Toshiba unveils Snapdragon-based TG01 Touchscreen phone

Toshiba isn’t a newbie when it comes to making mobile phones though its availability is just limited to Japan only. However, that is about to change as 2009 is the year they’re finally joining the globally mobile phone market with the launching of the Toshiba TG01 touchscreen phone.

The Toshiba TG01 is the first phone to feature a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor which will no doubt help make it one of the speedier phones in the market. It also boasts of a large 4.1-inch WVGA touchscreen (the largest to date) display, WiFi, HSDPA, GPS, and runs Windows Mobile 3.1 with a Toshiba 3D user interface. It will come with a camera though no specific details were disclosed just yet as to its megapixel rating. Measuring it at a mere 9.9mm in thickness, this has got to be the slimmest touchscreen phone to date.

Here’s a video of the Toshiba TG01 live in action:

We’ll probably get more details as to how much, when it will be released, and what other goodies it’ll come with at the World Mobile Congress where it will most likely make an appearance. Nonetheless, this early on, the Toshiba TG01 phone looks to be quite promising, and if priced just right, this has the makings of a future best-seller.
