i think toshiba TG01 is rubbish it dosent work propally my phone was on charge all night and it last 2 hours i recommend you dont get this phone

da stormtrooper25

ridiculous,insane price tag! That price only suits 4 veteran flagships,such as nokia E90. N for current flagships,such as galaxy nexus,iphone 4s,etc Too many drawbacks,tooo many!

the main drawbacks about this phone are having lack of capacitive screen, less battery capacity,less responsive motion sensor, problems of gps, otherwise the phone is excellent its hardware and steardy scratch proof body is beyond compare,only nokia hardware can be compared, no effect of minor jerks shocks. my phone felled hundred of times but no damage done. it also got drenched twice but still working. responsive touch, excellent graphics are advantages. the wm 6.5 was only os at that time we can also change it to android, wp7 other problem can be solved by flashing better clean rom by visiting different forums like xda.

those who have bought this phone should get a refund. its rubbish terrable and unreliable. it restarts for no apparent reason and when u want to close a programme u have to go to task manager... and theres no other way. buy this phone if its very cheap and your desperate to HAVE a phone but if u have a choice leave this one last!

You can use Microsoft marketplace and Freewarepocketpc.net have one.

found solution for "network massages" problem it is because of cell broadcast, disable or delete the settings from start menu> setting> personal> phone> channel after pressing channel button it will show different channels, from menu button below opt for delete all and press ok now restart the phone. you will no longer receive "network massages" from different cell towers. after doing this i observed that i got rid of unwanted broadcast cell tower massages, and my battery life is doubled i am satisfied with this phone now rj

using for 1 and half years still could not find solution for problems in this tg01 - poor battery backup 9 to 10 hours only even with power saving settings & without using internet multimedia etc -unwanted network massages which always pop up causing trouble using interface -unfriendly finger controls especially small scroll bars -frequent connectivity problems with pc very difficult to connect with pc -very small title bar -while calling we cannot brouse the phone hope all these problems will be solved in wp7 rom for this phone

I have had this phone for an average time period and i have to say it is the WORST phone i have EVER had. The Windows is great yes and its upgrade-able to 2011 because i have upgraded it to that but its battery life is appalling, honestly it doesn't last 6 hours for me, and when i charge it i have problems turning it on and in the end it manages to turn on with no battery. Also you can only have the background shown on the picture as any others you choose cause significant battery loss. This phone is not efficient in any way but when it does work it is very technical and is a wondrous piece of tech, it's just a shame it can't be like that the whole of the time, then it would be a model phone. Also the camera quality is shit at times but brilliant at others although the slightest movements will blur your image, amazingly the action shots that it actually has a very good, it takes them very well and they look great but its not very good at stills (and yes i have got my camera settings right) overall, its a brilliant phone WHEN IT WILL TURN ON!!!! There's my little opinion for you, take it into consideration if you are buying this! Hope it helps x

AnonD-19902

You need to have the last NetFrame installed in your pc; connect your phone through Mobile Device in Windows and open the *.exe file you want to install (just click as usual on it). From there, you will be guided through the whole process (be careful that you will be asked on phone side to allow the install of the program - just say yes and let it to do the job). Also, pay attention: if the *.exe file was not made as a *.cab install, you won't be able to install it on your phone! It will give you the usual error: "the file is not a 32/64 bit", usually for a normal windows install. Hope this will help.

Dear TG01 users. Try purchase mugen power battery.(2600mAh / 3600mAH). It's worth getting the external battery. i've tried one and it get me 3-4 days per charge. Guess what!With maximum full use with internet and calls plus texting. No Joke! Zeon_ori

CH_Richie

I bought this phone yesterday (second-hand), and Im still amazed of the screen size (and You cant actually feel it in your pocket, because its so slim). It came with WM6.5, and is working pretty well for me (after a bit of personalisation). Very good phone at a very good price. I still have 2 questions : 1. how do you plug in usb sticks to it (as Ive read that its possible) - You need special stick for it (Yes Im a mobile analphabet)? :) 2. Is there a flash player 9 (or equivalent that can play FP9 required stuff) for WM 6.5 ? If so, what should I search for on the net? Thx in advance.

Its Huge, Well The Screen is Huge, yet its Very Slim, Performance is Great, Get rid of the Orange Branded Rom, You can either have Windows 6.5 or Android On this Mobile, From XDA Developers. Its ALso Very Cheap to Buy Compared to similar Phones, My Friends With iphones Cant believe how large the Screen is.

Addy

After Reading all the Bad Reviews About this Mobile, I thought i'll Give it a Try & Find Out My Self, at £70 Used, thats Cheap for a Mobile with this Good Spec, Mine Had Windows Mobile 6.5 & SPB Mobile Shell Installed, I think Its Fantastic, Reliable & Fast & Didn't Experience any of the Problems other People Had, The Battery Got me Through 2 Days with Moderate Use, Make sure you set it on Power Saver Mode though,But I Normally Charge Every Night Anyway. Great Phone, & Quiet Cheap to Buy Now.

ola

Just Bought One of these Mobiles Today, Wow, Its Got a Massive Screen, Works Great,has Some Nice Features, Its Very Thin too, Make sure you've Upgraded to Windows 6.5 Rom & SPB Shell Interface, Because the Orange Branded Rom Is Drab & Slow.

NO! Why? Because the WP7 OS is completely different from Windows Mobile. IF you want a WP7 phone, you have to buy one. In my opinion go for HTC. They are good! :)

I might be reading another phone, as I have no end of trouble with mine usually due to battery life. I am on an contract phone and it is my 6th , battery life is rubbish especially when use it as a satnav (a couple of hours), it design and features are good when it works. My battery only last 1 day as its best. But texting is easy. Having repeat problem of low ring tones, have to use wireless head set with it. Looking forward to end of contract.

ilovewinmo

This is an absolute beauty! No phone will ever be this thin with a giant snapdragon within! It's speed and size amazes me - big, but sleek! Those who are moaning about it not being good - it is because you don't have any know-how of windows phones. You have never tweaked anything! If that is the case stick to Nokia or baby iPhone - those are the phones for girls. Windows is a man's phone. If you are a man you can take risks and is ready to spend couple of hours to make the phone customized, go for TG01, you won't regret. I own 3 of them alreadya and can't get enough! Watching movies, listening, browsing, edit word documents, making presentations, excel spreadsheets, remote desktop sharing - EVERYTHING IS SO WONDERFULLY FAST. Flash a new rom - ORANGE HAS MESSED up the software by editing it. Just remove the rom - flash it. Go visit XDA website- for very easy manual on how to flash and also to choose a ROM that will suit you!! I hope you will love this phone soon :) BUY IT - IT'S WORTH ALL THE PENCE YOU PUT IN!

Mike

It is a great phone with more advanced options, but it is not for user with low level knowledge of WM. One thing that could be batter is base software package. Advanced user can simply make personal look of phone.

I have ad this phone for nearly a year now, It's a good phone, but could be better. The single-touch screen is now outdated and texting is a problem on the phone. For me the battery life is ok whenever active sync is turned off. I think I can go for 3 days before it dies without charge. I would recommend this phone to people who don't 'need' a phone for texting, although that said, sometimes the call quality leaves alot to be desired too...

Worst phone I've used for a long while, the specs look great but the unresponsive resistive touch screen, the awful windows operating system make it a chore to use. I had a chance to play with the Desire and an iphone recently and this phone isnt even in the same ball park as those phones in terms of useability. There is some efforts being made in porting Android to it over at xda developers which may make it a worthwhile second hand purchase one day, but it is still in its infancy and will take a long time to be fully functional. Resale value of this phone - thanks in large to the Orange shops in the uk selling them off at £150 at christmas is less than £100 - I paid nearly £300 for this a year ago so that is really poor! Avoid like the plague I say. There are miles better phones out there, especially the Android phones. Toshiba's loyalty to Windows Mobile is a mystery!

I have just returned my iPhone 4, got a refund and replaced it with the TG01. The original ROM (6.1) was awfull. Then i updated to the official Toshiba/Orange 6.5 and it was a little better. And finally i loaded a XDA Cooked Win Mo 6.5.5 ROM and now it's really great ! 6.5.5 is really finger-friendly, and this ROM is more stable, faster, more reactive; has a better sound.

I have the Windows Mobile 6.5 Version of TG01 for 4 Months and I think it is a GREAT PHONE. The display is huge and very responsive. It is one the fastest Phone whit WM 6.5 on the market today. It works well with Navigation software and surfing on the Internet is a preasure. I dont like the short battery life - only 1 day and the fakt that it sometimes hangs up when I thy to use Opera or Googlemaps. I think that all modern Smartphones have such issues but only a few have such advantages (1GHz CPU; 4,1" Display, nice desing) so I think TG01 is a really nice phone. And dont forget - It is the first Handy EVER to have 1GHz CPU - so it already has a place in the history books.

I too gained the phone as a replacement. I would rather have been sent a homing pigeon, a pen and paper or a Nokia 3210. I want to destroy it, so I can send it back. Livid.

UNHAPPY

I was given this phone by orange,as a replacement and I have not had it for more than a day yet!! It is the worst phone I have ever had. It constantly connects up to the internet. The back is difficult to put on. It's too big. It does not have a stylus attached to it. AWFUL phone DO NOT BUY!!!! I would rather have an old fashioned brick phone!!

rabiul

up date it as option with samsung i9000 galaxy s,Htc Hd2,sony ericsson experia 10, not its design nice designed phone ever i seen.

Major Bloodnock

Today my fifth phone turned up. It's not even coming out of the box. I don't know how to cook ROM's and should not have to anyway. Battery life is appalling. Its like watching the fuel gauge on a V8 car suck the contents out of a fuel tank at speed. For me all the listed issues on this thread are real. I have suffered them all. I want my money back. Come Monday morning I am cancelling my direct debit and Orange will then have to wake up to the fact I mean what I say. I am a very unhappy Orange customer. Anyone got Vodafone's number?

remus

I got this phone a few months ago from orange uk(a very good price)First impression?Very BAD,slow ,not very responsive,average camera,very unreliable motion sensor.crashed a lot.But I unlocked it and changed the rom(cooked one)and it made a huge difference!I'm using it on 3 uk and when using Opera on good signal area it is amazingly fast!!!The motion sensor is responsive now and after installing a little piece of free software I can use Igo8 (which in my opinion is better than tom tom) .Spb shell looks and performs very well and the quality of calls has improved a lot.It looks like the tg01 is a reliable piece of hardware but the ORANGE ROM makes it useless,so if you buy one,better change the rom !

David

As a pocket computer it lives up to the specs, although it is completely hobbled by the utterly useless Windows Mobile. Even with SPB Mobile Shell running on it, which was the only way I could find to make it remotely user-friendly, the cruddy little interface, designed for styluses, not fingers, is always lurking to get in your way just when it is most inconvenient. If you have experience of using a multi-touch capacitive screen the TG01 will infuriate you. Granted, the massive real estate and high resolution are fantastic for movies, the internet and email but it is grimly unresponsive; especially so with a screen protector fitted. Answering calls can be a joke, with the user reduced to frantically swiping at the screen to answer while Windows tries to wake up. When you finally do manage to get it to respond (or, more usually, have to call back) the call quality tends to start off more or less acceptable and then deteriorate rapidly. Calls are frequently dropped and with every one of the four replacement handsets which Orange have foisted upon me, the person at the other end starts complaining within a minute or so that my speech is being cut up so badly they cannot make out what I am saying. I have resorted to using a five-year old Motorola which is clear as a bell, so go figure. Conclusion: Great as a pocket-sized internet tablet but in twenty-five years of mobile phone use I have never had such a dog, such a lemon, such a massive pile of excrescence as this phone. AVOID AT ALL COSTS AND *DO NOT* ALLOW ORANGE TO REPLACE ANY PHONE WITH THIS ONE. I have heard from the fellow delivering my many replacement phones that this is what they are attempting to do with all their unused and justifiably unloved TG01's. You have been warned.

dave

very good phone if you know what you are doing, i got mine in the post yesterday and withing 3 hours i cooked me own rom to debrand and fix some common bugs, lets face it with all phones they all have issues which are man made, so man can fix them simply!!! [email protected]

Richard

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE - You have been warned. I am on my third from Orange and all phones have suffered from static noises every minute or so which makes me inaudible and winds up my customers no end! Nothing wrong with WM6.5 it is a vast improvement over 6.1 and works well, unfortunately the actual phone doesn't! In addition to the static noises I have just lost all sounds from my phone like one of the other posts mentions. Do yourself a favour and avoid hours on the phone with your operator complaining and battling to get a new replacmeent model that is of similar spec - buy a different phone! Richard

Bob Green

I am on my THIRD body since Feb 2010. All 3 have come up with the same faults. The phone gets a fault and will no longer make any sounds or vibrate even though these features are enabled. Result - missed calls and out of date texts. The only way to resolve the issue is to fully re-boot the phone, battery off is best. The other really irritating thing is the time it takes to answer the phone - 8-10 seconds before it sorts itself out enough for the screen swipe function to work - result more missed calls. Orange (my provider) will only replace the phone like for like untill I have logged the same fault at least three times !!!!!!!!! Am waiting for my fourth handset as I write. Advice - DON'T GET A TG01

nueloc

you can not compare this phone with HD2 because they are different generations of smartphones the tg01 is more than OK - windows ROM is a terrible choice for it, some guys are cooking custom roms just to get rid off the wm 6.5 and i'm using 6.5.5 for 2 weeks now with no problems - voice clarity much better - gps - flawless - internet over wifi or mobile excellent - battery life improved 24 hours flat - much faster touch response etc.

Major Bloodnock

I am on my second body of the Toshiba TG01. Its the worst phone I have ever owned. I had it as an upgrade since February. People I talk to can't hear me, They always sound crackly. The replacement will now not sync with the PC, so all my contacts are locked on the pc. The Bluetooth on the PC cannot find the phone. The battery life is abysmal. I have to charge the thing up twice a day. The internet connection is ok, but the adobe flash player cannot open some sites as its not compatible. Trying to download a better version does not work. Very very dissapointed. Wanted a HTC HD2 but was talked into taking this by Orange as the spec seemed the same. I think its time I went to Vodaphone.

babak

this is an amazing phone. i have attached my usb keyboard and mouse to it.. and they work perfectly well. you can also connect your usb mem stick to it.. and it will read and transfer the files no problem from your usb stick to the phone and visa versa.. i have also installed a software that can use the GPS without using the data packets from the provider.. all i do is go to google maps, find where i want to go, and write down the co-ordinates of the destination... then input it in the phone and it tells me which direction to go and how far and how long with the present speed.. unfortunately i dont have any maps.. but for my purposes with my bicycle .. it is perfect.. i totally recommend this phone.

christio

cool stuff..can i promoted this product and your site on my blog (Indonesia)? thx

mick

Awful - would be brilliant if it all worked, I mean I want people to be able to hear me it is a phone. Its windows mobile so it would be nice if the usb - activesync or Mobile device ctr worked , and I could transfer files. Crashes - try running Google maps twice without resetting in between, sometimes notice it rebooting when sitting on the desk and the splash screen comes up. Battery life, dont make me laugh. It wont work with tomtom. somthing disabled - check forums im on my 5th one now & stuck in contract. Orange have withdrawn this phone for some reason

jayrtom

I have this phone and I am absolutly satisfied with it. Super fast, Super thin. And with the price range there's no other to compare with! The only downside I see it's the camera and the lack of flash but, seriously, is anybody using its's phone as a real camera for taking vacations shots? Don't believe it.. If you need the camera to upload pics to social networks, the 3.2 mpx is more than enough

nueloc

i own the phone - i'm using it every day tried an usb mouse on it and an usb mem stick, i don't have a usb keyboard but i think it might work as well. despite it's 4 inch screen is much pocket friendly that i expected.

tictactaylor

It has a virtual d-pad, you can bring it to life by a vertical stroke on screen, also doubles as a virtual mouse pad. For a resistive screen, it's VERY sensitive. Can anybody tell me if you can use a USB keyboard using the USB adapter provided?

tictactaylor

Do you actually own this phone? A lot of people comment upon speculation. This phone as a multi-media device is excellent. Ok not too hot as a phone as call quality and speaker loudness are a little below par, but it's very slim despite it's overall size it's not bulky. The visual quality is fantastic, it's a darn fast phone too, try need for speed underground and throw your psp away! The audio quality through headphones could send you deaf with audible pleasure. Core player as standard ditto office. And for those within the uk only 129 pounds on prepay. It's a must have, the snapdragon processor is superb. Buy buy buy!

i have this ppc for 6 months now and i can say that is a good piece of hardware - is good on the internet, Gps works like a charm, big display for vdeos and browsing, smooth touch with spb mobile, only if the battery was bigger

Marko

This is the best phone that i have ever had. TG01 + SPB and Windows Mobile 6.5 i should recomend it to everybody.

Anonymous

Got this as it had a great spec. Then it arrived. Need to use the stylus as I have big fingers - no port. USB Micro socket at the side. Reset button under the rear cover - given how much this phone crashes, that is a real pain. Very soft, hard to hear, crackle and static on a call. Random freezes. Crashes during a call. Runs windows mobile 6.5 which I like, but should have gone for a mature phone manufacturer (read HTC) On my 3rd handset, negotiating to get a phone that will *actually* make a phone call. So dissapointed...

Hanns

I bought my TG01 on Ebay, it's GREAT, everything works as it should. It has a lot of SPB software on it, and also Navmii Sat. Nav. I don't think the previous owner was happy with it, or why sell? But I am. I also love Windows 6.5, and all the Windows knockers (be it mobile or normal), can go take a running jump. Before this I had a HP Ipaq HW 6915 with Windows 5, which was also great, but it was time for an update.

Iggynig

The specs for this one could do with being updated, the UI is much better now than the one on the original release. However, as with any windows phone the only way to get a good user experience is to install SPB Mobile Shell which removes the standard (always flawed) software and replaces it with a much smoother, easier to use UI

phils0

This is a great phone, (when it works properly). I on my third one now, it keeps freezing up and you have to remove the battery to re-boot it. and when you try to connect to the internet, it keeps sending error reports back. and the battery life is rubbish.

jaybo79

it is also avail in white lol

shala

just a suggestion it will be so cool if it has different colours dont u think it will make it more attractive

Jaybo79

HAd this phone for about 3 weeks now after previously using the iphone 3gs. Yes its bigger than said iphone but my god is it better :). Love the fact that I can plug my pen drive into it and watch AVI's straight away with Core Player and also I CAN actualy bluetooth files too and from the device. Good work (for a change) Toshiba.

too big, navigation around the device is difficult becuase of no Dpad, plus resistive touch screen, no hole to place stylus, texting is not easy....gave up!

Looks good

Looks like a good GPS app. I would be interested to see how well it worked:

Peter

I think your right, it might get the 6.5.3/6.6 upgrade. It looks like MS have really decided to get away from 'windows mobile 6.x', which is reflected in the PR spin of the new trade mark 'Windows Phone x'. The mobile phone market is so damn competitive at the moment; iPhone, Android, Symbian, Windows Phone, MeeGo.. I don't actually have a TG01, but I was very tempted because of the hardware relative to value. It would be great if Android could be hacked to work, but I'm not going to play the waiting game :-)

Derek

@Peter It will not come as a upgrade. Windows 7 Mobile is a brand new bulid from the ground up. It would be like having to put a new OS on the phone. I just don't think that they are going to mess with it. They have already said that they are not making a windows mobile 7. (notice I switched the 7, that is very important.) If i am correct, starting now, give microsoft about one more year of support for winmo6.5 and they will just give up on it. But that is my two cents. Take it or leave it.

this phone is huuuuggggeeeee!!!!!

Peter

No joy with Android, maybe it will happen in the future! Will Windows Phone (Windows Mobile 7) be a free upgrage? ... Bloody should be :-) Incredible hardware, the Height/Width aren't much of an issue the main this is it's slim.

Hi v57, Could you please share with us where and how did you changed the OS to Android. Would really appreciate that. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi all , i have this phone, some say its good some that is great and some say its rubbish , but as i am using it i can say its a great device , with no problems at all. I would like to ask people that know , how is it possible to go on android and where can it be done? Thank you

Battery poor,no trade in value,phone keypad locking cant delete it.I wish hadn't purchased it.Lumbered now!!!

this phone is garbage... the UI that toshiba made its not stable.. lag very bad with a 1ghz processor... waste of money....would not recommend to anyone....

Sounds interesting Android working on TG01, but surely the Tosh has no built in digital compass? Android apps take advantage of that. Surely, an HTC Android phone would be better. I think TG01 is good (well with winmo 6.5) as it stands. Cupcake 1.5 looks nice on Android, but windows has it's own advantages too. I think Toshiba have made a first rate phone, very much a first for them. It needs a makeover cosmetically, maybe other colours and perhaps other networks within the UK a chance (apart from Orange) to retail it, 3 would be great (as Orange are famous giving 2.5g sims on payg YOU HAVE TO ASK for a 3g sim, how daft!).

hi guys .i got this phone 1 mounth ago .u bilive it or not but i change os to android. and afterthat u can see how its work its awsome. briliant.now this is a monster. only 1 disapointmet and that is camera. so evrybudy try this os and see how is work.

I have not noticed any problems with pieces coming off back cover of TG01. However, i have experienced problems in the past, Nokia 5800 for example. Contrary to manufacturer's advice, if you have a plain plastic back, like TG01, you can remove cover and wash in luke warm soapy water and allow to dry at room temperature, it is just plasic and can be cleansed as such. To remove scratches, believe it or not (however, do NOT recommend with touch screen phones), one trick that seems to work is Brasso the metal polish, is has very fine abrasives, and the chemical does not seem to cause any major damage to either plastic or mineral glass. I am sure the manufacturer's would not advise, but it seems to work.

keith

Totally agree, I've had mine for a few weeks now and love it! Will post a full review soon.

tj

£149 from Orange, why complain? Mega deal or what, let's see it now comes with WM 6.5 as standard, Office and Core Player. Have you seen the games? Snapdragon at 1Ghz and Open GL in your hand, where is the bin for that chunky PSP (only joking!). This is not a phone it's a technical marvel for the price. It is NOT Huge in your pocket actually, see it's so slim you hardly notice it unlike say a Nokia 5800. My only complaint is the mini USB port as sole connectivity with fiddly plastic cover, better to have had power headphone and USB power ports like Nokia. Compared to the T-mobile Pulse, the only other similar payg phone in the UK, well your not stuck with only as many apps fit into your phone memory, I give 11 out of 10 for this phone, if you can track one down go for it!

no orange only have the black model . but you can find the white one on amazon and it,s unlocked .. i have just had my tg01 unlocked at a massive £30 but worth it to be on three. works fine put my sim card in and it works great

I've been using this phone for about 2 weeks now and I've found some more problems with this phone. I was trying to wipe grease/sweat marks off the back of the phone and I started to notice little tiny bits coming off and it was the phones back itself being rubbed off. Now when i look at the back in light and at certain angles, I can notice all the marks where its been rubbed off. This phone also seems to get quite warm, mainly with Wifi use. Also, every once in a while, when I get a text and try to view it, the phone freezes and requires a reset/battery removal. Im finding that my disappointment is growing with this phone and Im beginning to think that maybe that I shouldnt have give orange £149 for it...

errfff

i have seen this phone in the orange shop.it may be a good phone but if your looking for a phone you can fit in your pocket this is not it.Its HUGEE!

Finally a phone better than iphone htc and blackberry

ty for the info brynn checked that site and they do a monster 3000+mah battery for tg01 on that mugen site epic so if 1000mah standard battery lasts 1 day average the mugen battery will last 3-4 days woop YOU LOSE IPHONE :)

brynn

I cant find out what colour either..

brynn

The site says the 1300 milliamp will fit normally but the other 2 sizes have a new back for tg01..My e52/e72 have 1500milliamp batterys and the mugen one is 1800milliamp and fits fine in both devices but the larger batterys come with new covers...I have got bigger batterys for n95-1 and n96 and both had new back covers and none interfered with camera lens..

MONK

another lazy question do orange uk sell tg01 in white? or just black?

MAX

veryyy loww not buy wm6 slow

monk

sorry brynn for a stupid question but the extended batterys for the tg01 are they the same size as the 1000mah default battery as the case would have to be altered if larger?

J

Well in my last post I said I would hate for the screen to get scratched, and its happened. Don't know how, as I was as careful as possible. I've ordered some screen protectors and a rubber/leather case for it. I checked back on some reviews and they say that the screen is "scratch prone". The scratch isn't really noticeable unless I tilt it into the light. I'm quite disappointed that it got scratched so easily. I've read about some polish called Displex, does anyone know if it will work on this phone?

Lucian

I've had the TG01 for about 2 months and must say it's a great device. The initial experience with Windows Mobile 6.1 and the Toshiba UI was certainly not impressive: there's not a single trace of usability in Toshiba's home screen. Fortunately, a few weeks ago I got a notice from Orange Romania, telling me I can upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5 for free. And that changed everything! The new OS is absolutely lovely and, with a few customization apps (I recommend Home Screen Customizer from the Windows Marketplace) , I got exactly what I was expecting: a responsive and customizable phone. Oh, and something really annoying: the camera has no flash and I didn't find a way to turn the shutter sound off. All in all: great job, Toshiba (and Microsoft for delivering a more than decent mobile OS - at last!)

There seems to be a renewed interest in Tg01 & i am glad,too many wrote it off without giving it a chance of updates like they do with nokia etc..

Going to buy this friday orange prepay,, i will give it a go and see how good it is.

J

Got this phone on Friday from the orange shop for £149 incl £10 credit. For this price its a real bargain. Everything works great; WiFi, GPS, Accelerometer, all of the windows programs... The only bad thing is that the battery lasts about 2 days at the most. An 8GB Toshiba brand MicroSDHC is included, so this phone really is a bargain! I think it would of been nice if Toshiba had given a pouch/case with the phone because I would hate for the beautiful 4.1" screen to get scratched/damaged.

brynn

Can i unlock it from orange like using nemesis software suite,,would like to try the fone but hate orange.

Rachit

The phone is excellent except for the part that battery life sucks... If you are too lucky it will last for a single day.. UI is awesome and 1GHz processor makes it the king ...

Thing is not sensitive touchscreen, tiny buttons and crashes often (it has a reset button on back) and also really old version of windowls and bulk.

Happy with the phone, got the upgraded unit with win 6.5 installed (nice) with the much improved front end, came with office mobile editor, orange maps, and a good set of apps, but navigation takes some getting used to but stick with it. Dislikes: Battery life. Standby time at best is around 24 hours, talk time around 1 hour,( I set my phone to power saving). Manual is on a CD and is for win 6.1 so the navigation/functions do not match I�ve complain to Orange about the phones microphone, when talking to someone they complain that they cannot hear me, that included the support chap, it was so bad he rang me back on the land line. Orange sending out a new unit, so I�ll see if the battery life (or lack off) and the microphone are just a flukes. I�ll let u know......

Hi. I have had a TG-01 for 3 weeks and after 2 weeks i put it up for sale. But, i came across a software upgrade to 6.5 and i honestly tell you... it feels like a different phone. It changes everything: poor sound, crashes, restarts, everything. I love it now, i really do.

chris

When I bought this phone it was shipped with Windows mobile 6.1. This appears to be the cause of lots of crashing and freeze ups and frequent self re-booting, as the upgrade to 6.5 solves all these at a stroke.

Me again, 2nd replacement has same fault thats 3 phones from orange. The most important thing here is to test the phone by listening to the call quality for 2 or 3 minutes as soon as you get it. Must be from the other phone in the call not the tg01 which will sound ok. That way you can send it back within the 7 day return clause and you won't have the same wonderful experience as me. You'll never know how much grief I just saved you if you're in the market for a phone with a big screen.

The banging is present on the replacement too, Orange please test the goods before you dispatch them for the same fault as you are aiming at resolving.

Anonymous

How many people have had the problem with weird banging noises on the line heard only by the person on the other end? I currently have this issue and am waiting for a replacement from Orange. Can I be so bold as to speculate that it may be an issue with the mike circuit picking up spurious signals. Its not audible to the TG01 user. Have you had comments like "Have you got the builders in?". Threads of similar cases in forums have not been resolved at time of writing this. Is it just my phone or is it a more popular fault? Big screen good, UI not that good, plug in a usb keyboard good,plug in a usb 4 port hub with a mouse good,call quality ok/banging noise bad, camera unable to take photos unless in bright light bad, processor good, screen response not as good as iphone, delay for camera start bad. The other 5 orange phones at the same location do not register the noise of carpenters in the background. I would like this to be a settings tweak solution easily fixing it because I really like the big screen. Could have been really good. Nothe 6.5 upgrade didn't fix the banging issue unless a later release addresses it.

I have this phone for quite some time now (bought from Orange RO), and I still find it very impressive and usefull. With it's big screen, good touchscreen and fast processor even some iPhone users get impressed by this one. I didn't like the menu and for that I've installed SPB Shell 3.5 - now it looks more 'business' type, and it's also more practical. If you want some sound improvements install SRS WOW HD (you can find a special version for it on google). I heard that some larger batteries (from 1500 to 3500 mAh) will be available soon and with these some larger back covers where you can store the stylus. Overall it's a very good phone with good quality-price ratio.

Ive had the Toshiba TG01 (UK) since August now and i was very impressed by the looks and functions. It started to go operate really slow after a few months but i've upgraded to Windows 6.5 and its amazing, youtube is soooo smooth. it looks/operates more business like and im just amazed in general. I have got it in black with a black case. If you guys know anywhere where i can get a white case from pleaseeeee let me know, it would make my phone complete i think.

I commented about this phone previously and mentioned the HTC Leo now HTC HD2. Now that is what a phone should be like. HTC has the Sense UI, form the review you would never know its a WinMo phone becos of the Customisation. HTC completely gutted the WinMo OS.If Toshiba are serious about competing we would know from TG02 rumoured to be on the way by yearend. Making a phone isn't all aboutthe processor like Toshiba positioned the TG01, its about your ability to personalise any gadget you have and tthe gadget being intuitive. The only reason why iphone and the ipod are so popular is down to that.So if you are making aphone with a scrap OS as WinMo you have to put in a extra effort to make it apealing. If not you are kidding. From having a look at reviews of HTC HD2 you can see that HTC put in a lot of effort into modifying the OS. I am due for an upgrade in January, so HTC hd2 is looking like my next phone.

had phone for a week now and it is good, a small computer (lge mobile). Well worth it, no problems yet, easy to use, looks good, screen impresses everyone.

Toshiba need to do more about this phone. Thank God Competition is coming with other large screen phones most running on 1Ghz CPU. HTC Leo, Archos Android phone & LG BL40. HT are the best at customising the WinMo OS.I hope Toshiba would wkae up with improvement to TG02 ie 3.5 mm audio jack, better customised UI not the appalling STRIPES,better battery power.

simon

too fast and too good for a WinMo device, throw in a 5MB camera with xenon flash / Maemo OS software (or similar linux based (way faster) get a battery of about 1500-2000 mA and you have a winner. Due large screen/fast processor combo, battery will need some heavy backup In rest kudos for use of snapdragon processor .

The iphone 3GS battery life is also appalling. I had the N97 before that, this also has terrible battery life especially if you use the online widget features. Before that I had the Xperia which had brilliant battery life and is an all round brilliant handset. The only problem with that is the terrible Windows OS. I doubt that Bill Gates uses a device running Windows OS otherwise he would have sorted it out by now. So many great devices let down by this terrible software. I love the iphone as it is very fast and looks great and stuff. But the battery life is the only real complaint that I have about it.

Fortunately you can turn it off because standard main screen is hopeless. It looks nice on photos but it's unusable.

minuses: - battery (2-3h when watching films; ~8 on wifi; normally it works 2-3 days for me) - lack of standard buttons ("cross", "ok") ;/ (honestly...it's problem only if you really need them - ex for games) - nearly all phones have power button on top - it has on left side; stupid for me - camera without "flash" (in htc it was usable sometimes) pluses: - very fast (comparing to htc touch pro; I can watch movie in full resolution from sd card; menu works without delays, etc) - very good screen - great colors, fully readable in sun; great resolution - despite big screen it's thin and comfortable to carry - everything I forget to write here ;p btw google maps looks fantastic on it :)

strange interface

nice device. even with their virtual pad i miss having a real one.. hope the add-on of a keybord or mouse would take of that. isnt much faster booting up but once in it,....u feel the difference. and hopefully with the new winmo 6.5 will get a bit better. HATE the interface. changed it to spb shell. and no battery life. 2-3 hrs max. need a bigger one. some guys are making a 2000mah....which should cure that. didnt manage yet to install a fully gps softare that runs.overall nice little device.with the right software will really shine. (try rrince of persia? hd) and by the way...u can zoom in and out by using the buttons as the strip isnt all that responsive

whoa big screen batery life sucks

Ade

I was really going to go for this phone but changed my mind. There is no 3.5mm audio jack, battery is crap at 1000mAH even my Nokia E71 has a 1500mAH with the same thickness.The major problem with this phone is the minimal effort at customising the User Interface. The phone was positioned to compete with the Iphone but if this what Toshiba have to compete in that segment then they must be a JOKE. For the records I am not an iphone freak but I think the guys at Apple have raised the bar in the cell phone sector as you can see Microsoft are 'TYRING' to wake up from their slumber ie their archaic OS WinMo 6.1 & numerous delays to updates. I really want a widescreen phone minimum of 4 inches so there are some coming to the market soon - LG BL40 & HTC Leo.I am really looking forward to the Leo as HTC are the best at customising the UI with TouchFlo followed by Samsung.

This phone is nothing compared to their new unannounced devices, the TG02 is waterproof, has the same processor, same screen, 5MP camera, the Tg03 is also a great device, I wrote about these new mobile phones, go to the third page I think there are those infos(If you don't know about them) The problem is why they don't announce them? I am sorry they don't add camera flash. :(

I don't now about this handset. But product's price are so high. It's true that every product of Toshiba are so high priced.

Hoping to get this 'phone'? Think again. * Uncomfortable to hold, I also had problems using the blasted thing. * Windows Mobile, it's unresponsive, 1GHz processor? Big whoop, processor isn't everything, it's about the god, damn, RAM. GET IT RIGHT MANUFACTURERS * It's big, try putting it in your pocket, it's uncomfortable and fragile, I almost broke the demo version I was shown. If I can't put a phone in a place that's convenient then there's something wrong. I'm not using a bag just to put my phone in. As I said, think again.

i want to know how u installed d tf3d.... And does d fone hav a secondary camera?????

I was really looking forward to this devise but that expectation is dampened now. There are quiet some 1GHz processor smartphones coming to the market soon. The Sony Ericson Xperia 2 ( 4'screen, android os, capacitive screen & 3.5mm audio jack), rumoured HTC Leo ( 4.3'screen, WinMo 6.5,capacitive screen & 3.5mm jack), LG BL40 & Archos andriod phone ( 5' screen). Toshiba didn't do anything about customising the UI, take a look at HTC & Samsung WinMo phone , you would hardly know they are WinMo phones because the the good job done at customizing the UI. I presently use a Nokia E71 and it has a 1500mAH battery but alaso tg01 with a far bigger size has a 1000mAH battery, what crap, and then the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack messes up everything. Rumours say TG02 is scheduled for Q4 2009 maybe Toshiba would have learnt by then. Apple have definitely set the standards high with the Iphone and annual updates.

would be interesting to get HTC hero interface on :)

this phone is nonsense, so what if it got 1 GHz processor? According to reviews its no difference plus its big & ugly so Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO, here i come baby cause right now your the best windows mobile coming out (well not counting some HTC devices)!!! YIPPY!!!

dave

Had a look and a demo of the phone at the weekend and i must say what a load of rubbish its HUGE and uncomfortable to hold and ugly aswell. Not only that but the OS is slow and at times unresponsive. Stay away from it trust me

very nice phone with 1 ghz CPU...wow

I was hoping that this type of power would settle speed arguments about lag but every report ive read so far says its bad ..I was going to get g910 as its good looker with good spec and had high hopes but its terrible in use..Maybe toshiba need a third party to help them??? Just because you put a big engine in a car it does not make it the best,,its all the other components that come together to make it a good car..

Leeston

Got mine today, toshiba UI sucks balls. Ditched it and installed HTC TF3D, and an SPB alternative. Phone is fast and responsive. Battery life seems good. GPS reception is amazing, 7 sats in view indoors, my touch diamond couldn't get 1. Orientation transition isn't fast but more like 2s than 4s. Screen looks great. If you can live with the size (i can, and quite like it) i would recomend this phone. One down side is nowhere to put the included stylus, though finger operation is ok, even with large hands.

Adam

I have been looking forward to the phone since Feb when it was announced but I also knew it was a dissapointment not disaster waiting to happen as i think Toshiba can fix the problems. The first thing was the battery, only toshiba beleived that was ok was a device with 1 gHZ processor, it was as if the processor would solve all problems. You can hardly know the device has a processor that huge with its reacion time - the accerlerometer takes 4 sec to reorientate, IPHONE 3GSS with 600MHZ takes 1 sec. The 2nd problem is the lack of a 3.5mm jack , the adapter is just rubbish. From all the reviews I have seen so far, its not to encouraging, i pity the people who have bought this device now. I wonder why people rush and purchase devices before even hearing what the review is ????. I am due to get a new phone but i will wait until the right one is out . I want somethng with a large screen & Windows Mobile, so I guess I would wait until WinMo 6.5 is out in Sept, Samsung Omnia II is looking good, so if Toshiba can't fix TG01 by January then I am a Samsung phone user. I have seen WinMo 6.5 demo on Youtube and it looks impressive. Seroiusly Toshiba get your acts together, the hype for this phone was too much compared to what it can deliver.

It was a friend, and we had a good chat. I also gave a technical talk to a couple of his colleagues on how to pitch the device better and divert customers away from the niggles. They appreciated my time with them. However Orange HQ had asked the store to give detailed feedback on the popularity of the device and how many people enquired and ordered the device. Since Monday of that week only one person had phoned to ask about the TG01. Most consumers ignored it. Nobody had asked for a demo all week.

Anonymous

I work at orange and it must have been annoying having a customer demo a phone for an hour and not buy it!

abcyesn

It's Interesting that the Toshiba TG01 only has two buttons on the front - the home and the back buttons - and they look capacitative at that. The dial and hang-up buttons are implemented within the soft key area which is new in a WM device. Share your views at the site is only for TG01 users.

chris_ah1

Used this in an orange store comprehensively for 1hour. Borrowed 3GS to compare. Still to try HTC touch pro2. The TG01 was not as tight an experience as 3GS. but battery life despite 1100mah battery was more robust to use.the interface does not hide WM6.1 well and is rather slow and laggy. You must do gestures slowly. The 3GS was nippier in use and more responsive and the screen was superior for typing. The TG01 required more effort and I was far less accurate. Landscape is perfect on the 3GS for typing messages. Portrait is necessary for the TG01 due to the space bar disappearing into a small button in landscape. This however is a far superior multimedia device for vid watching. In-app performance is stellar and battery lasts longer than 3GS and the screen is beautiful. However as a business phone the 3GS will be better as an emailer due to a more responsive and accurate keyboard. Navigation is handled equally well on both devices. It is also highly pocketable due to its thickness. In short - 3GS crippled by battery life. TG01 just feels sluggish with its UI (like xperia1), but in-app performance is great and battery stronger than 3GS. Hoping HTC touch pro2 or omniaII will be better...all the devices are sadly flawed.

cool

im sure this wont get much credit, from its battery info, i think it will not give much satisfaction to the end user, there will always be battery problem.

The Phone man

Great looking phone with a terrible UI, in terms of responsiveness. It is slugging and the real 1-3 seconds pauses when thumping on icons makes one think there is a 320mhz chip rather than mighty 1000mhz snapdragon. I though the handset I tried might be a dud, so I tried another - sadly the same. A real shame.

If you just going to use your phone with the programs which come with the phone, you don't have to care about what OS are installed. But if you wanna optimize your phone for your own demands and wishes you have to think it over. Windows mobile works for me! There is a lot of programs, its easy to find settings and most utilitys works fine with it. Maybe Android is as good. I would like to try it!

Everyone has their own tastes and each OS has its pros and cons but listening to some of you guys, makes me think that the majority here are just complete babies who like throwing their teddies out of the pram if they dont get their way.

I read from the makers of the snapdragon chip used in the TG01 is conpatible with both windows and linux OS which means you can install the Android OS on it if you don't like windows Mobile Pro 6.1 that comes with it.

That may happen when they stop churning out handset after handset..They should concentrate on what public ask for and bring out handsets bugless as possible,,i think what your saying is you want good old style PDA functions with fone attached to send/recive info..I like the whole package but only nokia smartfones do that plus big video recording but far off from perfect.

You still have to keep in mind that windows mobile is more of a business type OS and not a media type OS with an eye candy GUI. However, I do agree with your opinion 100%. It seems as they make phones suited for their liking and not the consumers, but I guess they'll never take consumers' opinions and wants.

Anonymous

Yep, Windows Mobile is totally substandard. I dont know what bill gates is playing at. I think they all use Android at Windows so they havent figured out the problems with the software they create. Toshiba TG01, HTC Touch Pro 2 are all ruined by Windows. Nokia N97 is already looking dated as they are always behind the pack in these things. Samsung Omina HD is the most exciting phone out there but without the qwerty keyboard it is hard to beleive it will really suit the hardcore email/texters and users of office mobile, which includes me. I never really use my phone for calling, only for texts, emails, and internet browsing and mobile word for printing market notes. Therefore my options for a decent mobile to fulfill all these requirements is pretty limited. N97 or HTC Touch Pro really but I hate the Windows OS. Always hangs. So slow. So dull looking. I also find the resistive touchscreen sluggish. These mobile manufacturers really are not bringing any innovations to the market place now and more focussing on multimedia sets. Whereas there is a huge business mobile market. But it seems you cant have it all, style, substance, build quality, ease of use and full feature pack. When will they make a phone that does. And when will they make a touchscren phone that is really useable for texters and emailers and typers???

Be smart people. Rather than using Word, Excel and other Windows applications in to your laptop, you can use them in Windows OS phones. Be innovative, sleek and reliable. And to think of it, Toshiba TG01 had advantages: large 4.1" screen, 1ghz processor and Windows OS. MobileMaster is right (see his message), Toshiba will release top-of-the-line devices.

good job Toshiba runs Window Mobile .Symbian OS is horrendouse

Artanis

People be smart. Windows OS is recommended because of its Office applications. Rather than making documents or presentations using Word and PowerPoint, phones with Windows OS basically had it. By the way, this phone had 1 gigahertz of processor and 4.1" LCD display, an advantage for Office transactions.

Have you ever tried any other OS besides Symbian? WinMo is undeniably one of the best OS on a touch-based mobile device. I think I know why you like Symbian so much. It's because it's simple, just like your mind. Here's an idea as to how you choose phones: "Oh look, a Symbian OS phone, i'll get it, oh look 16 million color res. screen, i'll grab that too and oh look, this phone has so many "good" features which i will never learn to use but i like the sound of it so i'll get it too." It's absolutely absurd to say that a WinMo device has BAD features, unless of course, you never manage to get your hands on one, or you did but you didn't know how to operate one. Your comment makes you look like a guy without brains. I feel sorry for you,sad little guy..

I'm glad you agree with the mega pixel statement, I agree with it too... everybody keeps complaining that cameras on phones are stuck at around the 3 mega pixel mark.. they think that somehow means a useless photo.. when what it really means is size of photo.. and a photo taken with a 3.5mp camera is all the size you are ever going to need or want really on a phone.. If you want more, but a dedicated camera becuase you are pbviously a professional photographer :) Cannot wait for this phone, very excited.. those sites doing a VS iphone against this make me laugh so loud.. how can you compare?? this is a Ferrari and an iphone is a mini cooper, there is nothing to compare, this beats it hands down, not even a contest to be had.. quit with the iphone comparisons.. it's getting very pathetic now.

what are you going to do with a camera on a phone that is say 8 mega pixels? for a start.. that would be images 2000x4000 in size.. far too big to view on a mobile screen or a monitor really.. far too big to be sending in a message or an email.. plus it takes up a massive amount of space on your phone.. most people take 1600x1200 which is a good size photo and that is about 2-3 mega pixels.. it can't be more than that, that's what it is.. people just don't understand what they are talking about. What some people don't understand is this.. they have a 12mp camera.. they take a photo with it that is 1600x1200.. that is not a 12mp photo.. that is only using 2-3 mega pixels..

The best mobile hardware so far, but how about making it in Android flavor? I have had very disheartening experience with Windows Mobile, and cannot wait to lose it for good. If this thing does not ship with Android or an option to install it, I will have to look elsewhere.

Didn't you hear? the TG01 won the BlackDot Compact design category award... lol!!! Lmao!!!!

It seems to be fantastic,the best ever constructed in the world of mobiles.Any way I'd like to know when will be in shops of greece and which will be the price.In order to estimate between object and price.

I'm so loving it, I'll buy it right after it's released

Lets no forget that most manufacturer still prefer to use resistive touchscreen because you can use hand writing recognition feature which will not work on capacitive touch screen since you cant use a stylus. In China they still prefer hand writing recognition.

my toshiba 911t with 3'' wvga screen and only 780mah battery keeps 3-4days and yes,it has video recording

Wow so who cares if it had a 4.1 screen but its a resistive touchscreen witch is nothing compared to a capacitive touch screen...capacitive screens are wayyyyy better i think alot of mobile phone brands should start making all their touch screen phones with a capacitive screen...then it would be worth spending ur money...and am sick of using styles's

It's a monster phone, I like it, I hope that in the near future we will get Regza clamshell phones from Toshiba, like in JAPAN!!!

Yeah, and this phone has video option too.(I think there is a mistake in specifications)

Anonymous

even today's digital cams got video option

Hemant

I dont understand why some people r complaining abt its 4.1' big Screen size... Only because it's not easy to operate single handedly? I got Nokia E90 with 4.0' Internal Screen...but with less width size...(wish the width is little more big too) I use surfing a lot...so for Me the Big Screen Size is more Important to watch the web-sites comfortably. I think Big Screen with High Resolution is always a Plus Point If U r using Ur Phone for Mulimedia and Internet pUrpose. Ya the major minus points of this phone are no video Only 1000Mah Battery (it will be drained soon due to its Big Screen size)

Ben

No matter all the noise made about a product most people wouldnot buy until they have read previews on websites like GSMARENA. Let us see if the battery power is sufficient, I have a Nokia e71 with excellent battery power and though this phone is going to combine a lo of functions, if the battery power isn't good it wouldn't be worth it. I think phone manufacturers should think more deeply and test their products before relaese and too much noise

Hi , This is very goooooood.

Whoa! Impressive specs! \ I don't mind if it's 2-3 mm thicker to accommodate 2000 mAH battery, 8 MP camera, 3D stereo speaker and 3.5" jack. TV receiver/recorder, 3d gaming will also be nice. I mean, 4.1" display for standard winmo apps is just a waste. It should be a multimedia & gaming center with phone features not otherwise. I will consider buying this if they put above specs in the TG01.

there is no 3.5 mm earphone jack?!!

i think the spec on this site is not up to date as Toshiba TG01 does have video and Secondary-Digital-Camera

Can anyone tell me what is so great about this device? Aside from the big screen (which btw makes the device to big for one handed operation)and the snapdragon processor, what are the other jaw-dropping specs? there are none!!

Weaknesses: MS Operating Sys, Battery life inadequate (WHY only 1000?) and poor mega camera. OTHERWISE; nice!

"Fantastic" ? It doesen't support video ( What !? ) , and only one cam. Great display, though - perhaps too great ? Really, do you want a thingie you can't hold with one hand beacause it's simply too large to be comfortable ? Might as well go for a netbook then. Seems like the Omnia HD will blow this one away...

Win OS is a disappointment. The batter is not powerful enough by a long way. The camera at 3.1, is.... ok but given others coming on strong at 5,8 and 12, 3 seems pretty ho hum. On the plus side, I really like the size of the screen and thickness. It has appeal but would be better if the above short comings were fixed.

It's very good but either pocket music software or graphic equalizer hopefuly for music lover

It looks ok but it's not quite as good as it should have been, compared to the Iphone i will still go for the Iphone, it should have atleast come with a flash for the camera, fm radio, but it's not a bad start, Toshiba should try harder if they want an Iphone killer, they should look at the samsung omnia for example.

i dont think its good idea, if toshiba make good laptop its dont mean the mobile phone is good.

ya i think itd nice but not good.

Can Toshiba make miracles? I mean... the TG01 has nice specs (not great, but nice) but how long will the 1000mAh battery last? Will you have to charge it once, twice or more times a day?? how much usage time can you pull out of such a weak battery???

Only 3 MP camera? How bad, WinMo is a piece of crap, the UI from Toshiba is not industry standard, does it have PC sychronisation or any cool service or easy set up e.g. eMail that IPhone / Nokia / Samsung has? The price point of 599 Euro drives are you nuts? While you can get a 280 Euro for an excellent touch from Nokia or LG? Toshiba, nice technology demonstrator for the screen, slimness, but it is too wide, to badly spec'ed simply irrelevant. Sit down and do it again..

I know its slim and light...but it's still long and wide...I can't imagine putting this up against my face during a phone call...might as well be putting a laptop against my face...

Nice to finally see a PDA phone that has a screen as large as 4.1 inches. I presently own a hp ipaq with a 4 inches screen and have been looking forward to a phone that would have a wide screen as my present device. This toshiba product looks promising the only surprise was what i read that it doesn't come with a 3.5 mm earphone jack ?? I want to believe that is untrue because if it is actually true then toshiba would be the greatest fool of them all, please Gsnarena guys please confirm it is not true ??????

1 GHz and a screen that big ... what about battery ? This will eat a lot of battery even in standby mode + winmo is one of worst solutions (even the new Symbian s60v5 that lacks some stuff is way better) ... At this specifications they could put Windows XP (you could play games like GTA or NFS :) )

where is 2nd camera? RAM? HTC touch hd is much better

asktemi

I have followed closely all the comments about phones mostly the smartphone. Come to think of it, we still have some computers that have 450Mhz in our homes. That Toshiba is 1Ghz with huge screen. Really there may not be a perfect phone out there but we are seeing a great trend in the market. However, there is a phone for everyone, There are people still having a black and white TV set in their homes. What about that.

Anonymous

with only 256K colors,a traditional LCD display, and a 3.2 MP camera this phone adds no real value to the arena--the only specification that might save it from being obsolete before hitting the shelves would be a very long battery life(>7hrs video playback) --the OQO2+ offers more computing power, larger and better screen--technically however it is a mini-computer

just because u dont take pictures dont mean others dont. u hav 2 consider overall not just yourself. for your phone, its fine but people ask for more and more. nokia's processor speed is ok for day to day running as well. im not talking about first generation of n series or whatever, im talkin about n95 8gb etc.

Anonymous

Ive got an iphone and ive got video recording on mine, very high quality too. Im glad apple didnt make video recording for it because no doubt it would have been terrible quality. The video recording I have pretty much takes photos very rapidly at the iphones cam resolution, making the quality good. It doesnt compress the files either so it doesnt turn out like a crappy 3gp file. Ahh how i love the jailbreak. As for the iphone speed, mines slow because of all the crap ive got on it and jailbreaking with themes etc. Once i restore it and rejailbreak its great. This phone will completely kill it though, the iphone is no match to it processor wise, to use it as a proper phone every day and i think the iphone wins. Its a good achievment though, well done to toshiba

This is a big step in the mobile phone industry..a 1ghz processor on a phone wow.. my netbook currently runs at 1.6ghz (though i overclock to 2ghz). The phone itself..not so great, I couldnt see myself lugging around a brick that wont fit in my pocket. Sure its thin, but i would much rather had a thicker phone than a wide and tall phone that wont fit in a pocket. Its a great step in the right direction though, this should mean that other big companies can start producing something like this with a better phone. Until then im happy with my iphone

i like this phone a lot. the processing power is outstanding. the design is v appealing (kinda like ipod touch). the resolution is fantastic. however there r a few reasons y u shudnt buy this phone: -no video recording. (y? 1st iphone, then htc g1, then palm pre and now tg01. do manufacturers think that video recording is no longer needed on smartphones?) -no 3.5mm jack (wud hv been nice cos this wud hv made a nice video and music player) -65k effective colors (yes winmo doesnt support more bcos they say they need a faster processor. more color wud hv been much better cos it has a nice screen size and gud resolution - especially for watching videos) -pressure sensitive touchscreen (used on almost every winmo device. this was rly a bad choice by toshiba tho. pressure sensitive touchscreen need to hv a flexible layer of plastic which means u dont get a v durable screen. it is not as responsive as capacitive touchscreen (eg: iphone, g1, palm pre) or optical touchscreen (neonode). also pressure sensitive uses several layers which make the image quality of the screen worse.)

well its ture that more processing power means higher power consumption but i think ur forgetting the fact that the highest processing might be only required at times when ur doing some thing like watching a video at D1 resolution and that too will require around half of the processing this beast has to offer.last but not the least the normal processing required(like basic stuff) for a divice powered by wince is very low.....

Anonymous

The battery can't last long due to 1 GHz processor (higher frequency, higher power consumption, high heat). The screen and size of phone is too big to be kept comfortably in hand, strange and embarrassing for a cell phone used daily. The success of screen stands in its sensitivity to finger touch, that may be a success just with a capacitive screen as iPhone has versus most of WinMo equipped with plastic flexible screens, with low prediction to get the input and owing to flexible screen from plastic have a dull, opaque image.

I notice that one thing that people are concerned about is making movies with the camera. That can be handled at the software level. Another is Win Mo. I look at WM this way, most of the problems inherent with this OS can be fixed with the Extended Rom overlay from either the manufacturer or the carrier. By far Toshiba is showing that this is the case. The demo vids that I have seen have shown what Win Mo is capable of and so much more. What they add to the WM interface will determine how good this phone will be....

No, it doesn't kill the N97, the N97 is smaller in size (even if with smaller display, the mobile phone is intended to be small) has a 5MP camera with dual LED flash and autofocus, has a video call second camera, 32GB on board memory, 3.5mm headset connector..etc. So it doesn't kill the N97, it's just another solution besides the N97.

No, that thing in the top is not the secondary camera, see here No secondary camera, 3MP with no flash, really big size, not sure if this would work against its 1GHz processor & display. But at least, for sure, these would reduce its chance to be a flagship.

Shinigami

Size: 130 x 71 x 9.9 mm I wonder what they thought of when making a testing platform into an actual product... Its simply huge. For 4.1" screen you need 1280x720p resolution, not 800x480. My humble opinion.

This is sweet. Definitely a MID to watch out for. Competition is getting stiffer and stiffer between these touchscreen phones. The only thing that is sort of a turn off about this phone is winmo.
