The dial and hang-up buttons are implemented within the soft key area which is new in a WM device. Share your views at http://www.TG01.org the site is only for TG01 users.

Symbian on the other hand is not that good, since it is now owned by Nokia which makes it very difficult to see on other brands, and apparently what they did of Symbian is not as good as what htvc did with Windows Mobile. Reviews on Nokia touchscreen phones seem to agree on the fact that they are not very good (given their price). Now this phone looks quite nice, I don't have speed comparisons between Nokia touch phones and HTC phones, but one of the major drawback in terms of speed between the Touch Pro and the iphone is it's slower processor, and slower gpu, all that with a bigger resolution. The Toshiba must be really responsive because of its much faster processor, and it is certainly very capable of reading divx (even with special software the touch Pro has some issues with that). Apparently they made a nice interface too, not as pretty as TouchFlo in my opinion, but it's a matter of taste. But come on, why don't they bundle it with a useable web navigator, such as Opera ? IE mobile is really really crappy. I also wonder if there is a 3.5mm earphones plug ? And GPS ? The chipset has the option, it doesn't mean (and it doesn't seem that) it will be in the phone... A fast CPU is not everything...

Bwahahahaa.... No wonder it has a 1Ghz processor. Does it have a reset button, too? Windows Mobile? Bwahahahaa…. No wonder it has a 1Ghz processor. Does it have a reset button, too?
