Toshiba announced today the TG01 Windows phone, a new version of its TG01 powered by Window Mobile 6.5 rather than the current Windows Mobile 6.1. The new TG01 Windows phone will be available as of October 6th.

The Toshiba TG01 is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset and comes with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and single-band (2100MHz) UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, a 4.1-inch WVGA touchscreen display, 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM, built-in GPS and aGPS, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, a microSDHC card slot (supporting cards up to 32GB), a 3.2MP camera with auto-focus, and a 1,000mAh battery.

Pricing is not expected to change.
