Toshiba has been concentrating on adding phones as much as they have been looking to capture the LCD / Plasma TV market share. This time they are looking at slimmer phones which are targeted towards youngsters and the next generation.

The Toshiba TS605 is a slim candy bar phone which has just been announced in Korea and is specially for the European market as they say. The TS605 will come with a 1.9 inch screen. The display is a neat 262k color TFT LCD screen.

Overall the Toshiba phone is pretty thin measuring only 10.3 mm, but still not the thinnest we have seen. We have previously seen much thinner Samsung phones and also a couple of phones from Motorola in the sub 10mm benchmark.

The Toshiba TS605 will carry a 1.3 megapixel camera and will come with a memory card slot in addition to the user memory already provided free with the phone. The place where marketing of the phone is overdone, is the color aspect. Toshiba are planning to get these in the stores in pink, green and a few other flashy colors. Are they trying to say silver, gray or black isn’t trendy? If yes, they have got it totally wrong!
