Toshiba Portege G810 with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
INTRODUCTION
On 24 June 2008, Spb Software House, a well-respected company in the Windows Mobile software world, released a press release stating that the upcoming Toshiba Portege G810 would be the result of a collaboration between Toshiba and Spb Software House to deliver "the ultimate mobile device experience." I applaud both companies for taking a new approach to delivering a Windows Mobile device, one that we have yet to see. But does it make sense? Or is this just Toshiba hardware with some Spb software thrown on top? We've got the answer in this review. Read on for more!
WHAT'S HOT
The G810 is no slouch in the specs department. It sports the same Qualcomm MSM7200 processor as the i-mate Ultimate 9502 and HTC TyTN II, running at 400MHz. It has 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, and has a microSD/HC expansion slot for added memory. The screen is 2.8" and is unfortunately only QVGA resolution. It's a quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900) phone with triband UMTS (850/1900/2100) with HSDPA/HSUPA. That said, it works fine in the US on AT&T or T-Mobile. It also has assisted GPS, WiFi b & g, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, USB 2.0, and FM radio. The rear camera is 3MP with auto focus and LED fill light, and the front camera for video calls is VGA resolution. Powering all of this is a 1530mAh battery. For even more specs, check out PDAdb.net.
