Toshiba's TG01 stepping out in London on July 9th

It's already out in Japan and a few select countries in Europe, now Toshiba's skinny TG01 is hitting London on Thursday, July 9th. Presumably the invite will be met with an official UK launch of Tosh's deftly skinned Snapdragon handset with a Windows Mobile 6.1 core. Then again, it could be a lot of tech reporters eating mini triangular sandwiches slathered with pickle spread discussing the HTC Hero for four hours. We'll let you know next week.

Or like last weeks NYC Nokia N97 Party, a mix of reporters, novice bloggers, fanboys, curious parties, people who just wanted to win the phone and regular site visitors who wanted to get drunk for free.

I have never been to a release party like that one where I saw so many people so drunk, admitting they just wanted to win a free phone and take advantage of a free open bar.

Sadly, some of those phones went straight up on craigslist and ebay too.
