Engadget has been busy today and have stumbled upon yet another Windows Phone 7 device in the wild. While the Samsung Cetus was an interesting find, the LG C900 is equally interesting. Instead of relying on an on-screen keyboard, the LG will sport a side sliding QWERTY keyboard. But that's not the interesting part. What makes the LG really stand out is the AT&T logo that appears...
LG's Optimus 7 (or E900) is being reported to have voice to text capabilities. This feature would allow users to convert voice into text for email, status updates and sms messaging. No indications on whether or not this is a Microsoft feature, an LG feature or something lost in translation. Regardless it sounds like an interesting feature. The Korean Economic Daily spent some hands-...
The LG E900 Windows Phone 7 spent a little hands on time with the Czech website mobilmania.cz and they captured it all on video. The twenty minute video is in Czech but shows off the LG Windows Phone 7 phone nicely. The 3.7" screen appears to be responsive to the touch but the accelerometer seemed to stick at times, slowing the screen rotation down. The screen keyboard appears well...
As the launch of Windows Phone 7 gets closer, more photos are surfacing of the new phones in action. Danish website TV2 has captured a few shots of the LG E900. The black slab device looks really nice. The 3.7" screen isn't too big or small in the hands. While there weren't any new revelations from the Danish review, the LG did receive good marks. The reviewer commented, "It gave...
One of the devices on show at Microsoft's Open House was the LG GM750, which is going to get some special attention here because of what LG has done to Windows Mobile 6.5: it's unrecognizable. To refresh, the LG GM750 is due on Vodafone in a short time and has the following specs: BT 2.1WiFi3-inch 240x400 display1000 mAh battery5 MP cameraGSM (850, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100)Optical joystick...
Last we heard from NVIDIA, they were talking a little smack about Windows 7 on tablets and not getting much love from phone OEMs (despite a push starting two years ago to get in on Windows Mobile).And while the Zune HD features the original Tegra, not much has been revealed about the Tegra 2's plans outside of 'it's coming'.Now it looks like LG is the first major smartphone OEM to...
The rumors are true, folks. There's actually a Windows Phone here at the IFA conference in Berlin, Germany. It's the LG Optimus 7, aka the GW910 aka the Panther. It's not a full production unit just yet, and it was on hand really to show off DLNA media sharing -- which lets you wirelessly pipe video, photos and the like from your phone to your TV. Photos and video after the break.
Windows Phone 7 is, likely, just over a month away from hitting the store shelves in Europe and just over two months away from seeing the light of day in the States . We've seen manufacturer devices, app development, and (obviously) development of the OS itself over the past several months. The one thing we haven't seen much from is the wireless providers. Who's getting what and how...
As if yesterday's LG E900 pics, video and debunked 1.3GHz CPU story wasn't enough, this morning we have the same treatment for the upcoming (and U.S. bound) LG E900.The device sports a slightly smaller 3.2" screen, features a 1GHz Snapdragon and has all the other hardware requirements we expect from our Windows Phone 7 devices.The only other cool info that comes from the translated...
One of the hopeful rumors today is focusing around the LG E900 (seen last week), that sleek keyboardless Windows Phone 7 device probably headed for European markets. The word is that it is running a 1.3GHz QSD8650A Snapdragon CPU, which of course would be a first and not too unexpected as Qualcomm is gearing up to launch a few new CPUs this Fall/Winter. It also features the obvious 3.7...
Having a less-than-stellar video debut, the LG E900/Optimus 7 gets photographed in somewhat better light.Not too much else to say about this device, although it does look pretty snazzy for a black-slab destined for Europe.[via MobileTechWorld]
Just a few days after images of the C900 from LG showed up, a video has appeared with what is supposedly the E900. The difference here is the E900 has no slider keyboard and in turn, seems quite thin. Both the E900 and C900 dovetail nicely with what LG has said their plans were: sliding keyboard for the U.S. market (AT&T), black-slab for Europe. Other than a 3.7 inch screen, not...
LG had some interesting things to say, at least according to 'What Hi-Fi?'First, we get more confirmation of a Europe-first launch, where LG says they'll have their 3.8" device based on the Optimus-line (previously seen to be running Android, looky here) ready to go, ahead of Samsung and HTC. This device will presumably be lacking a hard-keyboard.The next bit is that in the U.S., we'll...
Need a Windows Phone cheap? If so, AT&T is offering their Windows Phone line-up for a penny. We have no clue how long this fire sale will last but you can pick up a Samsung Jack, HP Glisten, LG Expo or Tilt2 for one penny. Could AT&T be making room for a rumored Windows Phone 7 launch?The penny sale doesn't come without a hitch. You'll have to sign up for a minimum $15 data...
While the AT&T LG eXpo made an initial splash, mostly before it even came out, it sort of fizzled in the U.S. market, partially related to limited availability, partially limited to being overwhelmed by HTC's dominance. Still, it's nice to know that LG hasn't forgotten about its small but dedicated user base, as they just released a new ROM update for the eXpo--v10G. While it does...
LG has announced an all-new LG Application Store with more than 3,000 applications consisting of a mixture between feature phone apps and Windows Phone apps. The good news is that the LG App Store is available in 23 countries and will expand to 33 countries by the end of the year. The bad news is that the U.S. market isn't among them. In the Press Release, Dr. Skott Ahn, President...
LG is re-affirming its commitment to the Windows Phone 7 movement. Ahn Seung-kwon, LG's Mobile Business Chief, stated:"We will boost our premium lineup, LG Electronics will concentrate on developing devices that take full advantage of the Android and Windows Mobile 7 systems for the next year or two."He explained that 10 design-focused and specification-rich smartphones will be...
"Everything must go! Folks we are literally giving away these phones, we cannot hold on to them any longer! We need to make room for the iPhone 4 and Andro...err, Windows phone 7 devices"That's what we think it sounds like over at AT&T right now as evidently they sent out an email to their "premier" fancy-pants customers noting that you can get some pretty solid Windows Mobile 6.5...
The LG Fathom has surfaced from the depths at at time when some believe the Windows Mobile Windows Phones (we really have to work on these names) have all but dried up. The Fathom offers a Snapdragon processor along with Windows Mobile 6.5.3. It's being offered through Verizon Wireless for $379 without a contract or as low as $149 with a two year commitment. The first impression from...
While we knew some of the details about the LG Panther (GW910), we didn't have all the little nitty-gritty bits.Granted, this is not the sexiest phone we've ever seen, but functional? Heck yeah, it seems like it'll do quite well with our new OS. The other thing is this is not final and LG might be apt to change or modify things before launch. Of note is the 720p video recording,...
