Toshiba has launched a new handset, the 811T, for the Vodafone Japan carrier, which rumors say will change its name into Softbank. The tri-band clamshell will work on GSM 900/1800/1900 Mhz and W-CDMA, and will also offer GPS capability and Bluetooth connectivity.

The handset will also feature a 2.4 inch TFT LCD 240x320 pixels display, a primary 3.2 megapixel digital camera with LED flash and a 0.3 megapixel QVGA one for video conferencing, a microSD expansion memory card slot that can accept memory cards up to 1 gigabyte, infrared, the Yahoo access key omnipresent in Japanese mobile phones, stereo speakers, dedicated music keys and, of course, a music player so they have what to operate.

The device also has an external OLED display so you can view information about the playing song, be able to control the phone and see who calls you without opening it.

The 811T is manufactured exclusively for Vodafone Japan and will be available on the commercial channels from Japan some time during November at a price that is yet unknown.
