Now that's awesome! (But then again, it's pretty easy to slim down a battery if you make it wider and longer...)
Though the size is a bit worrying...
I've just seen the comparisons with the iPhone and I'm not sure weither it's such a good idea to make it that big.
Sure I like big screens and all, but if the device get's this big because of it, I think I can handle a little less...
(But maybe I just have to see it in real life, I mean, I thought the iPhone was overkill aswell at first)]]>Feb 3rd 2009 9:46AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/200902031272/hands-on-with-the-toshiba-tg01-windows-mobile-smartphone.html]]>Feb 3rd 2009 10:46AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/Feb 3rd 2009 11:39AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/the phone. It slim factor is not a selling point for me I rather have the sliding qwerty key-board

Take a few millimetres off and I think the effect will be even more impressive, even though the size (height & width) of the TG01 is much greater, I'm sure you'll be checking your pockets too... provided it's not too heavy.

As for a QWERTY keyboard - get with the program man. QWERTY = fat all the time. Big screen = QWERTY when you want it, thin & light all the time. The only reason research on previous generation smartphones shows that QWERTY was popular is that screen size & resolution was so rubbish, the keyboard was cramped and tiny so you couldn't see what you were pressing and one finger took up four virtual keys, or you couldn't see what you had just typed because the virtual keyboard was in the way. I think the sums are simple - iPhone has sold more units than you can poke a stick at. Take that form-factor, give it a flexible OS (i.e. Android or WM), and I reckon you've got yourself a winner.

Well done Toshiba. Let's just hope your release model does better than WM 6.1... and you give the GUI colour-scheme a good overhaul (I mean, test-screen colours??? Yeesh...).]]>Feb 4th 2009 10:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/03/toshiba-tg01-with-4-1-inch-wvga-touchscreen-a-worlds-first-sna/'Easy one-handed touch operation'
'Smooth transition between applications'
'Customizable with quick access to favorites'
All with a 3D 'touch' UI...
Looks like someone's going to snap their dragon, amirite?]]>Feb 9th 2009 12:45AM
