Toshiba TG01, promising or another WM dud?

Toshiba's latest smartphone creation, TG01, has been the buzz in the mobile market lately. Aside from its uber-thinness at 9mm and a minimalist design that resembles the iPhone, its whats inside that is truly special (no, I am not talking about its mundane WM6.1).

Whats interesting about the TG01 is the CPU known as Snapdragon which is a product of Qualcomm. This CPU goes up to 1GHz in processing speed while keep a very low power draw thus has high potential of keeping this smartphone with longer battery life. TG01 is the first phone ever to feature the Snapdragon processor.

Whats interesting about this phone:
* 1GHz Snapdragon CPU with low power usage
* 8GB internal memory w/ microSDHC slot supporting up to 32GB expansion
* Toshiba's "split menu" touch user interface hiding the ugly WM6.1 OS
* Toshiba claims to have taken its TV technology and shared it with the gorgeous 4.1" display
* 800x480 WVGA resolution, 802.11b/g, 3G, GSM Quadband and 3.1MP camera

Whats not cool about this phone:
* WM6.1
* Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack (microUSB adaptor required)

I think this phone has high potential and has big time sex appeal, I just wish it would have been equipped with Android and a 3.5mm headphone jack (by now missing this feature is unacceptable).
