Toshiba’s Windows Mobile-powered QWERTY touchscreen-slider, K01, has cleared the FCC, giving us hope we’ll see it released sooner rather than later. The K01 is probably one of the most desirable WinMo devices announced to date. The trick is the fact that it combines a large 4.1-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen alongside a full side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. Yap, I want one, despite preferring other mobile operating systems over Windows Mobile.
What I like about Windows Mobile (and not about Android and iPhone OS, for instance) is the ability to connect my Bluetooth keyboard to a smartphone and type more comfortably. And while I’m on this, I hope Apple and Google will include the Bluetooth HID profile to the mix to enable the same thing (connecting keyboards) with their respective platforms.
Anyway, I already contacted Toshiba for a review unit, but since that was the prototype we’ve seen at the Mobile World Congress, they don’t have a working unit and couldn’t answer to my demand. As soon as the K01 is released, I’ll contact them again – have no doubts about it.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
