Toshiba's flagship phone of the year TG01 already launched

Japan had a notorious history of saving all high-quality phones inside their own country, but TG01 might be an exception. Named in Japan as T-01A under DoCoMo, Toshiba had already launched the WM6.1 powered TG01 in June. The response was positive (barring there were reports about problems on dialing 011 prefix numbers).

As our earlier report (here), TG01 is the feature phone for the year 2009, with a 4.1" large WVGA screen (i.e. Wide VGA 800 x 480) fitted in a slim 9.9mm body, this is one of the phone which gives users maximum viewing pleasure. Its Qualcomm 1.0GHz CPU, it runs most programs more smoothly than most Windows Mobile handsets available up-to-date.

We are aware of most tests and reviews online are only concentrated in the fancy functions and completely neglected about the very basic quality of a handset - the telephone function. In history, Toshiba's phone had appalled users with its horrible reception. Before our team has a chance to try and examine the phone (if possible), we hold completely skpetical on recommending any one from buying one.

For information as of today, the contract price from Orange is 99€, but contract price is never a good price indicator.
