Toshiba v Samsung:Clash Of The G810s
They must be running out of cell phone model numbers, because Toshiba and Samsung have both just introduced new models called the G810. Toshiba’s G810 is part of the Portege line and runs Windows Mobile 6. The Toshiba version supports HSDPA and HSUPA, and includes the latest mobile darling, GPS. A-GPS is thrown in for good measure. You’ll also get a touch screen interface, a standard-issue 3.0-megapixel camera, an FM radio, built-in portable music player and a microSD expansion slot.
In no way should you confuse the Toshiba G810 with the Samsung G810. First of all, Sammy’s version is more properly addressed as the G810 Ultra Edition. Although you’ll still get the HSDPA connectivity, built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, the portable music player and so on, Sammy’s G810 is a slider that runs the S60 OS. You’ll step up to a 5.0 megapixel camera if you go the Sammy route. And touch it all you want, but it’s not a touch screen device.
The G810s make their European debut in either the second quarter (Toshiba) or the first quarter (Samsung) depending upon which model you choose.
