"What would you give for a WM6 QWERTY with a 3-inch screen touting an 800 x 480 pixel resolution? Well, reader Kim Nyberg forked over a €635/$860 premium to Expansys for the Toshiba Portege G900 and has the unboxing pics to prove it. And you thought $599 was expensive. Oh, did we mention it's tri-band HSDPA with WiFi?"
Right on time! In case you've missed the news, this device marks Toshiba's return to the Windows Mobile arena, and what a comeback it is - WM6 Pro, 3" WVGA screen (take that Apple!), USB OTG, BT 2.0 EDR, 128MB RAM, 2MP camera, and biometric scanner. The only fly in the ointment is tri-band GSM and single band HSDPA (yes, Engadget got it wrong) - you're going to find it hard to use if you're in the US. Otherwise this is a humdinger of a device, and pace Engadget again, $860 unlocked puts this well within the ballpark for a device with these specs.
