Pocket Lint - LG officially announced the LG Optimus 7 at the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 launch on Monday and Pocket-lint was there to grab a hands-on play with the new handset - just to see how it matched up against the competition from Samsung, HTC and Dell. In the UK the Optimus 7 is the only smartphone LG is currently offering and the new smartphone will be exclusively available on Vodafone. It is an all touchscreen affair with the QWERTY variant - the LG Quantum - destined for the US and elsewhere.
Pocket-Lint: It's been doing the rounds for a wee while, but this has to be one of the best mobile phone adverts we've seen at Pocket-lint, so it's worth sharing.
We'd also bet the house on the fact that this LG Optimus 7 ad is the only way you're likely to see a handset turn into into a robot, Transformers style, and take on a bunch of Matrix-style action figures, while extolling the benefits of Windows Phone 7. A neat trick, and a lesson in superb stop-animation.
Pocket-Lint: If you’ve struggled to find out what the LG Optimus 7Q or LG Quantum (depending on where you are in the world) actually looks like in the flesh you’ve clearly been looking in the wrong place.
Pocket-Lint: Ever since the grand Windows Phone 7 launch in October, we've been working our way through all of the highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 handsets that were launched, to give you the lowdown on what each one is offering and whether they've got the goods to take on the mighty iOS and Android.
