The TG01 is thinner than the iPhone . Unlike the Blackberry Storm, the TG01 doesn’t sacrifice Wi-Fi.  It’s an HSDPA/HSUPA device with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and A-GPS. Because the TG01 is currently a European device Toshiba isn’t talking about what radio it might have in the U.S., but the Qualcomm branding on the side does say 3G CDMA. About the only thing missing (apart from a physical keyboard) is a 3.5mm headphone socket; but since the TG01 is so thin, Toshiba had to use a micro-USB connection but Toshiba includes an adapter so you can use your favorite headset.

I say call it the "Phone Operating System" or POS for short... and everyone will ask "Is your phone a POS?" and companies will put labels on thier next gen phones saying "POS-Ready"!

Hmm.. so I have to hold the TG01 phone perfectly straight to watch movies on it, what a pain.

I remember being at Microsoft and going to a presentation of their smartphone OS (can't recall which version). They had big hopes for the market, but this was 2004. I had figured that marked had all but dried up on them, but this article claims they're the number #1 smart phone OS. When did that happen? Why don't I see more Windows phone advertisements? Seems very contrary to MS's whole philosophy.
