Toshiba TG01. (Flashing) egg on your face

July 14th, 2009 Martin No comments

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.
