You may not automatically associate Toshiba with high-quality mobile phone handsets, but it appears that the Japanese technology giants have begun to release a range of smartphones in the hopes of expanding their technological conquest across the gadget spectrum.
One of their recent releases – the Toshiba TG01 – has one of the biggest touchscreens we have ever seen on a mobile phone and Toshiba claim that the handset has been optimised to run a variety of applications whilst at the same time conserving battery power, but does Toshiba deliver on these promises or is this one area where they can’t succeed?
Strangely enough one of the main things we like about the TG01 is the sheer size of the thing. The handset is a behemoth, with an amazing 4.1 inch screen dominating the front of the handset displaying an amazingly high resolution, that has the most crisp and clear clarity we have seen for a while.
When you think about it, Toshiba’s main area of excellence is in television manufacturing, so it seems on face value that the TG01 is a miniature flatscreen television. We found the graphics of the menus to be stylish and impressive-looking, and then the exterior of the phone is sleek and modern, making the TG01 big and beautiful.
When browsing the internet the TG01’s screen really comes into its own, displaying our favourite web pages is full, glorious colour. We found it really easy to read and highlight pieces of text and generally scrolling and browsing was a breeze.
There are also apps that allow you to use your phone as a satellite navigation system as you can clearly see the directions and it’s really easy to use, and as an added bonus some of the models come with this pre-installed.
The T-Mobile G1 is a promising phone with good features that could compete with today's latest. T-Mobil hasn't lost the mobilephone market yet and they also have lots of cheap T-Mobile G1 deals that might change your mind when buying the phone you hvae in mind.
