New Toshiba L1 Blade phone - a phone so thin, it cuts butter

The trend towards ever thinner mobile phones continues, with Toshiba now claiming the world's thinnest mobile phone crown for their new Toshiba L1 super-thin phone, launched at the 3G World Congress event in Hong Kong. MobileBurn reports that at just 11.9mm thin, this is the thinnest 2.5G clamshell phone in the world today. It is a triband GSM (900/1800/1900hz) handset with Bluetooth, and should be introduced in Europe soon (hurrah!). It is already available in Hong Kong.
Although the battery is non-removable, it has a 1.3 megapixel camera, the external display is OLED, and the main display is a 65K color TFT with 176x220 pixel resolution. The tactile feeling of the keypad is average, but build quality is excellent.
