Toshiba TG01 is now officially the first smart phone to hit the US mobile market with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1Ghz processor. This Handset was released simultaneously in a series of European markets in July and its distributor confirms that it has been in ever increasing strong demand in Spain, France, UK, Germany and Italy. Using these statistics, Toshiba also launched it in Taiwan although there are rumours that it is planned to be launched in the US Mobile market through the Telephone Giant Verizon Wireless.

This mobile phone comes with Microsoft’s Windows Mobile Operating System on board. Although it was initially released with Windows Mobile 6.1, Toshiba has also released a WinMo 6.5-based version to the mobile market. Also an update to the new OS has been delivered as an addition to the older model. It also showcases a large touch screen display and a powerful processor.

According to Yasahiro Yamada, who is the general manager of overseas sales and marketing, “the company (Toshiba Communication) is also geared towards improving its handset offerings by introducing new models by the next year which may feature QWERTY keyboards and multimedia oriented devices.”

The Toshiba TG01 has been sold for a retail price of $647.There is no immediate information as to whether the gadget will be exclusive to a carrier although there is a likelihood of this springing up in the near future since the handset is expected to be released to the American market under Verizon wireless airwaves.

ngs in life look really, really silly. Perms, shellsuits, anything else that Liverpudlians decide is fashion, for example. Or, more recently, you’ve got those bluetooth headphone / ear piece things. The ones with the big blue flashy lights especially. You know the ones, they’re mostly worn by mini-can drivers, low-rent business men in Topman suits, and Uhura from Star Trek. You just want to tap them on the shoulder and say, excuse me mate, hope you don’t mind, but you, well, you look like a bit of an arse in that thing, I think you should reconsider.

So, we think a new “trend” is on its way. Or, more accurately, we think there’s going to be a new breed of people who will be evoking that mixture of pity and disgust as they walk down the street using their shiny new mobile device. And that trend is going to be kick started by the Toshiba TG01. And why is that, we here you asking? Well, it’s because the screen on this thing is huge. Beyond huge – 4.1 inches of massiveness huge. And, is it just us, or are people going to look utterly ridiculous walking down the street or sitting in the pub with these things plastered to the sides of their faces as they chat away about how sales are down in Wakefield, or how there’s no way they’re crossing the river, no way in hell they’re doing a damn pick up in damn Deptford.

Right? Because you know the Toshiba TG01 is going to glow and flash and have all sorts of “funky” stuff going on on the screen when you’re on the phone to someone. And your face is only going to hide so much of it. Isn’t it going to look like someone’s just ripped a small television off a wall and are trying desperately to talk to it?

Maybe not. We really hope not. Anyway, the TG01′’s out now on Orange, it’s a fully-spec’ed-up smartphone, it’s screen is apparently quite big, and it’s running on Windows Mobile. What? You want more? Ok, check out this Toshiba TG01 review. Or, have a looksy at the Official site. More? MORE?! OKay, then have a peek at this video instead.
