Wow, this was a surprise! The impressive Toshiba TG01 with 4.1-inch display, Windows Mobile 6.5 and superfast Snapdragon processor is now available to buy on prepay!
The previous mobile phone deals available were all pay monthly, but the super smartphone is an Orange exclusive and can now be snapped up for a mere £149.
Promising ‘a mobile revolution,’ the TG01 is a Windows Mobile powered-handset offering a jazzed-up user interface on top in the vein of the Samsung Omnia or the HTC Touch HD’s TouchFLO 3D.
Actually, the TG01 has a lot in common with HTC’s latest, offering a slender 4.1″ wide handset that is a mere 9.9″ thick.
The VGA screen takes up most of that real estate on the front of the screen, whilst the new Qualcomm Snapdragon chip inside offers the kind of processing grunt to make the TG01 more than a match for the iPhone…on paper at least!
Med Jeewoth, Toshiba’s country manager for UK and Ireland, did the honours, claiming the company have taken their expertise in TV and applied it to mobiles, and they also “listened to what users want – great speed, and the interaction of a touchscreen, but more importantly you want it to look really slick, very slim and very sexy.”
3G connectivity and built-in GPS are all standard, as as support for both Flash and DivX for all your multimedia needs!
