Toshiba shows off slate of smartphone prototypes

[dwizzy130]

The admittedly powerful TG01 has been carrying the flagship banner for awhile at Toshiba's smartphone division, but if a brief look at CEATEC gives us any indication of what's to come, we'd say you can look forward to hearing an awful lot more from Tosh in this here sector. Behind a small glass case, a smattering of smartphone prototypes were quietly sitting pretty in effort to be photographed. Naturally, we took 'em all up on the offer, snapping the K01, K02 and L01 and hosting them in the gallery below. We're told that the lot is actually nearing production, with the K01 packing a 4.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, the K02 a 3.5-inch resistive panel (with an 800 x 480 resolution) and the L01 a 7-inch screen within a MID-like form factor. Each of the three are to be powered by Windows Mobile 6.5, though we wouldn't argue if WinMo 7 ended up being the OS of choice. Video's after the break.

DAMN! Those look hot! That slider with the full KB has got to be one of the thinnest phones ever with a keyboard.

Yea, no kidding. And it probably has at least the same specs of the TG01 which is a beast, so I can't wait. We might have an up incoming LEO killer.lol

Wow, I'm loving that K01!

Large, cap screen WITH a real keyboard!

It doesn't get any better than that!

I hope ATT gets it...and that my Fuze holds out until then (by that time I'll be eligible for an upgrade).. I'll skip TouchPro2/Tilt2 and Leo for the K01..
