Toshiba's TG01 outed on Orange UK

by Thomas Ricker posted Jul 2nd 2009 at 6:41AM

Well, well, there it is. The world's first and only Snapdragon phone available for retail, Toshiba's TG01, is up and dancing on Orange's UK site with a "coming soon" badge. Soon meaning the July 9th London press event, presumably, where this 9.9-mm slate running WinMo on a 4.1-inch 800x480 pixel display should get a shove out the retail door. Yes, Windows Mobile 6.1, why do you ask?

Can snapdragon improve the browser performances like tegra ?
Is snapdragon's gpu faster in games than the low power geforce 6 class gpu in tegra ?
My bet would be on tegra being faster, and having excellent drivers.

Numbers would be great to compare them to those of the powervr 535 found in the iphone 3gs:
28 Mpolys/s (and probably 1 Gpixels/s which is impressive, nvidia ion / 9400m for netbooks is offering 3,6 Mtexel/s ...)

Is it just me or does Orange get the sickest phones?
Omnia HD? Pre maybe? TG01?

Verizon needs to catch up. Oh and it needs to STOP REMOVING THE COOLIST SHIT ABOUT PHONES BEFORE RELEASING THEM

Like.. Wifi and Memory

I hope a Pre comes out on Verizon with wifi
January I think?
