One of the slimmest at 0.85" (try squeezing in a 4GB hard drive in that and you'll know what I mean), the W41T provides USB connectivity to sync songs between the PC and your phone. Bluetooth, of course, is a must and this one doesn't disappoint. A 3.2 megapixel camera and 2.4" big QVGA LCD screen complete the package.

Easy access controls on the keypad add to the music listening experience either on the integrated player or the FM tuner, enhanced by an equalizer.

I'd love to know when this one will hit the US markets. For now, head to Toshiba for details.
