s pretty impressive for any handset, never mind a flipper. (W-CDMA forms the basis of the UMTS high-speed 3G standard that’s used by some European and Japanese operators.)
Shipping now in Japan via NTT DoCoMo, the 90-gram N704iμ’s other claim to fame is that its battery boasts an incredible standby time of almost a month (690 hours). There’s no word from NEC on screen resolution but we’re guessing it’ll be QVGA (240 x 320 pixel). Other specs include a 1.3MP camera on the back plus a smaller one on the inside for video calling. Pretty sweet — but unlikely to see European shores.
