When the Toshiba TG01 launched way back in July of last year, it seemed like an absolute beast of a handset – and you know what? It still does. Packing a 1Ghz processor into an ultra-slim handset behind a big ol’ 4.1″ touchscreen, the TG01 is still right on the cutting edge if we’re only counting the hardware specs.

Leaked roadmaps made us expect the sequel, the TG02, would launch sometime at the end of last year – but that obviously hasn’t happened. Just when we thought the project might have vamoosed, handset numero dos cruises on through the FCC.

Alas, this doesn’t do much to clarify a launch date, nor does it necessarily mean it’s launching in the US. But at least we know the TG02 isn’t dead in the water, right?

Speaking of water, the purported specs pinpoint this thing as being waterproof. And speaking of specs..

Known TG02 specs, as of the last leaks:

• 4.1″ WVGA touchscreen
• 1GHz Snapdragon processor
• Windows Mobile 6.5
• 3.2 megapixel camera
• HSDPA
• Integrated GPS
• IPX4 water resistant
• 9.9mm thickness
