Toshiba TG01 passes FCC with some CDMA thrown in


The Snapdragon-powered Toshiba TG01 is a beast of a phone -- as Windows Mobile-powered phones go, anyway -- but for Americans, theres one small problem: its not clear how, when, or if its getting here. We still dont have many answers there, but weve got one piece of very encouraging news in the FCC approval of a CDMA flavor today, bearing all the hardware youll need to use the phone on a carrier like... oh, you know, Sprint or Verizon. Even better, the test documents list the device as "production" -- many FCC filings use prototype hardware -- suggesting that this is pretty close to being ready for market. So, as we said, Sprint or Verizon have to be ramping up for this -- but which one is it? Both?
