IFA Toshiba is revamping its TG01 Windows Mobile smartphone. Well, sort of. The hardware's staying the same so far as we can judge - it's just getting a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade.
Still, that's enough for Toshiba to claim the update as a "new" model: the TG01 Windows Phone.

Boxed versions of the phone will go on sale on 6 October, the day of Windows Mobile 6.5's official launch. The download will be available on the same date. ®
