We were all over Toshiba's drop dead thin and gorgeous TG01 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/TG01/) last year, so naturally a chance to peek at the rumored TG02 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/TG02/) first hand was something we couldn't pass up. Very little is new here, the touchscreen technology has seen resistive swapped with capacitive, the device has become a wee bit smaller while retaining the monster 4.1-inch display, and some 3D touches have been added to the SPB Mobile Shell-skinned Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. Like its older sibling, the handset is still a thing of beauty and the 1GHz Snapdragon (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Snapdragon/) does make it all purr along very nicely -- and while the UI isn't really a custom one -- we like the ability to flip between pages kinda like iPhone and Android do now. All in, this is a pretty decent effort, and removing some of the pain that was the resistive display can only make the TG02 better. Follow on for a tour and a gallery of shots.
