Until today, Panasonic had been keeping their high end Android phones to themselves in the Japanese market. That's about to change with the advent of the Eluga. Panasonic announced the new device today in Hamburg for release some time in March. We're promised that the phone will be waterproof and dustproof, which is great for all those times that you have your phone out in a dusty rain storm.

Here's a list of the key specs:

• 4.3" qHD display
• NFC
• 8GB of onboard memory
• 8MP camera
• Dual-core 1Ghz processor
• Android 2.3

All in all, the device sounds like a fantastic device...for
