fail product... was never able to compete with the others...

[cisconetworkuk]

i just returned one of these phone to orange what a load of rubbish use to be good company which made great stuff not any more

[Thermoman69691]

Geee'z are they still selling this out dated pile of junk????

iPhone4 thinner faster 200'000+ Apps better screen and it can fit in your pocket! TG01 is now free on all 24month contracts and they still can't get rid of them. Phones running windows just don't work do it. If you really want to defend the TG01 "I'm listening"

[liemnlime89]

@Thermoman69691 Not everything that's considered "out dated" is useless (inferred from you calling it a "pile of junk") you know. If it works and the people don't find any problems with it, then it's good to go. Last I checked, every phone I've com across fits into my pocket, including phones that have a 4+ inch screen size. Of the 200,000 apps how many are of actual use? Only about 80 (based on my research). Not dissing the iPhone or any other phone. If you know how to use something, use it.

[Thermoman69691]

@liemnlime89 Ok that's a fair point and I will not argue with your comment. Based on my personal tastes I use 167 apps and these are not games but yes the greater number from the 200'000+ are just crap but can be fun for a short while. It's about entertainment as we are all animals and love playing with toys. But seriously if you enjoy your product and it fits your pocket good on you, use it.

[Trafiklys]

I got the phone yesterday :D!

[pcfix411]

I really got entertained by this one.

[olyloh6696]

Omg!!! This phone is amazing! Only £149 at orange! Im buying it then unlocking it!!

[geezezy]

the iphone is an overpriced novelty phone man. smartphones are the real phones, R

The tg01 is a real beast, but bad ui at the moment. This is possibly in the same class as the hd2.

[safaaaari]

ths is probz a could phone bt me as a phone dealer for abt 8 years can onli say tht at ths very moment of time mobiles such as a iphone r needed to enjoy multimedia and the rest such as web browsing even the palm pre is better thn ths bt fatriff i think has brought a toshiba so he is deciding to defend it wen he even knws its shit

[bubuhh76]

Have you ever watched a movi, browse the internet and shoot a video at the same time what bullshit!! you do it step by step. and yes the iphone is the best mobile device for everything you want to do!

[drqeti]

Copy of HTC HD2!...................

[Wigley99]

Which do you think came first??

[drqeti]

Hmmm Yes I noticed that TG01 came first. But I love HD2

[ALXVid101]

this came out first... the hd2 came out like a year later

[lastpoint94costy]

toshiba TG 01 came first...and don;t think I dont love HD2...

[kiekkopojka8]

NOKIA N900!

[ARM187STRONG]

Funny when you pressed the screen twice and nothing responded

I think the hardware on the phone is ok but made a wrong choice when windows mobile was selected

Iphone 3gs kicks this all the way to Toshiba lab

maybe better then iPhone and iPhone 3G, but NEVER EVER better then iPhone 3G S!- oohh and lets WAIT FOR IPHONE BIRTHDAY ON JULY,2010 A NEW IPHONE COMING UP!!

[fatriff]

2 things.. 1GHZ processor, and 800 X 480 resolution screen.. what's the iphone got again?

[Thermoman69691]

I shall tell what a iPhone has "a big fucking cock!" women love it! iPhone out sells any other pussy of a phone out there and nothing can match the apps so eat your 1ghz and oversized pile of junk and reply to comments that are not over 2months old as I have long forgotten what a TG01 was again! Did you really buy a TG01? HTC or Blackberry kicks the TG01 out of history "YOU FOOL" iPhone is cool way to cool for you FOOL

[parillo400]

those are brands jackass....

[Thermoman69691]

What you on about?

[theevilvampireking]

toshiba is just getting into the mobile busniess like acer they still need time 2 improve

[Lewisdennis666]

@Thermoman69691 so its the best phone out because its 'cool' and it has 'a big fucking cock'........ theres nothing else to say lol

[vorjay]

Oh a GHz war? Who cares about speed look at the actually functionality you get.

[Lewisdennis666]

@fatriff win!!!! may i aldo add 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM

[Thermoman69691]

Because the iPhone is the perfect size it did go where the sun don't shine and because it's apple I didn't get a VIRUS

[fatriff]

iphone is for non-technical users like yourself.. like a bicycle with stabilisers.

[1stroller1jack]

phone a dream to use an you can shove you iphone were the sun dont shine

[Thermoman69691]

More than I can chew!

[KhyberBoy09]

Cool touchscreen.

Toshiba are a symbol of their country.

Their products are great and their name is distinctly Asian.

[Thermoman69691]

I have not tried movies to iPhone but mp3 is super easy as you can insert a music cd to you computer and it copies, coverts to mp3 and makes a cover with all the songs and blah blah. It's super easy really. The movies I will do soon. And another iComment I have hardly used my laptop since I got my iPhone:-) trying to avoid windows is probly the reason lol

[HDwalkthroughsHD]

OK ,thanks.

[cardriverx]

so hows sucking apple's dick going for you?

[fatriff]

iphone is a bullshit phone, with a winmob phone you can have 20 applications all running at the same timead switch between them, you can browse, IM and shoot video and watch a movie all at the same time.

[Thermoman69691]

Ps. The iPhone has made a milestone leap forward. The iPhone is just quality in your hand. It's so finger friendly:-) Apple have reserched deep and stay a little behind before over leaping anything out right. I just got the 3Gs and the joy of this device is truly a dream to use. I not for a moment want to spend my evening in "SETTINGS" windows 6.? you are so complicated, fussy and just not needed!!!!!!! TG01....hello anybody

[HDwalkthroughsHD]

Can u upload xvid videos or mp3 from your computer to the iPhone3GS?

[fatriff]

Typical noob who isn't capable of doing anything technical.

[Thermoman69691]

I have held this device in my hand in my local Orange shop. The back of the phone has a one peice plastic cover, it was broken due to the fact that your have to remove this cover time and time again to insert the memory card. But you're need to remove the battery first... What the?????? Bad, really bad design. Seems to me this device was rushed to quickly, so what other concerns lay ahead? See for youself really do, really!

[camboy1132]

when can you buy this phone Xp phone

[Wilkie971]

i have just orderd this phone

[ifredable1]

4.1 inch screen that is huge

[ExplosiveCarTuner]

So like the other touch phones..o_O

[eMWe]

nope^^ its like the others but a half ton more weight caused by bigger size xD

[GeorgeC2009]

Why does this phone have ridiculously small answer and decline call buttons?

[russelli1]

this phone looks like the ipod touch.i want this phone but it DOES NOT take video.oh well.jus' daydreaming.

[Kaleidoscorp]

This is T-01A in Japan.

[filipino40831]

what carrier network is this phone going to be on? Verizon? AT&T?

[lidul]

if it comes to the us (very likely because FCC just cleared 3g version) it would be on either verizon or sprint, or possibly both. i think it will be on verizon because sprint has the palm pre. kinda like the iphone, it would have gone to verizon as well as att but verizon has the storm so apple said that they either get rid of the storm or they cant have the newest iphone 3gs.

[Bugsy1982]

This phone is so sexy I want a hero don't know if either of them will be available in US but I lean 2ward the hero even tho TG01 is super fast now that I've experienced android just can't go back 2 winmo smh great injustice to a great device

[ruby777star]

emmatphones dot c o m

for the best prices on mobile phones

££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

[peter2kok]

TG01 users

w w w. TG01. org

[legit123abc]

The microsoft OS seriously lets this down. here's to hoping the next one will be android.

[LinuxGalore]

had me until Windows mobile and the 2007 era 3.2MP camera, up the camera to 5MP and find another OS and you have my money.

[eviler1]

"Which allows 3D menus, which basically, just those nice "swishy" columns"

LOL! So much for a 1GHZ chipset.

iPhone 3GS would kick this piece of junk anytime!

[busychild04]

the fact that it has mobile windows os makes me not want to buy one

[jellotime91]

I hate the OS and inteface. It looks like crap. This phone is probably amazing though due to the 1ghz processor.

[kimekoy]

i dont like this phone

[PersonalComputerNerd]

if u only used it for phoneing and not for differnt Media stuf...Why buy it? lol,

[zzz11y]

nice..

1GHZ, catch my first computer lol...

[Yannovitcho]

Ahahah yeah, when I think my first computer was a Pentium 1 90Mhz, even the worst smartphone beat him totally ^^

[cjjp78]

I want this phone but I dont like the toshiba ui. They should add wm6.5 and the option to turn the toshiba ui off if you want. WM6.5 ui seems ok and would look nice on that big screen.

[krishansy]

They have a resistive touch screen. It is a no no for me, what a shame. Other features are cool. I wish OmniaHD had larger screen with better resolution, and perhaps more internal memory (boy, am I getting greedy)!

[surgeyX]

Really? This is a resistive screen? That's stupid. The interface is also laughable -- who comes up with this stuff? 3D rainbow colums? Why would ANYONE want that? The OmniaHD imho has a better screen since its AMOLed and resistive...it's a tad smaller, but it's already quite large. And IIRC it has alot of ram as well right? 256 or 512 maybe? The omnia HD is looking very close to being my next purchase...also 3.2 MP cam on this is dissapointing when competition has 8mp, and even 12mp.

[TomaCukor]

megapixel count doesnt really matter my friend its the quality of the objective u want to be good

and yes , its better to take a smaller phone with a smaller screen , u dont wanna end up with a frying pan sized "phone" nomatter how thin it is

[iNeelesh]

The interface annoys me.

[orelsi1000]

Me too.

[krishansy]

Me too.

[JOSEPHMONAHAN]

Hi every one its Joe I am wondering what is the best mobile phone and money dose not matter one bit  What I want in a mobile

. texting

. calling

. taking pictures

. Web browsing (youtube)

. touch screen

any hep and i will sub to you i need to know soon ty

[internetdv8]

here's a touchscreen phone that i am actually interested in purchasing.

good work toshiba.

[OnEdEcKhk]

PROCESSOR!! stop saying chip set!!

[ShadowEater120880]

Maybe it also clocks down the northbridge / southbridge which would imply a set of chips, if its only the CPU then processor is more accurate as you say

[utuberssuck]

Snapdragon is a platform/chipset as well as a processor name.

Retard.

[monoeegreen]

The bad thing is it's with Windows Mobile :( Which will make it slow :(

[xev1n777]

It's got a 1ghz processor

[abdulidkfa]

i think its will beat htc HD and iphone

[letzteschlact2]

battery is a doggie - 1000 mAh

[fuckpretty]

i waiting this mobile

[xMLGxGamer2284]

I want it now

[basslinefisheh09]

yeah how much is this ... i mite get it on contract :) my lg ku990 is gettin old lol

[TheRealLLprince]

how mmuch is it

[dylandior123]

When does this phone become available to purchase in the UK? :)

[JJW96ALSOP]

hey ppl i recently got a choice for a mobile a blackberry 7130g

or theMotorola K1 i need help on picking the phone i want plz HELP ME

[ZDS373HR]

LG KP500, check it! :) Cheap and a touch phone. I'll maybe buy that one. Just got to try it in the store tomorrow! ;D

[thanosied]

Is the lg kp500 being sold in the USA? also, what carrier are you with? Is it available for at&t? there should be a site that can tell you all the phones that you can buy for your cell phone carrier, in what country, does it have 3g capabilities, etc...if anyone knows of a site like this, point me to it...

[ZDS373HR]

I dont think it has 3g, and I dont know what you mean with carrier.. ;P

But I've finally tried it! And i think it's really good! The camera is 3 mpx it's a little bit laggy but who cares, it's better than other ones. And in the touch u need to press a little harder on the display than the touchwiz. That I think is better so you dont to any misstakes. :)

Well, try it in the stores if you have that possibility!

[planiador]

otra copia asquerosa del iphone, son unos mamones

[fatriff]

One more thing.. to the author.. why do you say iphone rival?? are you kidding? this phone is way beyond the iphone, it's ridiculous for you to even suggest it's a rival.. the HTC touch HD allready put the iphone to shame.. now this phone puts them all to shame and sets the bar inches higher.

[thanosied]

i'm sure they mean rival as in the potential market share it COULD grab up. trust me, I'm no apple fan boy, but facts are facts, and as far as wide touch screen phones go, apple has the market cornered. let them have their iphones, it will be going the way of the apple ii in no time...

[stubar85]

Good point but notice how so many reviewers mention "iphone revial"? Nothing will ever rival the Iphone because of the brand name attached to it and the things attached to that brand name; style the main one. Apple could put out a new Iphone with the same features as the current 3G, slightly change the desgin and still outsell anything else. However it's good that Toshiba are putting stuff out outside of Japan, hope Sharp can increase their output too, obv. they can make top phones.

[XProffrinkX]

The novelty of the Iphone is starting to wear and what are Apple going to possibly be able to include in their next release to make it different to other phones out there? Make it slimmer maybe? I think not

[fatriff]

It looks a great size for what it's got, It will make the most amazing portable browsing machine, This is my 2nd time commenting on this because I ran into more hype about this baby, I have a G900 and it was advanced when it appeared with it's 800X480 screen 2 years ago.. Toshiba are clearly pushing the boundaries with this new one, I can see myself playing PS1 & 2 games on it.

[isperia666]

nokia had 3.2 mp phones 4 years ago. I wonder why it takes so long for competition to catch up

[coolermaster644]

hmm idk its suprised they can fit that but... 1gh cpu speed! thats way ahead into the future

[leninhitlerjuanpablo]

obviously the innovation here isnt the camera....the innovation for a cell phone is the proccesor and ram........but i just still dont like windows mobile

[fatriff]

It has so much power! 1GHZ processor!! no phone on this earth has that kind of beef,,, and that fuckin screen!!! 5 X the resoulution of the shitty iphone! with a screen that good you can look at entire websites without having to zoom or scroll left or right at all to read the text.

[PrimevlL]

Yeah but its really starting to leave the realm of portable cell phones or even smart phones with that 4.1" screen.

You couldn't even put it in your front pocket and sit down without worrying about bending it in half.....

Maybe they should have attached a full size keyboard to it and rebranded it as an Toshiba TG01 w/ Intel Atom².

Anyone who doesn't think this thing is strictly sized for NBA basketball players is retarded.

And the jokes never end.

[leninhitlerjuanpablo]

duhhh! like the e90?............ i still love it

[AAUHD]

What a gimmicy UI...bleh I like the phone, but Toshiba needs a new UI

[leninhitlerjuanpablo]

hahaha toshiba dont need it

windows mobile do!

[gypsydavid08]

everything about toshiba sucks i give that phone a couple months and it will start to freak out

[elbarto63]

you missed the mini flexi phone in the back that can fit round the wrist. Also the keyboard and the bluetooth headphones and you didn't say the costs.

[diegertin]

it seems slow

[mikecute7]

iphone!!!!!!

[ish718]

Looks really nice, but how much will it cost? x_x

[Munkyspunx]

$1000

lol

gutted

[da1ndonly]

i need to keep my eye on this , i may want to upgrade to this, too bad it doesnt have windows mobile 6.5 but none the less looks good

[robertozube]

Its rumoured that by launch it will indeed have windows mobile 6.5

[da1ndonly]

lets hope so

[AAUHD]

I'm a lil dissapointed by those CPU adjustment tools. I mean, you'd figure they would have a automated function to adjust CPU usage right?

[PrincessVeronica94]

Wonder how much it will cost

[boylebhoy2007]

Fuck off you silly prick. I hope the imaginary dead girl kills you you useless, irritating fuck.

[EAJGG]

I saw it first lol

[DjBazUltra]

wats better htc touch hd or this???

[CjRpRoDuCtIoNz]

this.

[quadraticdude]

this.

[AAUHD]

Seeing that this doesn't use a qualcomm stupid processor, this will be better. And this already does 3d graphics that are pretty cool.

[AAUHD]

I need to rephrase..the qualcomm's stupid HTC processor..

[judahhertz]

I can't wait for this phone, it looks awesome.

[nakr00]

will this come to canada???

[credor2]

hoyl shit 1 ghz in a phone!!!psp has like 333!wtf???1 ghz is like late pentium 3 early pentium 4 speeds!!!!!im freaking out

[yamada33]

Cowon S9 mp3 player has a dual core 500mhz chip...it's the standard now

[cram304]

WTF!!!  1 Ghz!!!! This phone has arrived to pentium III terrain!!!

[joewilder]

I would like to have something that I haven't seen. An ultra light notebook with a phone built-in. It would have an attache handle and buttons or touchscreen on the outside for dialing and selectin other items. A Bluetooth headset would of course complete the system. And perhaps a de-clippable phone/messaging only portion.

[fiftyfourj]

dw bout the menu..its windows mobile therefore can be customised...boy im starting to get spoilt for choice...toshiba sony ericsson and htc...now acer will be coming out with a few too

[toizzB]

where i can buy this? in germany, too??

how many does it coasts==

but 3,2 mp are not much.

i wnat 5 mp.

[tundradave24]

yah i heard that they didnt anounce yet which camera would be in the final model i would be surprised if its this one... a sweet phone though loaded with options huge screen sd slot gps wifi and that 1gig chip that powers it not too shabby

[MarkBoyehh]

I must buy it!

[snake1mi]

Looks good, but is it a drag n drop device or do we need some tunes or som crap software? Is it glass or plastic? Responsive or just "ok"? Im not buying one until I find something better than the iphone and pre and hts touch hd. Each touch phone nowadays has weakpoints.

[romeno]

I could swear that the company is named TOSHIBA NOT TOBISHA lol

[aliwalamehdi]

It looks alright.

[Chick6517]

This was incredible!! I pretty much watched it twice.. haha you know in case I missed something ;) Loved it!

[KinKyIndaPinKy]

Bad review, screen doesn't look that nice, camera?, interface is kinda odd, hate the color of the menus, 3.5mm headphone jack?, micro sd slot?, qwerty keyboard? Come on this review was shit!

[NitekMuscle]

Just 3.2 megapixels? Bummer.

[merjohn32]

putting in a 5MP cam would compromise the thin profile.

[NitekMuscle]

It's not that much thinner than the Samsung Omnia, which features 5 MP.

[Tsunande4]

Just because it has less pixels doesn't mean the quality it worse

[atlaschooty]

man a must buy phone, really awesome.... 10/10 for it...

[hackhelp4]

pretty big

[billyandika3158]

I just read it in Engadget.... What an insane phone! woot!
