Toshiba Working on a Clamshell Phone?
An FCC filing for the Toshiba TG01 is leaving a lot of people confused. The filing itself isn't what has everyone confused. It's the specs that were listed with the filing. The specs didn't match anything vaguely similar to the TG01 that Toshiba had at the Mobile World Congress. From screen size to physical diminsions, the information in the filing didn't match anything we were shown in Barcelona.
The mystery device is listed as a Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a 3" 800x480 WVGA Screen and a .8" 96x39 B&W LCD. So, could this be a successor to the clam shell Protege'? Could we see the return of a Windows Mobile flip phone?
The mystery device is also reported as having a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor. According to Unwiredview.com the manual that accompanied the filing was for a TM5-E01 (FCC Identifier) but the pictures submitted with the filing were of the TG01. Either somebody at Toshiba goofed up really bad or Toshiba's is intentionally teasing the Windows Mobile community. Regardless, we'll keep our eyes open for more news on this mystery device.
