Couple of weeks still to wait for Mobile World Congress and Toshiba announced its new mobile phone, which, according to manufacturer “will make a revolution in the mobile world”. What are the reasons for such high-profile statements?
Toshiba TG01 is a ultraslimm 9.9 mm gadget with 4.1″ touch screen. As explained by the representatives of the company, Toshiba has invested in the display all successes they had in the field of television.
The heart of the phone will become the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a frequency of 1 GHz (which would make it the fastest on the market). Toshiba TG01 will have support for HSDPA 3G, GPS or A-GPS and will have a slot for microSD cards.
Memory of the phone is surprisingly low for a revolutionary device – only 512 MB. Accelerometer is not available, but there is a firm G-sensor, which responds to rotation of the device around the central axis.
From the interesting features it is also worth noting built-in support for DivX and Flash. Operating system of Toshiba TG01 will be Windows Mobile 6.1, though it would be much better newest version 6.5.
Based on preliminary specifications, the device may seem somehow strange. But we don’t rush and leave conclusions until MWC 09 in Barcelona, where we’ll get more details.
