Toshiba enters the mobile phone race with the TG01

Touch Screen mobile phones are all the rage at the moment, so it didn’t surprise us when Toshiba announced that they were wading into the market with the Toshiba TG01. We have to say that it is not a bad first effort from Toshiba as they look to take their experience from the TV industry and pack it into a tiny mobile device. The Toshiba TG01 sports a massive 4.1 inch screen which is larger than that of the Tmobile G1 and even bigger than the newly announced LG Arena. This in theory means that making the best use of your media applications will be a much more enjoyable experience for those using the mobile phone.
Another selling point for the TG01 is the fact that it comes with the fastest processor of any mobile phone to date. At 1 GHZ it should make light weight of any applications that you are trying to run. The TG01 is based on the Windows Mobile platform, which according to Stuff won’t be to everybody’s taste. However they have done some considerable customisation and this allows you to fine tune th OS to suit your needs.
So what are the TG01’s Competitors? Well the already mentioned LG Arena KM900 is one and the other would be the mighty Nokia N97, set for release in July of this year. WE are hoping to get our hands on all of these handsets in the very near future so that we can bring you a fair review to provide you with a clear winner. In the meantime, check out this video of the TG01in action
