Toshiba Flying into the US with a Flip?

FCC submission and approval doesn’t mean that a phone would land in the United States, but rather that said phone can be used safely on US airwaves. Toshiba’s latest filings with the FCC reveals some facts that may make it to either be a flip phone or a dual-faced phone a la Acer. At any rate, the filing documents indicate two screens on a Toshiba device.

The pictures obtained by Unwired View depicts a device that looks like the Toshiba TG01. However, the user manual indicates a device by the model of Toshiba TM5-E01. According to Unwired View, “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”

Here are the full specs:

-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

Is Toshiba prepping a new model or is this a mix-up in the user documents?
