Toshiba Portege G910

One of the larger devices seen at last week's Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona was the Toshiba G910, a communicator style Windows Mobile 6 smartphone that wields a massive 3", WVGA (800x480) resolution touch display as well as a full size QWERTY keyboard. The first impression of the device iss that it's very large, and that the keyboard isn't so impressive, in spite of all of the physical space Toshiba's designers had to work with when putting it together. The clamshell's hinge seems too loose to be particularly durable.

Apart from those issues, though, the G910 seemed OK. The small external display is handy, though it doesn't provide all that much in terms of information. The device comes equipped with an auto-focus capable 2 megapixel camera. The fingerprint scanner, something found in a number of Toshiba devices over the years, is also a nice touch.

The real downside about the G910 has to be its support for only tri-band GSM and 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA, which means that we won't be seeing this device in the North American market any time soon.
