The Toshiba TG01 sure didn’t get a lot of love when it was announced. Toshiba just doesn’t have the same brand recognition that HTC or even Samsung have when it comes to Windows Mobile devices. Yes, it was the first device to ship with Qualcomm’s 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, but the operating system sitting on top of that power hardware was Windows Mobile 6.1. Yes, it did eventually receive and upgrade to 6.5, but the damage to the TG01′s reputation was already done when Toshiba’s public relations people showed off their “innovative” skin on top of Windows Mobile that was no where near as nice as HTC’s Sense UI or Sony Ericson’s Panels.

Enough poo pooing on the TG01, the TG02 is making its way through the FCC which means it will probably be announced next month at Mobile World Congress! No specifications to share with you, except that it’s a quadband device with 2100 MHz and 900 MHz HSPA, sorry North America. The leaked image below is the best/only leak we have so far:
