Toshiba TG01 Tsunagi

With good finishes and a rather unusual design, this stands out in the touch phones croud with its large 4.1 inches screen. With a thickness of 9.9 mm, it weights only 129g, as a length of 13 cm and a width of 7 cm, so it can pass almost unnoticed in your jeans pocket.

To improve the usability of Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, Toshiba has integrated an interesting overlay based on slides. Each of them corresponds to a type of use: mail, applications, tools, multimedia. This overlay is rather original but it is limited to the home page.

In most cases, you'll need ro use the stylus. The tactile experience is less comfortable than the Google Phone or iPhone and will often try several times to launch an application ... The TG01 uses the accelerometer well... just shake the mobile to return to the home page or to answer a call.

The power granted by the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip (which runs for the first time in a mobile phone) is not obvious in games (although there's no mobile game today really exploiting the power of this processor). However, with its 1 GHz processor, this phone is far from being a turtle.

Despite a few bugs rather surprising - random backlight (switch off the automatic backlight option), reboot and especially capricious sudden closedown (this last generally common in some Nokia phones) - , it has many arguments to position itself as the ultimate Internet tablet. With a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, it is possible to display a Web page in full screen. In addition, the virtual QWERTY keyboard performs its task. Apart from its resistive screen that requires finger pressure, it is actually a good web pad.With his extraordinary display, is also a remarkable video player compatible with DivX (via CorePlayer).

At connection, this phone is not especially well fit. No jack, but a single USB socket that handles synchronization, earphones and power. No large internal memory (512 MB ROM), instead you can count on the microSD slot to store your content, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB.

It hasn't got a front camera and its autofocus sensor of 3.2 megapixels (without flash) is usable. In terms of connectivity: HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, Wi-Fi b / g, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS. For last, with a battery of only 1 000 mAh, hardly offers a day in intensive use.
