The Toshiba G910 Portege is built around the Windows Mobile 6 operating system and offers full size Microsoft Office applications while on the move. Add a 3 inch touch display and Bluetooth connectivity and you have a mobile office in your pocket. Network connectivity is taken care of with Tri-band GSM/EDGE and HSDPA 3G support. Web access can also be handled with the Wi-Fi connection if available. Photographs can be taken on the Toshiba G910's 2 megapixel camera and sent out via the push email client or stored on the large on board memory. For added security a biometric fingerprint r
eader is added to lock the device and applications. Built in GPS offers a navigation solution while out of the office.
The other slightly confusing thing is the model number - both theToshiba G910 Portege and G920 feature built-in GPS, but on the G920 this has been upgraded to A-GPS (Advanced GPS). Since this is a carrier dependent feature, you may see some networks offering the Toshiba G910 Portege with others offering the G920. Quite why Toshiba didn't just bundled A-GPS as standard is a mystery. Toshiba say that both models offer Qualcomm's gpsOneXTRA Assistance™ technology to improve fix times and accuracy in urban areas. Toshiba indicate that there is a navigation system built in, or you can add your own favourite SatNav package if you wish.
Like the Nokia E90, the Toshiba G910 Portege has an 800 pixel wide display which is ideal for web browsing. However, the Toshiba display has more screen real estate at 800 x 480 pixels (compared with the Nokia's 800 x 352 pixels), and crucially the Toshiba G910 Portege has a touchscreen as well. The Toshiba's 3" display is one of the highest resolution screens around, most competing devices only manage 320 x 240 pixels, with a handful of 640 x 480 pixel displays around.
As you have probably guessed already, this is a Windows Mobile 6 device, so it comes bundled with pocket versions of Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player. Security has been enhanced by a fingerprint reader, the Opera web browser has been included, but other than that it seems that Toshiba haven't tried to jazz the interface up in the way that HTC tends to.
