Toshiba TG01 now available on Movistar in Spain

If you're in... say, Spain, we can understand how you might perceive Japan as being a bit far to go just to put your hands on Toshiba's T-01A Snapdragon powerhouse. Then again, it is the first Snapdragon handset to hit the market -- and it's an absolutely stunning-looking phone -- so we certainly wouldn't blame you for packing your belongings, children, and pets into wooden crates, shipping them via freighter, and hopping the next flight to Tokyo. The good news, though, is that you won't have to: Movistar has now launched the phone locally in its global TG01 flavor, offering 7.2Mbps down, 2Mbps up, a flippin' 4.1-inch wide VGA display, and very likely the snappiest Windows Mobile experience you've ever had. The best part is that you can get it for free depending on your contract and plan pricing, so seriously, what's holding you (other than the fact that you might not be in Spain)?

I am not sure if we have pubished specs in this thing beyond the screen size and resolution (and 1Ghz Snapdragon, ofcourse).

But the movistar site says it has 512 MB ROM, 256 MB RAM, 5 hours talk time, and 11 days standby time. Sounds pretty comparable with most 3G/UMTS phones nowadays.

Still wish we know how long the video playback time was!

Oh yeah, dimensions are 5.08" x 2.76" x 0.39" ... pretty SAWEET!

What about a benchmark comparison between this and the iPhone 3GS. I don't care about Apple and their CrapPhones, but I HAVE to see how this compares against one of the fastest phones in the market now.
