WME @ MWC: Hands-on with the Toshiba TG02

By Phil Nickinson
last updated

Toshiba still has some of the biggest and most elusive (at least in the U.S.) phones around. Case in point: The TG02. This 4.1-inch monster sports the 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of ROM/256MB of RAM and SPB Mobile Shell running atop Windows Mobile 6.5.3.

Nothing too crazy about that (and we couldn't get them to answer on the whole "waterproof" thing we saw in early leaks. But this is one of the lightest phones you'll ever see -- especially for something with a 4.1-inch screen. It's crazy light. If you were to drop it, it'd probably just float back to Earth. It's that light. It's also pretty darn snappy, thanks to, well, Snapdragon. See for yourself after the break.

  • A beautiful phone, shame it only has 256MB of RAM.
  • nice phone. mobile shell is awesome. too bad we probably dont get it in us.
  • Abysmal performance. I couldn't go through the first 10 sec of this clip. It's moments like these that make me convinced WM needed the ground up built so desperately.
