More Details and Pics of the Toshiba G900
"Toshiba is going to denominate concretely to this new device like �Porteg� G900�, will be available in Castilian and its price does not have to surpass the 600 euros. His small brother, also the interesting G500 of that shortly we will contribute more data will happen to denominate �Porteg� G500�, also available in Castilian and with an approximated price of 500 euros."
todoPocketPC.com have been hard at work digging up information on the G900 (Google translation here). The demo units are running a beta version of WM6, price is pretty reasonable (if it's unlocked that is), and best of all it appears that our speculation over the memory configuration appears to be wrong - it looks very much like the G900 will have 128MB RAM and 128MB ROM  . Let's hope that stays true in the production units. You can take a gander at the high-res pics that todoPocketPC.com have taken here.
Update:
Mea Culpa! Due to my ignorance and appalling bad taste  ops: , I made a mistake in posting the photos from the todoPocketPC.com site in this post. Please use the link above to view the photos and my sincerest apologies to all concerned.

Can anyone confirm the cellular bands the G900 is going to work on?
So far we have had people "confirm" that it is triband GSM, single band 3G AND others have "confirmed" that it is quad band GSM, tri band 3G???
I guess what we need now is a screen shot showing which bands it will use, or an official spec sheet from Toshiba, confirming just one of the current confirmations.

Is this device likely to make it to the US market?

Looks like the now-familiar 64/128 we all know and hate. What are you seeing that I don't in the images?

I believe that the 64MB of memory mentioned on Toshiba's flyers refers to 64MB available Flash storage.

Ah - when I saw 53/121 I immediately thought 64/128. Forgot about the OS. Silly me.

Guys, I'll have to apologise here - in my excitement I posted all the photos without asking for permission first, so they'll have to go. You can still view them through the todoPocketPC.com gallery.

Seems like this device is stirring quiet a few people. Like a lot is riding on this, I hope Toshiba pulls it off, so I hope they get quad band and all those cellular things up to par.
