With CTIA Wireless approaching fast, there’s a sudden flurry of Windows Phone 7 Series news hitting the blogosphere. Some of it – such as the news that WinPho7 won’t support copy & paste or multitasking – isn’t particularly welcome, but others – like this tasty new LG WinPho 7 mobile – most certainly is.

There’s not a lot of info on it – indeed, other than it might come with a slide out QWERTY keyboard, there’s absolutely no info at all on it – but it does look superb.

CTIA Wireless is the US’s annual telecoms trade show, so we should see a lot more new from US-related mobile tech companies than we saw at MWC 2010 earlier in the year.

Just two short weeks after Microsoft announced its new Windows Phone 7 Series mobile OS comes news of the first Windows Phone 7 Series, er, phone! Made by LG, the new WinPho phone is a slider with a 5 megapixel camera that looks almost identical to the LG InTouch GW620.

OK, so there are a few differences – the InTouch has an extra row of keys (a row of dedicated number keys at the top), for example, and uses Android – but externally, at least, the two are remarkably similar.

Check out the video of LG’s new WinPho phone after the jump.

Those lovely people at e2Save have been doing some stellar deal making again, and have somehow managed to persuade T-Mobile to part with an LG Cookie for free, with a monthly contract at an unbelievable 99p a month. And without any exaggeration, that’s literally all you’ll pay – just 99p a month, with 300 mins and unlimited text thrown in!

The Cookie normally sells for £25 per month, so this is a monstrous bargain!

You can buy it in black or pink for this price by clicking here, so whether you want it as a main phone, a second phone, or a gift for your boyfriend, girlfriend, brother, sister – whoever! – it’s the perfect phone at the perfect price!

You’d better be quick, though, as it’s an online-only deal that won’t last for ever.

I reviewed the LG Cookie personally last year, and gave it 9/10. Now it’s only 99p, it simply has to score 10/10. A true bargain if ever there was one!

Never one to miss a bandwagon, LG have also released a mini phone in the form of the unsurprisingly-named LG Mini. Joining the likes of HTC and Sony Ericsson, both of whom also released a new mini phone this week, the LG Mini is the smallest 3.2″ full touchscreen phone available.

As you’d expect fromn LG, it’s not exactly short of features either.

LG had so much success with their original LG Cookie that they’ve decided to release a successor and a whole new line of Cookie phones.

The Cookie’s successor is the LG Cookie Plus (or LG GS500 to give it its slightly less interesting model name), and like the original Cookie, will also be a cheap touchscreen phone – but this time, with many more features and a heavy focus on social media integration.

LG are slowly but surely jumping on the Android bandwagon. Not only have they got a couple of Android handsets on the market now, but they’ve also got a few high-powered phones lined up for release later in the year as well.

Take this for example. It’s rumoured to be the LG Arena Max LU9400, which as well as featuring a 3.5″ touchscreen, GPS, WiFi and 5 megapixel camera, will also come with the legendary Snapdragon 1GHz processor.

Mmmm, tasty!

LG have been showing off the LG GT540 at CES 2010, a low-cost Android 2.0 phone that does pretty much what you expect an Android phone to do.

Rather than go to town on the user interface like some other manufacturers have done, LG have simply taken an LG phone and wrapped it around a standard Android interface. Not exactyl innovative, but it should keep the cost nice and low when it’s released in a few month’s time.

You can see a video of the LG GT540 after the jump.

Ignroing the superphones that have been announced at CES 2010, LG has decided to go big – really big! Step forward the LG GW990, a new phone (at least I think you can call it that!) with a huge 4.8″ widescreen display.

So big is the screen, in fact, that you can fit three different apps side by side. Just check out the pic – contacts, calendar and map, all side by side.

LG have released the LG Pop GD510, a touchscreen smartphone that’s been on something of a diet. Following on from the success of the LG Cookie, itself a lightweight touchscreen phone that’s super-cheap but does just enough of what it needs to (and which has sold an incredible 7 million units), the LG Pop GD510 avoids the feature bloat of most other touchscreen smartphones, and focuses solely on the features customers need.

What features are they? Read on after the jump to find out.

The LG BL40 Chocolate phone in this review could one day save your life (assuming being bored to death can genuinely happen!)

Remember the last time you were in a hotel room with absolutely nothing to do? Crap TV in a foreign language, or films so expensive they cost more than the price of the room. Or what about the time you were on a train that slowed to a crawl…for seemingly hours on end?

We’ve all been in situations where we’ve cried out for something interesting to do.

Sometimes you need something to keep you entertained – a comedy, a film, even all 24 episodes of 24, anything to ease your stressed out, overloaded, or just plain bored brain!

LG must have thought that too, as they’ve just released the LG BL40 Cinematic phone – and blimey does it blow away the boredom blues!
