New phones from Toshiba surface

John Chan | Jan 21, 2008

The Toshiba Portege series of mobile phones started out with two devices in Europe. It would be fitting then for the next two to be announced there, too, this time in Italy. The Japanese company has unveiled the G710 and G910, two Windows Mobile 6-based products which succeed the G500 and G900.

The G710 uses the WM6 Smartphone OS, which means it has no touchscreen. It comes with a keyboard that looks very similar to the one found on the Samsung SGH-i600. GPS is built-in but the specs don't say if it has 3G or HSDPA.

Like the G900, the new G910 has an 800 x 480 WVGA display. This is still uncommon for PDA-phones and makes its screen resolution among the highest compared to most other devices. It also comes with GPS built-in and is quite hefty at 183g with a thickness of almost 20mm.

We have contacted Toshiba about their availability in our region and are awaiting a response. For now, read our earlier review of the G900.
