Toshiba unveils the Portégé, otherwise known as the other G810

It looks like Samsung isn’t the only company releasing a device called the G810; perhaps nobody told Toshiba. At any rate Toshiba’s Portégé G810 is quite a different beast with the spec sheet suggesting more of a focus on business use as opposed to high-end mobile photography.

So it’s no surprise that the Portégé is a Windows Mobile based handset with full Microsoft Office Mobile support. The device is packing HSDPA connectivity as well as connectivity to GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 3G and both GPS and A-GPS too. Amazingly the connectivity of the Portégé doesn’t end there with support for Bluetooth and wifi thrown in too.

A micro SD card slot takes care of storage with the less serious side of the device handled by Windows Media Player Mobile. Elsewhere on the media front there is a 3 mega-pixel camera and FM radio to play with. Impressively the whole lot has been squeezed into a 14mm thin sliding shell with a lovely big 2.83” QVGA screen nestling on top.

No word as of yet when the Portégé will ship or how much it will cost but we will certainly be keeping a sharp eye on this impressive sounding smartphone (as will Samsung no doubt).
