Innovative Design and Release Date
The TG01 was released in June 2009, after being announced in January of the same year. With a thickness of just 9.9mm and weighing only 129g, it was one of the thinnest and lightest smartphones of its time. Its slim and compact design made it easy to carry and handle, setting it apart from other devices in the market.
Operating System and Network Capabilities
One of the key features of the TG01 was its operating system – Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. This operating system provided a smooth and efficient user experience, and the device was later upgradable to Windows Mobile 6.5.
In terms of network capabilities, the TG01 supported both GSM and HSPA technology, allowing for faster data speeds. It also had a microSDHC slot for expandable storage, providing users with ample space for their data and media.
Revolutionary Display and Platform
The TG01 boasted a 4.1-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with 256K colors (65K effective) and a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It also featured a unique 3D UI and shake control, giving users an immersive and interactive experience.
Under the hood, the device was powered by a Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon S1 chipset and a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU, along with an Adreno 200 GPU. This combination allowed for smooth multitasking and efficient performance, making the TG01 stand out from its competitors.
Memory, Camera, and Sound
The TG01 came with 256MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM, along with a dedicated microSDHC slot for expandable storage. It also featured a 3.15MP primary camera with autofocus and the capability to record videos at 480p@30fps. However, it did not have a front-facing selfie camera.
In terms of sound, the device had a loudspeaker and supported MP3/eAAC+/WMA and MP4/H.264/WMV player, making it a great choice for media consumption. It also had Facebook and YouTube apps, a photo editor, voice memo/dial, and other organizational tools.
Battery Life and Other Noteworthy Features
The TG01 was powered by a removable Li-Ion 1000 mAh battery, which provided a standby time of up to 276 hours on 2G and 220 hours on 3G, and a talk time of up to 5 hours on 2G and 4 hours on 3G. It was available in black and white colors, and had a SAR rating of 0.37 W/kg (head) and 0.44 W/kg (body).
Other notable features of the TG01 include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS, an accelerometer, and a dedicated microUSB port. It also had a WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML (IE) browser and supported Pocket Office, making it a useful tool for business professionals on-the-go.
The End of an Era
Despite its impressive features and design, the TG01 was discontinued after its release. However, it remains a fan-favorite among retro-tech enthusiasts and is remembered as a trailblazer in its time. The TG01 will always hold a special place in the hearts of Toshiba fans and continue to be a symbol of innovation and progress.
