New Toshiba phones will come to Asia

John Chan | Jan 30, 2008

Not too long back, Toshiba Europe announced two new handhelds which run Windows Mobile 6 (WM6), the Portege G710 and G910. The G710 is a smart phone on the WM6 Standard OS. It doesn't have 3G connectivity or Wi-Fi, but comes with built-in GPS for navigation. The G910, on the other hand, has it all. Along with all the connectivity options you can think of in a PDA-phone including HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS, it also has a WVGA (800 x 480) display, similar to the Portege G900.

Though we did manage to review the earlier G900, it was not for sale in many countries in our region. Likewise, the G710 and G910 won't be found everywhere in Asia. According to a spokesperson from Toshiba Asia Pacific, the G710 will be shipped in Q2 though the countries haven't been confirmed. The G910 will be available in just three countries in the region.
