Hats off to Toshiba for making such a great and impressive device, the Toshiba TG01, one of the best Windows Mobile devices this year. So let’s get started.

The Toshiba TG01 is the first smartphone with a Qualcomm 1 GHz chipset, called Snapdragon, snapped under their hood. Toshiba claims that it will make the Toshiba TG01 considerably faster than any other smartphone currently on market. And also Toshiba promised the TG01 will “revolutionize the mobile entertainment world”. We’re sure about that, since the Toshiba TG01 managed to squeeze most of today’s must-have-features into their extremely slim body (only 9.9mm thick), such as a 3.1 MP auto-focus camera, a microSD cardslot for extra storage up to 16GB, a built-in accelerometer, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, Wi-Fi, a built-in GPS receiver, HSDPA and HSUPA support, WindowsMobile-Pro operating system and Custom Toshiba 3D user interface, and a GIANT 4.1″ WVGA touchscreen display!

Besides the extreme chipset and massive display, users will be pleased with Toshiba’s custom 3D UI. It’s way more practical and fun to use. And thanks to the built-in accelerometer, the phone can accept gesture commands which brings more fun, for example a double shake of the phone sideways can do 5 available tasks such as open the dialer, ending a task, ending all task, jump to today’s screen, or simply to answer a call. There are more customization options to improve the user experience even further. But If you think running on such an extremely powerful chipset and a massive display will compromised the TG01’s battery life, you’re wrong. Toshiba claims it will last to 11.5 days in standby and 5 hours of talk time.

The only drawback is that the device is way too big and large for single-handed use. Users will have to use both hand to work with the TG01. But, personally, i don’t think it’s a drawback. A super fast chipset, a giant and sharp touchscreen display, nifty 3D UI and gesture control, and many other killer features, will make us forgot about the size problem. Right, people ? Way to go, Toshiba!
