The device features a 3.7 inch TFT screen and all the other usual Windows Phone 7 chassis specs, and will apparently cost between $300-400 in Poland, where its set to be marketed.

Way to lead the market, LG

Correction: A google translation error may have converted the 1 Ghz QSD8650 to a 1.3 Ghz QSD8650A, but its still a great-looking device. We shall have to wait for the official specs to be released for more.

LG C900 to be the Pacific, LG E900 to be much more aggressive Optimus 7

August 25, 2010 | By Surur


LG C900 to be called LG Pacific	LG E900 to be called LG Optimus 7

Its nice to see code names transition into real names, and if the leaks can be believed, this is happening with LG’s two latest leaked devices.

According the the BGR the LG C900, coming to AT&T will be branded the LG Pacific. Much higher on the manly stakes however is the keyboard-less LG E900, which according to MobileCowboys (via allaboutphones.nl) will be called the LG Optimus 7.

MobileCowboys in fact had a hands-on with the device in July, and noted the device was smooth and fast,as we expect, due to Microsoft’s minimum specs, all Windows Phone 7 devices to be.

Bluetooth SIG reveals Windows Phone 7 LG C900 launch date

August 24, 2010 | By Surur

lgc900bluetoothSIG

The Bluetooth SIG has never been as productive of information as recently, first revealing tasty specs on the Samsung Cetus, and today actually announcing the launch date of the LG C900 windows phone 7 device.

According to the SIG, the smartphone, which will be available in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America, will be hitting the market around the 28 September 2010.

The device is set to be available in 3 variants, the LG C900N, LG C900K and LG C900B. Unfortunately the entry does not reveal the meaning of the modifiers.

While the entry specifies a date, it does seem a bit too soon, and may represent a shipping date rather than the actual availability on shelves. Either way, it has been a long wait but it is clear Windows phone 7 will very soon be upon us.

August 20, 2010 | By Surur

at&tlineupwp7

According to the BGR the Windows Phone 7 launch in USA will consist of 3 devices, one each from HTC, LG and Samsung.

We have understand from previous reports the launch will centre around AT&T, being the “Premier Carrier”, and with the handsets revealed at launch today we currently have a reasonable picture of what the November launch will look like.

The first handset is the HTC Schubert, HTC’s Windows phone 7 smartphone with an aluminium unibody, iPhone 3GS-type looks and a camera which is rumoured to have a Xenon flash.

The next handset is the LG C900, which features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

The last handset is the Samsung Cetus SGH i917, which features a 5 megapixel camera and also VGA front-facing camera.

Of course, due to the magic of Windows Phone 7 minimum specs, we know all these handsets have minimum 1 Ghz processors and 5 megapixel cameras with flash, 3.5mm headphone jacks, hard camera buttons and good GPU’s. That leaves the choice primarily down to style and form factor.

Which of these devices do our readers prefer? Vote in our poll below.

LG C900 for AT&T revealed

August 20, 2010 | By Surur

Engadget is on a roll today with AT&T Windows Phone 7 leaks. This time they have the LG C900, the second of 3 Windows Phone 7 handsets set to rock up on AT&T, the other two being the HTC Schubert and Samsung Cetus, and the only one featuring a slide-out keyboard.

I am noticing a theme with the design of these handsets, being black, soft-touch and rounded, much like Microsoft’s KIN handsets, and it seems quite likely Microsoft had a hand in the design of these devices.

Another Windows Phone 7 device has shown up on the Premier Windows Phone 7 network in USA. The LG C900, revealed earlier in XML on LG’s site, has now shown up on DSLReports mobile speed testing site running on AT&T.

Another device, the HTC T8788, also showed up on DSLReports, but we know even less about this device, with it showing up in very few places on the internet.

With another Windows Phone 7 showing up on AT&T, are users on other networks getting just a little bit jealous? Let us know below.

LG’s first Windows Phone 7 device coming September, “a couple by the end of the year”

July 30, 2010 | By Surur

The LG Panther LG’s Panther was one of the first Windows Phone 7 devices shown off, so it is no surprise it will also be one of the first to hit the market.

According to company representatives, the phone is “ready to go”.

LG has told PCWorld they expect to release the handset as early as the end of September, meaning it could be a scant 60 days before the first Windows Phone 7 handset hits the market.

The LG Panther will not be LG’s only Windows Phone 7 handset this year however.

"We have a deep relationship with Microsoft so expect to have a couple by the end of this year," said Ken Hong, an LG representative in Seoul.

LG claims to have an iPhone-killer Windows Phone 7 device in the works, and there is evidence for at least 2 more LG devices, the LG C900 and LG E900 running Windows Phone 7.

LG E900 and LG C900 :Two LG Windows Phone 7 devices revealed in user agent strings

July 5, 2010 | By Surur

LG C900 Windows Phone 7 user agent string We know LG is a key partner of Microsoft in its Windows Phone 7 push, so it is reassuring to know the company is working on more than one handset running the new OS.

A search through the company’s browser XML database reveals two handsets using the new IE7 browser of Windows Phone 7.

The one handset is the LG E900 and the other the LG C900. Both handsets are GSM and HSDPA, and appear to be devoid of keyboards.

HTC has been a bit more circumspect with their user agent strings, but according to mobitech.mobi have been using a Windows Phone 7 handset on the internet since the 19th May 2010 at least.

Tera-wurfl.com also reveals the SGH i707 by Samsung, which conveniently enough also runs Windows Phone 7.

Of course we do not know anything more about these handsets except their existence itself, but of course even this is useful information in this day and ago, and it is reassuring to see a spread of OEM’s readying devices for the big launch, likely in Q3 2010.
