Toshiba UK today unveiled the Portégé G910, built around Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the G910 offers the full suite of Microsoft Office solutions, including Powerpoint, Word, Excel and Outlook push email. Moreover, the G910 features a biometric fingerprint security solution for instant, secure access to the phone, has built in GPS for real-time navigation and has a 3" Wide-VGA touch screen that is perfect for displaying web pages. It will be available across Europe in the first quarter of 2008.

The Portégé G910 acts like a 'mobile hub' helping users stay connected whether for business or pleasure. From managing emails, accessing the corporate Intranet or working on Microsoft Office files to catching-up with friends, listening to music or even playing films on the Windows Media Player. The G910 is the perfect companion to help achieve that ideal work life balance.

The G910’s sleek, sophisticated clamshell design and full QWERTY keyboard gives it the look and feel of a mini laptop. Furthermore, the Portegé G910 provides the ultimate in security with a biometric fingerprint reader allowing only the user to unlock and access all the content on their device – ideal for ensuring this doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.

The built-in GPS function has added benefits to the user by mapping out location and directions from A to B in seconds, perfect for the busy business traveller trying to find their way in a city or new town/country. By supporting Qualcomm’s gpsOneXTRA Assistance™ technology, the G910 provides a faster ‘first fix’ with greater GPS sensitivity indoors and in challenging dense urban environments.
