Phone Systems Toshiba Toshiba Handsets

Toshiba’s new TG01 phone is a Toshiba handset that has ‘sexy’ written all over it. The WVGA screen just begs to be touched and with Wi-Fi, it really hits the spot.

The Toshiba TG01 has a 4.1-inch (800×480 pixel) touchscreen, 1GHz Snapdragon processor,1000 Li-Ion mAh battery, microSD slot (up to 32GB), 3.2-megapixel camera, GPRS, HSDPA, and Wi-Fi. If the Windows Mobile 6.1 software is a little clunky, then so what? It looks good and it works pretty damn well. It’s like having an ugly car with a great engine. Or a great body and a face like a bull dog chewing a wasp. Either way, the TG01 certainly has something special. ‘Nuff said.

Bosma is an Indianapolis-based non-profit organization dedicated to empowering people who are blind or visually impaired. With hundreds of incoming calls every week, Bosma’s receptionist Robin Kyle, who is completely blind, uses Toshiba’s PC attendant console to handle more than 100 calls a day while managing a steady flow of visitors with call queuing. What a guy.

In addition, 78 percent of Bosma’s 150 workers are blind or visually impaired and rely on the Toshiba telephone system to utilize their business telephones. Nearly all of the workers in Bosma’s call center are blind or visually impaired.

Bosma’s IT/telecom manager, Anne Veza, said, “Our primary goal for the new telephone call queuing system was to allow our blind and visually impaired workers to be able to use the telephones. As well, we train people who are blind or visually impaired for jobs that require telephone use.”

The Toshiba TG01 is a Toshiba phone system which is a stunning handset. The phone provides a plethora of features that appeal to the masses, from its intuitive touch screen through to its internet capabilities.

The Toshiba TG01  incorporates the Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD2850 1 GHz processor and utilises Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. These are both tried and tested components that have been used in a multitude of devices. They are stable and reliable, which is essential in any business mobile phone – almost as essential as the camera and music player!

The 4.1 inch TFT resistive touch screen displays 256,000 colours at 480 x 800 pixels. Its vibrancy and colour representation makes watching videos a real pleasure – well, depending what videos you watch. The phone provides a unique 3D user interface which is both innovative and simple to use and the accelerometer function provides the means to view images in their correct aspect.

Internet access which allows web browsing is facilitated by HSDPA and Wi-Fi. This affords the user the ability to access the internet through its own connection or available hot spots located around the country – mostly in Starbucks. The large screen is perfect for web browsing and offers an enjoyable web experience unlike many phones on the market with tiny screens you can’t actually see anything on.

The Toshiba TG01 is a phone which delivers outstanding performance. Its sleek and stylish body is as well defined as its functionality. The phone system provides the means to accomplish numerous tasks with style. Quick, everybody, buy one!
