LG Electronics recently launched its first Windows® Phone 7 device, LG Optimus 7!  Building on Microsoft's new operating system, LG Optimus 7 is bound to usher in a new era for smartphones with lots of cool features that will revolutionize your mobile life.


LG Optimus 7 series offers the glance and go experience of Windows Phone 7 combined with unique features only available on LG devices. For instance, Play To, the DLNA-based multimedia sharing technology, allows users to share multimedia files with other digital devices from the picture, video or music Hubs without having to access other menus. Users may display videos and photos captured on their phones on a TV or enjoy music on their phones through their favorite speakers without wires.

ScanSearch, an augmented reality (AR) application, lets users access real-time information about shopping, dining, weather, entertainment and banking, bringing together one's online and offline worlds for a more enjoyable life.

Voice-to-Text enables convenient, hands-free communication for users, who can transcribe their voice into text for updating Facebook and Twitter status, composing emails, or taking notes.

In addition, LG Optimus 7 helps users obtain direct access to their favorite games and music through the introduction of Microsoft's popular Xbox LIVE® and Zune® services.


LG Optimus 7 is designed to be highly versatile, bringing all entertainment devices together.  Here are some examples:

• 720p HD video resolution offering recording and playback of stunning visual quality, ideal for sharing online through social media and offline on a TV through Play To;
• 16:9 aspect capture and playback for shooting and viewing movies in cinematic style;
• 5MP camera featuring a host of technological enhancements from LG, such as Intelligent Shot, which lets users take the perfect photo without having to adjust camera settings, and Panoramic Mode for stitching together a full 360-degree landscape scene;
• 3.8 inch WVGA LCD display that can capture every detail in a photo with its 800x480 pixels, a screen size large enough for convenient web surfing but svelte enough to fit in any back pocket;
• 16GB internal memory, enough to store hundreds of MP3 files, hours of video and hundreds of applications; and
• 1500mAh removable battery good for hours of internet browsing, e-book reading or game playing, or for simply talking.

I wish I could be a proud owner of this most desirable phone in the new year, don't you?
