          Worst phone I've used for a long while, the specs look great but the unresponsive resistive touch screen, the awful windows operating system make it a chore to use.

          I had a chance to play with the Desire and an iphone recently and this phone isnt even in the same ball park as those phones in terms of useability. There is some efforts being made in porting Android to it over at xda developers which may make it a worthwhile second hand purchase one day, but it is still in its infancy and will take a long time to be fully functional.

          Resale value of this phone - thanks in large to the Orange shops in the uk selling them off at £150 at christmas is less than £100 - I paid nearly £300 for this a year ago so that is really poor!

          Avoid like the plague I say. There are miles better phones out there, especially the Android phones.

          Toshiba's loyalty to Windows Mobile is a mystery!

                      I have just returned my iPhone 4, got a refund and replaced it with the TG01.

                      The original ROM (6.1) was awfull.
                      Then i updated to the official Toshiba/Orange 6.5 and it was a little better.
                      And finally i loaded a XDA Cooked Win Mo 6.5.5 ROM and now it's really great !

                      6.5.5 is really finger-friendly, and this ROM is more stable, faster, more reactive; has a better sound.

                              I have the Windows Mobile 6.5 Version of TG01 for 4 Months and I think it is a GREAT PHONE. The display is huge and very responsive. It is one the fastest Phone whit WM 6.5 on the market today. It works well with Navigation software and surfing on the Internet is a preasure.
                              I dont like the short battery life - only 1 day and the fakt that it sometimes hangs up when I thy to use Opera or Googlemaps. I think that all modern Smartphones have such issues but only a few have such advantages (1GHz CPU; 4,1" Display, nice desing) so I think TG01 is a really nice phone. And dont forget - It is the first Handy EVER to have 1GHz CPU - so it already has a place in the history books.

                                I want to destroy it, so I can send it back.

                                  I was given this phone by orange,as a replacement and I have not had it for more than a day yet!! It is the worst phone I have ever had. It constantly connects up to the internet. The back is difficult to put on. It's too big. It does not have a stylus attached to it. AWFUL phone DO NOT BUY!!!!

                                  I would rather have an old fashioned brick phone!!

                                      Major Bloodnock, 17 May 2010I am on my second body of the Toshiba TG01. Its the worst p... moreToday my fifth phone turned up.
                                      It's not even coming out of the box.
                                      I don't know how to cook ROM's and should not have to anyway.
                                      Battery life is appalling. Its like watching the fuel gauge on a V8 car suck the contents out of a fuel tank at speed.

                                      For me all the listed issues on this thread are real. I have suffered them all.

                                      I want my money back.

                                      Come Monday morning I am cancelling my direct debit and Orange will then have to wake up to the fact I mean what I say.

                                      I am a very unhappy Orange customer.

                                      Anyone got Vodafone's number?

                                        I got this phone a few months ago from orange uk(a very good price)First impression?Very BAD,slow ,not very responsive,average camera,very unreliable motion sensor.crashed a lot.But I unlocked it and changed the rom(cooked one)and it made a huge difference!I'm using it on 3 uk and when using Opera on good signal area it is amazingly fast!!!The motion sensor is responsive now and after installing a little piece of free software I can use Igo8 (which in my opinion is better than tom tom) .Spb shell looks and performs very well and the quality of calls has improved a lot.It looks like the tg01 is a reliable piece of hardware but the ORANGE ROM makes it useless,so if you buy one,better change the rom !
