I dont see this going to a GSM carrier truthfully.
This phone seems like something Verizon would drop especially since it has a 0.8inch internal display which is crappy. Making it just like the Voyager from Verizon.
Why cant they just make it a slider phone with a Snapdragon. I mean that’s a sexy phone that i can say just about anyone will buy considering it has a snapdragon putting up there as one of the fastest touchscreen Windows Mobile phones.

the average Japanese flip has a 3″ screen… coincidentally (or not) with those same dpi specs of 800×480 due to their mobile TV resolution standard.

as for the rest of you commenters, did any of you bother to read the post? the specs listed dont match the photo. duh. the photo is of the TG01… a 4″ screened slate running winmo and powered by snapdragon. the specs they included with their FCC filing was for a clamshell phone… a completely different phone.

lastly, just because it passes thru the FCC doesnt mean it will be released for sale stateside. FCC approval is simply required for operation in the states. many japanese domestic phones are FCC approved for travelers to use but arent sold here. and if you ask me, the specs on the clamshell listed sounds like a toshiba JDM phone that’s just being cleared for use stateside and not for sale… a JDM “worldphone”, if you will.

Can’t wait for the TG01. I’m worried they won’t have the 3G radios for North America specifically the 850 Band. Toshiba, make this for the US right off the bat.

Maybe the pic is right, its not a clam, and the extra display is on the back to display basic info while on speaker…if it automatically goes to speaker when flipped like touch pro 2. Meh, just a thought.

If I’m not mistaken, I’ve looked at those pics, that looks like a touchscreen candybar phone. Not a flipphone.

Looks like a nice phone. It turns me on almost as much as the NXlabs ad. Ha.

Wouldn’t a clamshell with a 3 inch screen be awfully big when opened?
