O2 Germany had suddenly stopped its sales of the stylish Toshiba TG01 smartphone. The unofficial news was that there had been an unexplained virus doing its rounds, because of which this whole mess occurred.
Anyhow, things seem fine now, as the Windows Mobile/Snapdragon running smartphone is back for sale on the carrier, at least online. We still do not know if retail shops have restocked themselves yet. We’ll let you posted on how things progress on this front.
Here is an unboxing video of Toshiba’s touchscreen 3G smartphone, running Windows Mobile 6.1, the Toshiba TG01 for Orange. Powered by Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon QSD2850 chipset, it is very slim, just 9.9 mm and comes with a large 4.1″ WVGA display.
The new Orange TG01 also includes Toshiba’s HDTV technologies as well as up to 32GB microSDHC card slot support, Wi-Fi, GPS and A-GPS. Check out the unboxing video right here at PhoneArea.net.
The new Toshiba TG01 smartphone is truly just for you guys who simply love super-slim, super-sexy, pieces of advanced technology. Powered by the Snapdragon chipset, the TG01 is one fast devil at 1Ghz clock speeds, with a fantastic 256NV RAM and a stunning 4.1 WVGA touchscreen display. Other specs of this drop-dead gorgeous babe include WiFi, 3.2MP camera, GPS and 3G data connectivity. All this powerful stuff packed into a device that’s merely 10mm thick! Can you beat that?
This phone actually featured during the MWC at Barcelona in February this year and we’ve been waiting to hear more about it since then. While those in the US will have to wait a little more for the Toshiba TG01, the UK is far luckier, coz it’ll be getting this Windows Mobile 6.1 run smartphone just next week.
London will see a lot of interesting activity on this front on July 9. Maybe this company will stage a summer launch of this ultra-thin stunner then. Let’s wait and watch for this one. For now, drool away at the hands-on video of the Toshiba TG01 smartphone that follows.
Toshiba recently revealed its plans of shutting down its production of cell phones in Japan. The company has stated that it will stop all manufacturing in its home country and outsource production to China, instead.
The company additionally said that its present workers will be transitioned to other jobs within the company. Toshiba makes other consumer electronics, such as TVs and DVD players. Toshiba cited a huge and unexpected drop in sales as the reason behind its decision.
