Toshiba G900: more info

Toshiba_winmo6Not that you weren’t already mesmerized by the pic of that new Toshiba Windows Mobile 6 device, but we don’t want to take any chances. Here’s the goods from what we know on the Toshiba G900 with slideout keyboard:

  • WVGA support of 480 x 800 in portrait; 800 x 480 in landscape
  • Quadband GSM with HSDPA support
  • Intel PXA270 running at 300 MHz
  • Mini SD slot
  • Integrated Bluetooth, fingerprint sensor and 2 Megapixel camera
  • 64 MB of RAM, 128 MB of ROM

This harkens back to my Toshiba e805 days as I loved the 640 x 480 screen on that device. Couple of thoughts on the above specs: right off the bat, the newly supported WVGA resolution in Windows Mobile 6 is very appealing, but I hope the screen sizes don’t get too small. I believe this is Toshiba’s first foray into the phone market; let’s hope they get it right. The processor should be fine on this, but I’m wondering why we’re not seeing more internal memory; if you’re going to hit the market with a bang, why stay with today’s traditional RAM / ROM configuration? Still, Toshiba makes this a very compelling phone device based on what we know so far, as well as our extensive experience with their Pocket PCs.
