Toshiba Announces Portege G710 QWERTY Smartphone

According to PocketPCItalia.com Toshiba has officially announced a bunch of phones and one of them is a Windows Mobile 6 Standard based device featuring the popular QWERTY candy bar form factor. The original story is in Italian, the Google translation can be found here. I love the design, looks elegant and has a trackball for navigation. This design could have easily given the Blackjack and the Q9h series a tough competition if it included the 3G radio in its specs. It is sad to see a device slated to hit the market in March 2008 not having 3G. The other key highlights of this smart phone are GPS, 2.46" screen and Quad-band GSM.
