Toshiba TG01 promotional video
Toshiba UK has put up this video of the Toshiba TG01, showing amongst other things the soft keyboard and virtual D-pad.
One disappointing feature is that poor lack of customization that’s apparent, with the dialler for example being completely unchanged.

Its just horrible – beautiful piece of hardware, beautiful concept of today interface and it still takes just one tap to get to default WinMo mail app. Expectations were high but they’re all gone now. Dissapointed. It’s just another WM device with nothing but good specs… HTC, Samsung, and from what I’ve seen in online videos also LG are doing much better job at delivering both specs and a nice way to use them.

OMG, WinMo 6.1 ^^
I agree with manual_, it could have been a good device but the custom UI isn´t that nice and Toshiba left out lots of things HTC added.
point on innovation and not copying whats out there.
i like the vanilla dialer- on a large screen it will be fine, how often do u see it?
as for 1 tap to default WM mail…. whats worng with that?? if u don’t like the menu i think u can change it to go sms or mail by default.

Something must be wrong with default WM since phone manufacturers are working their asses off to hide it;)
I agree that this striped interface is innovative. I think it’s brilliant actually! It’s just that it is so shallow. It kills the fun of using it completely. What is worse you get one user experience when using Toshiba’s part and then you get WM experience. WM is inconsistent by itself. The fact that Toshibas solution is so incomplete only causes more confusion.

I’m a WinMob man not because it looks nice but because of its integration around my current systems, although the interfaces have been fairly modded are we looking too much at the iPhone when we’re making these judgements?

There’s nothing wrong with looking at modern smartphone OSes like iPhone OS X, WebOS, Android, etc. when evaluating WM phones. WM’s UI was not bad for when it competed against PalmOS a decade ago, but today, WM 6.1′s UI is clearly a sub-optimal solution for pretty much all types of users. Most other platforms today offer a much smoother user experience.
As for integration, WM used to have significant data infrastructural advantages- Outlook desktop sync, Exchange support, etc., but those have mostly been pretty much wiped out (iPhone’s Exchange integration is even arguably better in some ways- e.g. email client, searching corporate contacts, etc.). WM still allows finer controls in an enterprise deployment scenario, but besides that, I can’t really think of any data systems that WM integrates with that other platforms don’t (and in most cases, better/more easily).

i think is a good idea to create a new style modern smartphone, just to copy others traditonal method isn't a good way to innovation, if not, your business willcollapse. it is true.
what is the problem with that ?
there is no progress if there is no create
