Toshiba has announced it’s close to signing a deal with a UK MNO to take one or more of it’s new handsets (the ones launched at MWC). Tosh isn’t really well-known for handsets in UK, although some people may be familiar with it’s Portege range (a brand shared with it’s Laptop division). If this deal did come off, it would add to the distribution already rolled out with France Telecom for the G901.
Of all the devices (and my personal bet for the one the MNO will take), the G450 is the most interesting – I’ve mentioned it here before if you desire the detail, but simply, it’s an HSDPA USB modem, which is also an mp3 player and a phone!
Come on Tosh, let’s have the modem in the UK!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
