Huge touchscreen display, check.  A-GPS, check.  Virus, check.  Wait, a virus? Yep, that’s what some of O2’s customers learned the hard way, a virus preinstalled on Toshiba’s G01 Windows Mobile smartphone, which became available in Germany at the beginning of this month.  The virus is said to be preinstalled on the TG01’s memory and although there is no information on how this affects the handset’s functionality, O2 has revealed that it affects only a few devices and not all that have been sold until now.  Needless to say, no more TG01s will be sold in Germany until the issue is resolved and current owners can contact customer service to get a clean chit on their device.  We’ll tell you more when O2 has a solution for this problem, so stay tuned.
