Toshiba's 908A: Softbank style, global support


A rare moment of clarity for a Japanese manufacturer realizing that the remainder of the world lusts after its equipment? We're not sure what sparked this, but Softbank's Toshiba-sourced 813T is allegedly coming to other parts of the GSM world (not ours, we're guessing) as the 908A. Specs include 3.2 megapixel primary and VGA secondary cams, triband GSM and single-band WCDMA, microSD expansion, stereo speakers, and 2.4 inch internal plus 0.8 inch external OLED displays. Not breathtaking, but not bad, either -- and the Japanese connection gives it +15 cool factor. Look for it in late spring or early summer.
