Toshiba have announced the Toshiba Portege G810, a phone with features to rival the Apple iPhone. Now while it may have the features to match the iPhone - and may I say that many phones now do have equal, if not better, features than the iPhone - the Portege G810 is probably not going to do as well as it doesn't have the cult followers and hardcore fans that Apple has!
The Toshiba Portege G810 has a touchscreen, albeit a smaller one than the iPhone, but at least it does have some buttons on it for the traditionalists among us.
It has an MP3 player, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a web browser, just like the iPhone. It does have the following which are missing from 'that phone': GPS, 3G, FM radio, expandable memory (microSD card) and a 3.15 megapixel camera (compared to the 2 megapixel on the iPhone). So it really is a great all-round mobile phone - obviously it makes calls & texts, but it plays your music, can direct you to a new location, show you your favourite websites and has a high quality camera.
So overall the Portege G810 has great features, but the lack of an Apple logo will probably mean it won't sell in the millions! Expect the Toshiba Portege G810 by summer 2008.
