Toshiba Portege G910 superphone gets reviewed

by Darren Murph posted Jul 11th 2008 at 9:21PM

Time to dust off the ole memory bank, folks. Toshiba's G910 super-device, which hit the FCC at the tail end of 2007, has finally been acquired, unboxed, photographed and reviewed. In one place, too -- isn't that so convenient? For starters, it's tough to argue with an 800 x 480 resolution display, but you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who considers the overall style to be anywhere close to sexy. Overall, the Portege G910 was deemed a lackluster business phone with above average battery life, though the inability to function on a US 3G network was a real downer for those in the States. Additionally, it lagged behind in pure performance, and a variety of quirks caused the reviewer to utilize the handy reset button "a lot." Seems like a glance at the pics may be as close as you'll ever want to get with this one.

Well, if the keys feel like anything I'm imagining them to be, they could be fun.

I mean, I'm already write short stories on my Z520's keys using T9.. what could be worse?

*writing, of course. You'd think the author of short stories would know proper grammar... forgive me, I'm a little awkward on this huge qwerty keyboard.

Windows Mobile? Lagged? Surely you jest!

Wow, a Darren Murph story about Toshiba that doesn't imply this is some attempt to destroy Blu-ray?

Glad the thing has a "real" keyboard, this "touchscreen smartphone" stuff with the occasional Blackberry style pill-keyboard stuff is getting annoying.
