Time to dust off the ole memory bank, folks. Toshiba’s G910 super-device, which hit the FCC at the tail end of 2007, has finally been acquired, unboxed, photographed and reviewed. In one place, too — isn’t that so convenient? For starters, it’s tough to argue with an 800 x 480 resolution display, but you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who considers the overall style to be anywhere close to sexy. Overall, the Portege G910 was deemed a lackluster business phone with above average battery life, though the inability to function on a US 3G network was a real downer for those in the States. Additionally, it lagged behind in pure performance, and a diversity of quirks caused the reviewer to utilize the handy reset button “a lot.” Seems like a glance at the pics may be as close as you’ll ever want to get with this one.

The so-called Paris halo phone from Sony Ericsson has been rumored as a successor to the P1 seemingly since before the P1 even existed, promising a sliding QWERTY rocker keypad, HSDPA, serious shooting power, and a fashion sense that should let it fit in Bot. in social and corporate settings with equal aplomb. It’s a minor detail, granted, but at this time it seems like we know what to call it: P200. That’s the official model number being floated by a leaked profile document on Sony Ericsson’s site, though the mention of mere QVGA resolution to fill the rumored 2.6-inch display is a pretty big downer. With high-res displays finally becoming a big deal in smartphones this year, we can imagine a decent number of shoppers passing over this one thanks to that little indiscretion alone. Last chance to send this one back to the drawing board and swap out the display, guys!
