G900

Enjoy the ideal business partnership

Manage your business and stay on top of your workload whilst on the move with the Toshiba G900. One of the first to use the new Windows Mobile 6 operating system, the G900 includes a 3-inch wide screen for enhanced viewing quality, a fingerprint sensor function to protect the data stored on the handset, PC phone synchronisation, a full keyboard and USB flash memory connectivity. We think you'll agree that the G900 is ideal for business on the move.

Security

The fingerprint sensor feature ensures that the G900 is secure against unauthorised access and can also be used to navigate the phone's menu.

Full keyboard

The full keyboard makes it easy to write messages and emails on the move.

Wide screen

Viewing quality is further enhanced by the stunning, high resolution, 3-inch wide, colour W-VGA display

Memory

The G900 allows you to read and write directly to a USB flash memory device. In addition the G900 has 64 MB of internal memory so you can store plenty of information and if you need more, you can always use the optional miniSD card.

Communication and Data Connectivity

The G900 is a triband 3G enabled handset, making this an ideal travel companion.

Retrieve e-mails with attachments, enjoy superb quality-video streaming and fast downloading of video clips.

Support for Bluetooth, WiFi and USB provides seamless connection between your laptop and G900 and gives you more control over the way you work.

A secondary camera for video calling helps you to keep in touch.

Make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular phone line.

Stay on top of your workload on the move using Microsoft Direct Push email technology, the familiar Microsoft Office Outlook tools plus support for Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Camera

Use the 2 mega pixel camera to take crisp, clear digital images and videos, which can then be viewed on the stunning colour screen or shared with friends.

Music  

Carry your favourite music without the need for a separate device. Windows Media Player Mobile syncs music and media files with Windows Media Player on a PC.

Oh my... this is one device i'm REALLY excited about! And now for the piece-de-la-resistance... the pics - press shots, and detail shots after the jump with a second Toshiba Standard / Smartphone device (RG4-E01 detailed here). Drool away (I know I am)

Man, I've got one already. Just as a phone with history and editing noted it is just fine. The other features sucks so much I tired to spit around. Everything you touch is really sucking. Installing just simole two programs and the memory is over. Put SD card takes much time to run. Photocamera... better it does not exist at all, one of the worst stuff meaning you can catch a photo unless you stick a phone onto trinog. To work with it it's real headache no settings saved, stupid functional structure. There is no minimizing button then how you can minimize. So you can't run two programs. On the other hand you quit a media player but it still plays. Wow so you cant kill the process you need to start the player again then stop then quit. I can write volumes of sucking things of it but spare your time. Does it worth it for 700 bucks. One more verrry important thing. the display in it is dangerous. It shows you so little things that you prepare to wear the thickest glasses after a half an hour of working with this beauty. Your sight will have defects. The screen is tiny unless you set the largest letters to see. But 4 other including microscope_watch modes is pointless. You can't use it unless you connect to big display but it does not have a plug then it is just in vain.
Geez, it too expansive to use very limited with features phone and all for that money.
Disappointed!!!!!!!!

This is the same rubbish you posted elsewhere but your English seems to be getting even worse! You don't know how WM works, can't be bothered to learn and just slang it off. I suggest you buy a Nokia and give up with WM and leave it to people who appreciate it.
