FCC Approves Toshiba Satellite G900
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "HARDWARE" @ 03:00 AM
"Originally announced as the Portege G900 at the 3GSM conference earlier this year, the device apparently will be marketed under the firm’s “Satellite” brand, run Windows Mobile 6 and offer a feature set that will make most of its competitors look antiquated."
Before anybody gets too excited, FCC approval does not equate to any surety that a device will be released in the US - it just means it's legal for you to use it there. Having said that the chances are a lot higher, though I wouldn't pretend to know if any carriers are going to pick this baby up, especially given that this represents new ground for Toshiba. BTW, the TG article got a few facts wrong, and I seriously don't think it'll go for $500 without some serious subsidies. About the only real surprise here is the Satellite branding instead of Portege - anybody here know what the implications of that are?
