At least it's not covered in truckloads of gaudy diamonds. Toshiba has launched the newest handset aimed at the luxury market (otherwise known as the more-money-than-we-know-what-to-do-with crowd). The Toshiba Cosmic Shiner is basically a Toshiba 815T adorned with a smattering of diamonds and commands a healthy $4000 price tag. Toshiba is really milking their Toshiba 815T [...]

You mean companies can sue for copyright infringement on the design of a particular handset? That must have been news to Toshiba, seeing as how they blatantly copied a RakuRaku handset made by Fujitsu. You see, the Toshiba Kandan Keitai 821T is an almost carbon-copy of the Fujitsu Foma RakuRaku Phone III, prompting NTT DoCoMo [...]

Sometimes I just love the folks behind the FCC. Thanks to them, we find out about the upcoming devices way before handset makers want us to. That being said, we’ve recently spotted what seems like two powerful Toshiba-made smartphones called Portege G910 & Portege G920. And while it’s not that clear what’s the difference between the two devices, we can say that both of them are made to appeal to the high-end smartphone users. As a matter of fact, the image above reminds us on both Nokia Communicator and Windows Mobile powered QTEK devices. As for the specs, we see a tri-band GSM radio, WCDMA, Bluetooth, WiFi, USB 2.0, two cameras (main at least 2 MP with flash light), large 3″ display (possibly a touchscreen), microSD slot and the powerful 1320 mAh Li-ion battery. As for the OS, Toshiba has used Windows Mobile on many of their devices, so I guess they’ll continue to do so with these two phones as well. Personally I don’t like the way it looks at this stage. But, it’s also important to know the final product may be slightly changed in terms of design and hopefully the color choice. We’ll wait and see… [Via: Unwired View ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Verizon Wireless backs off FCC lawsuit over upcoming 700Mhz spectrum auctionFCC to change rules for upcoming 700Mhz frequency spectrum auctionHTC Cavalier gets unboxed!Nokia 8600 approved by the FCCNokia 7500 spotted on FCC pages

Again, we see great phones hitting the uber-advanced Japanese mobile phones market. One device that recently caught our eyes is the newly announced Toshiba 920T. Aside from lack of WiFi support which curiously isn’t present in many of the phones for the Japanese market, it has everything else including large screen, 3G radio, GPS, 3.2 MP camera and one-seg mobile TV receiver. It’s a slider device and as you can see from the image above, it’s very slick and stylish… [Via: MobileWhack ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Toshiba communicatorToshiba's Apple iPhone Killer - 911TToshiba G900 gets patch to fix the "standby of death" bugNokia may be in more hot water with Japan for overheating batteriesApple to introduce iPhone in Japan by the end of 2008?
