Toshiba TG01, the Windows Mobile-based smartphone that comes to the market with Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset, has been caught wandering through FCC's hallways, where it received the blessing for use in the US. The device that was spotted at FCC is reportedly coming with CDMA connectivity, which means that there are two carriers that might receive it, namely Sprint and Verizon.

According to the FCC filling, the device might be quite close to become available on the market due to the fact that the tested unit was “production,” and not prototype, as it normally happens. Although the FCC approval usually does not imply that the handheld will actually come to the market, nor unveil details on the availability or price, this time, it seems that it won't be too long before the gadget makes it to the shelves in the US.

And we can safely assume that there are users who can hardly wait for it to arrive, as they will not only receive a powerful Windows Mobile 6.1-powered handset, but a good looking one as well. The Toshiba TG01 boasts a 4.1-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen that delivers an 800 x 480 pixel resolution, while also featuring a rather slim design, being only 0.39 inches thin.

The Snapdragon chipset comes with a 1 GHz processor, which means that users will be able to enjoy enhanced multimedia capabilities, built-in GPS receiver, Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as fast navigation and speedy applications on the device. In addition, the mobile phone has an on-screen virtual trackpad and a wide suite of Microsoft entertainment and productivity software solutions. As soon as the Windows Mobile 6.5 flavor of Microsoft's OS becomes available, the Toshiba TG01 will be even more attractive, as it has already been announced to be eligible for an upgrade. Stick around to learn more on the phone's arrival in the US.
