Toshiba has unveiled three new cellphones in its Portégé range, the G450 (pictured here), the G710 and the G910 (both pictured after the cut), the latter two of which are fairly sensible smartphones while the former is a stick of bizarre split-keypad madness. In effect a USB UMTS/HSDPA modem that can also double up as an occasional cellphone, it has an OLED screen, 160MB of memory, T9 for text messaging (though I still imagine it’d be a nightmare trying to type one out) and a media player.


Somewhat more sensible as a phone, the G710 (above) looks distinctly Motorola Q-like, and has quad-band GSM/EDGE, a 480 x 800 QVGA display, A2DP Bluetooth, GPS and runs the Windows Mobile 6 Standard OS.

Finally, the G910 is a Windows Mobile 6 Pro clamshell with dual displays (the internal one being a 3-inch measuring 480 x 800), HSDPA and WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, a fingerprint scanner, 2-megapixel camera and, on the outside, a mini-trackball to navigate calls and SMS messages.
The G450 and G710 are expected to drop in Italy at least come March, priced at roughly €199 ($292) and €300 ($440) respectively, while the G910 should arrive in April for around €600 ($879).
