Phonescoop have published this video showing the Toshiba TG01 running Windows Mobile 6.5.3.  Of course the correspondent appears to have mistaken Toshiba’s own keyboard for a new Windows Mobile one, reminding us that we still have to see Microsoft’s effort regarding this. 

It is however encouraging to see such a positive response to the changes Microsoft has made, which should bode well for the wider release of devices running the update.

One interesting feature I have not seen before in the drop down notification bar appears to be a search option. Do any of our readers know more about this?  Let us know below.

Microsoft has not said much about it, but Windows Mobile 6.5.3 handsets appear to be trickling out despite the official silence surrounding the project.

Neowin spotted two such handsets at Microsoft’s stand at CES, the massive Toshiba TG01 with its 1 Ghz processor and 4.1 inch screen, and the only slightly less demure Pharos Traveler 137.

According to Neowin both devices were running Build 23091.5.3.0.

It is likely we can expect many more handsets running the updated OS being shown of at the upcoming Mobile World Congress.

Toshiba has just announced the arrival in Spain of Toshiba TG01 with Windows Mobile 6.5. Previously it was for sale with Windows Mobile 6.1. From Tuesday 22 December it will be purchased with Windows Mobile 6.5.

Those who already have the terminal can upgrade to version 6.5 in Spanish from Toshiba’s official website in Europe. So far the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5 was available only in English, German and French.

With the arrival of the HTC HD2 its easy to forget about the 1 Ghz trailblazer, to Toshiba TG01. Despite its low profile the device, which was one of the first to be demoed with Windows Mobile 6.5, is apparently not doing too poorly. 

According to Yasahiro Yamada, general manager for overseas sales and marketing, Toshiba Mobile Communications, sales of the smartphone have been strong in a number of markets in Europe, including the UK, Spain, France, Germany and Italy.

The smartphone has just been announced for some more carriers in Japan, is rumoured for Verizon in USA, and has now been announced for release in Taiwan for around $647.

Toshiba is planning to release more models next year, including QWERTY devices and multi-media products, Yamada said.

PhoneArena has received a hot tip which indicated the Toshiba TG01, CDMA version, is coming to Verizon pretty soon.

The evidence is pretty indirect, and consists of the device showing up on Cellebrite machine, used to transfer information from one handset to another (see the picture above).

The device, when released, will likely be a further indication that the iPhone is not coming to the network.
