First Windows Phone 7 Series phone caught on video
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.
Annoyingly, this video, shot by Engadget, doesn’t exactly show much of the WinPho OS in action. Actually, it’s probably the worst video you’re ever likely to see of a new phone in action, and if it wasn’t shot by the guys from Engadget, I’d even suspect it was a fake!
Still, it is the real deal, and hopefully we’ll get our hands on some more footage soon.
If the final LG WinPho phone retains the same form factor as the one in the video, it’ll be interesting to see how it compares with the LG InTouch. Near-identical phones, different OS should make for a great side by side comparison.
