CNet Crave reviews Toshiba TS608 and concludes that “there are some features that have us concerned where it’s only dual-band and the battery life seems a little short, with only 150 minutes talk time.”
Mobile Gazette concludes that Toshiba TS608 is an attractive and competent handset. However, Toshiba have struggled to make much impact in Europe as their handsets tend to be very similar to Sharp’s who also have an exclusive arrangement with Vodafone. The TS608 is a little different though, and it might meet with more success.
