Toshiba are trying to take a position on the market of Windows Mobile powered mobile phones by introducing a couple of new devices, one of which run Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphones, while the other runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional (phone with touch display). Not very new, but still interesting is the feature called "Fingerprint Sensor". Located on the back side of the device is sensor, which you should touch in order to unlock your device, if you have activated this option.

Toshiba Portege G500 is standard slider, based on Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphones – it is one of the very few slider Smartphones which makes it a phone with great functionality, small size and stylish design in one. The slider spring offers very strong performance and opening and closing it is a pleasure. The keyboards on both the upper and bottom slider are also very comfortable to use.

The main features of G500 include high-speed HSDPA data, Wi-Fi, 2-mega pixel camera and tri-band GSM for Europe.

Toshiba Portege G900 is Windows Mobile 6 Professional (previously known as Pocket PC) device. It is also a slider, but is opened horizontally, to reveal full QWERTY keyboard as the one of the HTC TyTN (Cingular 8525). The spring for this slider is also very strong and it opens the keyboard very abruptly. One of the greatest things about the G900 is its display, with W-VGA resolution of 800x480 pixels, cramped in 3" large wide-screen. This allows it to display more information than a standard QVGA or VGA display, with very high detail thanks to the high dots per inch ratio. All the web pages designed for 800x600 resolution are viewed without a horizontal scroll.
The features of the G900 are identical to the ones of G500 and again include HSDPA, Wi-Fi and 2-mega pixel camera
