Ideal for business and pleasure, the PORTÉGÉ G500 gives you the best of both worlds. This quality and compact slider phone uses fingerprint technology to protect the data stored on the handset. Combining phone, email, web and an MP3 player on a Windows Mobile® 5.0 operating system, the G500 helps you to stay in touch whilst on the go.

The Toshiba PROTEGE G500 is a high quality compact "slider" with full wireless push email support and Internet browsing that is able to take advantage of HSDPA and WiFi connections. These features are complemented by PC phone integration technology, a 2.3" QVGA screen and excellent battery life.

The Portégé G500 provide a unique and enhanced level of security, that fingerprint recognition offers. This increasing need for security was demonstrated in a recent survey by Toshiba which found that 90 per cent of entrepreneurs in Europe store sensitive business information and documents on their connected handheld but as many as 22 per cent admitted losing such a phone. Using fingerprint authentication to access the Portégé G500 enables the devices to be secured in a simple and easy fashion. The finger print sensor can also be used to navigate the phone's menu and lock these devices.
