LG confirms coming “small update” will bring WIFI tethering to the LG E900

October 13, 2011 | By Surur

We learned yesterday that the LG Optimus 7 is perfectly capable of supporting WIFI tethering, given the right drivers.

Now it seems owners will not have to hack their devices to enable this, as the LG’s twitter account has promised that the required update is on its way.

The tweet reads:

@ Cyruss1989 for tethering another small update is required.
This will come in time. ^ SA # WP7

Hopefully this will be a general update which brings all Windows Phone 7 devices (excluding the unlucky Dell Venue Pro of course) up to speed with WIFI tethering.

Indian Mobile Retailer Univercell Lists LG Optimus 7(Updated)

December 19, 2010 | By Pradeep

Major south Indian retailer Univercell have listed LG Optimus 7 E900 for 25000 INR( Approx. 560 USD). As previously mentioned by us, LG will be one of the key launch partners for Microsoft in India. Still there is no word on time of availability,but I guess it will be sooner than expected. According to some insiders at Microsoft India,I got to know that January-2011 will be the time frame of the launch. Does this indicate that Windows Phone 7 will be launched in other Asian countries soon?

Update: Flipkart.com ,an Indian online retailer is taking orders for HTC HD7 with the price of 29999 INR (approx. 667 USD) and it states that it will deliver the device within 5-7 days, but according to some sources I found that the device will be shipped only after the official launch of Windows Phone 7 in India.

LG Optimus 7 gets more specs, features

September 28, 2010 | By Surur

LG Optimus 7 specs released.

The Korea Economic Daily reports, via Engadget, that the LG Optimus 7 will come with a bit more than stock Windows Phone 7.

They report the handset will feature speech to text, allowing one to write emails and text messages just by speaking, and will also feature an automatic panorama mode which allows one to take panoramas simply by sweeping the camera across an arc.

On the specs side, the screen is now said to be 3.8 inches, the battery 1500 mAh, storage is confirmed at 16 GB and of course the phone is revealed to be only 11.5 mm thick (which makes it slightly thicker than the HTC HD7).

Is the LG Optimus 7 zooming up the charts of desirability for anyone? Let us know below.

Thanks dropqube for the tip.

LG E900 Windows Phone 7 device in action

September 24, 2010 | By rush24

The last time we saw the LG E900, it consisted of a blurry video of the device. Well, Mobilnania got their hands on with the device and produced a 20 minute video. It is in Czech and demos most of the stuff we already know about the OS. It is not a bad looking device as I had previously thought but, I’m still holding out for a phone with actual buttons (front three) Correction:Looking at the pictures closely, it seems that at least the home button is in deed a physical button, keyboard and a bigger screen. The site has more pictures which can be found here.

LG-E900-home

A Danish Site TV2 has recently had hands on with LG E900 which boasts 3.7 inch screen with standard 1GHz processor.They have posted some photos of it,check for it below.Here is some of their views on WP7.

The graphics are nice, the animations and transitions are liquid and cheeky, and it seems that there is “contemplating things.” It gave the kinds of butterflies in the stomach, as we saw for the first time since we did play with the iPhone or Windows 7. Wow, it’s delicious it here!

LG E900 confirmed to have 16 GB storage

September 10, 2010 | By Surur

With the Samsung GT-i8700 shown only to have 8 GB, it is quite reassuring that the LG E900 appears to be much better endowed.

MobilityDigest notices on the recently leaked video that the handset will in fact sport 16 GB of storage, meaning it should be adequate for those incredibly cramped by 8 GB.

The handset has recently been confirmed to be coming to Europe, but not USA at present.

Our our readers reassured that at least not all Windows phone 7 devices will only have the minimum specs? Let us know below.

LG E900 passes through Global GSM Certification, heading to Europe

September 10, 2010 | By Surur

The eagle-eyed guys over at the::unwired have spotted the LG E900 passing through the Global Certification Forum, which certify all GSM devices for release.

The site confirms unfortunately that the device will only support European 3G frequencies (900 and 2100 MHz), meaning unless LG makes a US specific version the smartphone should only be available in Europe and Asia.

the::unwired also states that the gap between certification and release is usually very short, meaning the device is likely to hit the market pretty soon.

A Quick Preview of LG E900 with WP7 Glory

September 8, 2010 | By Pradeep

Above we have another video of the LG E900 carrier test phone being shot on what sounds like a train. The video from Bulgaria by LittleAllRoad goes through much of the user interface, and passes, unfortunately without opening, the now familiar media sharing and ScanSearch apps which differentiate it from base Windows Phone 7 builds.

Of note is that the System Information, which disappointingly does not state the RAM and Processor speed, does show VDF-UK, which suggests the device is coming to Vodafone UK.

Nothing much more to say here, except I cant wait to get my hands on this phone myself.

Microsoft leaks first clear picture of LG E900 Optimus 7, may come to Vodafone

August 25, 2010 | By Surur

The LG E900 Optimus 7 may come to vodafone.

You know the Windows phone 7 launch is near when even Microsoft starts leaking pictures via twitter. Microsoft Netherlands recently tweeted this picture of the LG E900, supposedly called to be called the LG Optimus 7 ( a name most of our readers approve of I see).

The picture also reveals some additional tiles, including a Panorma shot, media sharing and most tellingly a Vodafone 360 tile, although Microsoft did indicate in a follow-up tweet that the presence of the tile does not necessarily mean the phone will come to Vodafone, as it may just be a “test environment”.

The picture also confirms the device does not have the same odd button placement of the LG C900, with all the keys more or less on the same level.

Having had a closer and clearer look at the handset, the device does appear pretty impressive, especially if its as thin as shown in the video.

Do our readers agree? Let us know below.

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.

Which name do our readers prefer? Vote in the poll below and let us know.

LG E900 Windows Phone 7 smartphone caught on camera

August 23, 2010 | By Surur

The LG E900 Windows Phone 7 smartphone The oddest things show up on youtube, such as this video of the LG E900, the keyboard-less version of the LG C900, likely destined for Europe.

The handset looks relatively sleek, but still could do with a bit more dazzle (possibly a less blurry video would help). Windows phone 7 as usual looks as fluid as attractive as ever, and the OS appear to feature a number of Live tiles not previously seen.

The device has a top-mounted headphone jack, side-mounted USB port, and the same odd button placement as the LG C900.

The application list features an intriguing entry called Media Sharing, suggesting possibly some form of DLNA type media streaming feature.

More pictures after the break.
