The new LG Optimus 7 is the new phone that comes from LG’s long list of great phones over the years. However, it is one of the most special phones in that list because it is the first phone from the LG stable to be featuring the latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows Phone 7.
The new Windows Phone 7 operating system is a revolutionary OS from Microsoft and the 3.8 inch touch screen of the new LG Optimus 7 makes it a delight to use it. This is because the touch screen is capacitive in nature and brings the best out of multi-touch functions like pinching to zoom. The phone is well-made and is great to hold in your hand. The phone feels solid and does not feel plasticky. The LG Optimus 7 comes with a 5 megapixel camera, with HD video recording facility that makes the best use of the great social networking connectivity that the new operating system offers.
The camera in this phone has a brilliant LED flash and other intelligent scene and picture modes that is sure to make the whole experience, incredible fun. The phone has 16 GB memory internally to store the various photos and HD films that you might have shot with the camera. There is 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity that also let you download more if you have not done so. The presence of DLNA connectivity is one of the phone’s party pieces. The DLNA is a technology that lets you connect two devices wirelessly. The phone has a 1 GHZ processor that runs the OS and all other applications with ease.
The LG Optimus 7 has been launched in the UK. It is now available for purchase with various contract options. Vodafone are offering the phone on a two year £20 a month deal.

Microsoft has come a long way to prove that the Windows Phone 7 operating system is far more than the stiff and hard to use platform that the Windows Mobile OS was. And since they have first revealed the new system at the MWC, they have been able to convince a vast majority of people in the tech industry.
Now, all they need is the big reveal.
Microsoft has been sitting in a position below Apple and Google in the mobile phone industry and the computer giant seems to have had enough of playing third place. With the Windows Phone 7, they intend to show the industry that they have the right system to change the way people use smart phones. From what we have seen in the tech demos, it is easy to believe that Microsoft might just be right.
The new OS sports features that have never before been used in other handsets. The ability to transfer an app or a game from the smart phone to a computer –directly, has never been done before. In fact, this could change the way people treat daily work. The Xbox Live Games is one thing, but being able to continue progress in an app is one thing, and so far, they have only limited the application of the technology to this.
If they make this applicable to Microsoft’s Office software and other features –they can create an entirely new user experience. Outside of gaming, phones can start to be seen as real complements to desktop computers in terms of work.
According to recent reports, the new OS is expected to come out a full month ahead of schedule. September is the expected launch date for the first handsets that will be using the new platform –such as the LG Panther and the HTC Gold/Mondrian. HTC have had success with their HTC Desire and HTC Wildfire handsets which use the Google Android platform, so it will be interesting to see what they can come up with for Windows Phone 7.
