Toshiba TG01 - Yet another "iPhone killer"?

*Yawns*.

Toshiba has just unveiled announced their latest flagship - a WM6.1 mobile phone in London with very powerful system configurations.

HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS are a must for any reasonable iPhone killer, and we need no introduction for these.

The eye-catching specifications for TG01 are:
- A giant 4.1 inch screen featuring 800 x 480 resolution.
- Less than 10mm thick, which is thinner than both iPhone and HTC Diamond.
- A 1GHz CPU chipset. To quote SlashGear, TG01 "is the first device to use Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon QSD2850 chipset."
- A long battery duration capable to sustain multimedia uses as the CPU can regulate its speed. No info on battery capacity yet.

Too bad this very brand is notorious for its poor voice quality, the fundamental function required for proper communicate. If the voice quality is the same as G800/G910, we will continue recommending reader not to buy one.

The rumoured launch date is not earlier than Summer 2009, before that, will it be possible that another brand launched a better phone? Windows Mobile 6.5 might probably be launched by then.
