This year’s Toshiba flagship – TG01 was one of the more impressive phones presented at MWC Barcelona.
There were no other new Toshiba handsets there, so I assumed that there won’t be any other handset launched soon.
And when I saw saw some Toshiba device pass through FCC today, I assumed that this was TG01.
Heck, the pictures included in FCC application are Toshiba TG01:
But the user manual says that the handset approved by FCC isn’t TG01. According to the manual it’s Toshiba TM5-E01 (which is probably it’s FCC code and not the real model number).
And the specs described there tell the story of a very different smartphone . The dimensions are wrong (117x 64×19.8mm instead of 129 x 70 x 9.9 mm), display size is wrong (3” instead of 4.1”) and Toshiba TM5 has the secondary 0.8” 96×39px black and white OLED LCD, so it’s probably a clamshell.
These details make me be believe that Toshiba indeed has another 1GHz Snapdragon based Touchscreen phone in the works, only this time in a clamshell form factor. And they have submitted the wrong set of pictures to the FCC.
Full specifications of Toshiba TM5 – E01 include:
- Tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900), UMTS2100 connectivity
- QSD8250 CPU, 256 MB of RAM, 512MB ROM
- Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS
- 3” 800×480 WVGA 65K color touchscreen display
- 0.8” 96×39 B&W OLED LCD
- Camera (unknown resolution)
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- A-GPS
- Bluetooth 2.0 +EDRm miniUSB
- microSD memory card slot
- Dimensions: 117x 64×19.8mm
- Weight: 183g
That’s about it for now. We’ll be looking for more info on this new Toshiba handset, so stay tuned.
