"Toshiba will officially release its latest Smartphone in 8 days (June 20th), the G810. Like the G710 and G910, this new Smartphone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, and boasts HSDPA and HSUPA support. Otherwise, it features a large 2.83" QVGA (320 x 240) touch screen, 3Mpix camera, Bluetooth v2.0, USB v2.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g, FM radio with RDS, built-in GPS & A-GPS, and up to 4GB of memory"

Kids today don't know how good they have it. I used to have to walk 8 miles in the snow uphill both ways to and from the device websites looking for goodies to be released this early in the year! New device release time is traditionally in the fall, but with offerings ike this one from Toshiba, perhaps this year Labor Day is coming early. This model certainly packs a punch, with only VGA missing as a major feature in this form factor. Anyone hoping that "release" is also "shipping" date as far as this one goes?
