Japanese cell phone giant KDDI has just released a new handset from Sharp for business users that immediately brings to mind visions of the ruggedized Panasonic Toughbook laptop series. The E06SH is built like a tiny tank and boasts a number of features including a waterproof body and fingerprint authentication.

In addition to its sturdy hull, the unit also features a barcode scanner, remote locking and unlocking of the phone, WiFi, GPS navigation, and a 2 megapixel camera. Pricing has not been disclosed, but if you lean more towards “sci-fi tricorder” design rather than the new slim smartphones, this phone is as sexy as it gets.
