  • hi. my phonedont open market place and i cant download enything. i restart him but it still dont work. what can i do?

  • I've been using this phone for the past +5 years. Never treated it really carefully, dropped it sometimes, but it was really solid and nothing ever happened. Great metal built. Always working very smoothly, no lags - I was able to play some basic games like chess or 2d and simple 3d games. While still on warranty I had some internals changed and fixed. After almost 6 years of extensive use I started having problems with phone getting extra warm and getting stuck with black screen and LG logo on it. It kept happening once-twice a week, sometimes once a month. Changed the battery but the issue remained. Now, decided to buy Lumia 650 as I found a new one for about 130 euro (looking at the specs I think this is absolutely maximum it should cost). We'll see what is new 650 worth comparing to this cool, old mate.

  • I got this phone for £10 and Windows Phone 7.8 is so good on this phone 3D games run without lag and the marketplace is very good.

  • I really like this mobile phone. Windows Phone 7.8 is so good on this phone 3D games run without lag and the marketplace is very good. I recommend this phone people say it's absolutely bad but there wrong it's great.

  • thank you for information!V.useful to find things about differences in these Windows phones from an expert user.But do you think is possible anymore to update it to 7.8 in 2014 if I find to buy a new one (the phone was made already in 2010)?And how was the memory with this phone since has not sdcard?

  • I had the same problem with my phone and it was boxed for more than a year, then I decided to open and check it, I use some electronic cleaner on its circuits and then put a bit of heat with a hairdryer, after five minuts resting, I put all pieces togheter and try to start again... Voilá, it's working perfectly, this save me some bucks I was pretending to spend in a new smarthphone.

  • I have this phone today 09.14.2014. I have never had problems with it. It is fast,good looking phone,made from good materials,sensitive touch,nice display-colors,quality calss Contra: battery life to short,missing bluetooth transfer,cannot find alot of applications,like android have,doesn't have microsd slot and meniu style is a minus. I like more android style. I think it is a good phone if you bought it like new,not refurbished. Never had problem upgrading from 7,5 to 7,8 mangoo.cheers

  • My brother had this phone for 2 years. It is one of the best phones ever made. The user experience was phenomenal, it never had any lag, it was super smooth. It never froze or restarted it self for no reason. During its work, it was not restarted in 12 months, it didn't need reboot to function smoothly and properly, unlike all the other smartphones in the world. 3G data and WiFi and GPS was always on, and it never needed reboot for 12 months, just plug it to charger every night and continue to use it the next day without ever noticing the phone to slow down. It had metal cover and excellent build quality. We just simply loved this phone. When we sold it (6 months ago), it didn't had one scratch on it, it looked like new. It started its life as WP 7.0 then we updated it to 7.5 and then to WP 7.8. WP 7.8 was an excellent operating system and LG did an excellent job with this phone to make it work flawlessly. Windows 8.1 is significantly slower. We have two WP8 phones (Samsung Ativ S and Nokia 630). The Nokia 630, although it has 6 times the processing power, it is still slower than the Optimus 7.

  • mine too but after sometime it worked am planing to sell it because am afraid it will get stuck again

  • I think I'm going to smash this junk now, first I replaced the touch pad twice, then I had to clean the camera couple of times, and now - firmware is corrupted and there is no way to access the phone by any FLASH software program, and the phone itself is so useless, you can't do almost anything with it, you can't even FLASH it. If someone gives me a new one for free, I would not accept it.

  • I used the phone for a long time smoothly, but now I can�t use it. It just close everything and display information in Germany language about memory corruption. Again after some time when I On the phone it becomes normal and after some hours it will stop working give me Germany information. So, what can I do? Do you think that it will be maintained so that I can use it��

  • This is the worst phone I ever had. Touch stopped working and giving troubles since months. Repaired it for $60, again touch stopped working. Today I smashed it into pieces out of anger. Damn it!

  • This phone sucks any windows phone sucks

  • I have this phone over 2 years now and i am very pleased. The camera is quite good for 5mp and video quality is good too. I have the latest software vesrion available and i am very pleased. It operates smoothly and i am very happy i bought this phone instead of an android one.

  • This phone is such a bore. i want to download my real football 2012 as it is a game i really like and realy like playing it but i can not see this in this phone if some one has an idea of how to go about with it let the person help me please

  • In using this phone for most of the day, it's not too bad. Screen is decent and overall it is easy to use. However, my main issue is that the Windows Marketplace that was loaded on this phone no longer works. Apparently, it no longer works for any Windows 7 phones. It needs to be updated and I can't seem to find out how to do it. If you know how to do it, please let me know. Also, I was talking with my wife on the phone for approx. 12 minutes and already the handset was very warm to the ear and touch. I couldn't believe it would heat up that much for only 12 minutes of talk time. Not even my old iphone 3GS did that. Anyhow, it's an okay phone but there are better ones out there. I'll be giving this back to my friend this weekend.

  • I finally figured it out. To hard reset your phone, you need to hold down Power, both volume buttons, camera AND home button. Hold for approx 5 secs and it will reset your phone.

  • I can't seem to remember password and I want to reset it. I tried holding power, both volume buttons and camera button to hard reset but it didn't work. Also tried holding power and volume up button while powering up phone and it also didn't work. Please help!

  • you try upgrading your OS version to the current version using zune software and if the problem persists contact a technician

  • Hi Guys, I have just updated my Optimus 7 to Mango. But my touchscreen stopped functioning. Anyone has this issue too? It was find till i have done the upgrading through zune. Restore have been done initially and the touchscreen works. But reinstall mango and the touchscreen malfunction. After trying to restore, the touchscreen died. Anyone has this issues too?

  • It was a good phone, but a simple short accidental drop can smash the screen easily.

  • I´ve had this phone for 2 years now. Overall experience is not bad, it's a good machine but with some apointments to LG. First, we had the "hotspot" issue, the firmware that LG had but didn't release to all clients. Still don't have it, but some owners got it from their carriers, like Vodafone Italy and Germany. I'm portuguese btw. After many emails between me and LG support they told me that is up to the carriers to decide to give the firmware update, i explained that my phone is unbranded, no carrier. No answer and no solution from LG or Microsoft, terrible. I should also tell you that LG support sucks, it seems they don't know what they are talking about, they disagree with you, you prove them wrong, they say no such update, you prove them wrong, and on and on for a few emails. Second, last update, WP 7.8, same thing, no support, 'till this day i don't have an answer from LG, gladly i got it from Zune. Conclusion, somewhat happy with WP platform, but my experience with LG support was so negative that i'll never buy anything from them again.

  • I had this phone for 6 months and from the start I had problems. The phone overheats whilst charging, regularly causing it to restart. It also overheats when you use it for an extended period of time (15 minutes or more - which is a relatively common amount of time to use on a smartphone!). For some reason, WhatsApp in particular really overheats the phone. When it gets to a certain temperature, it turns off and restarts, but often gets stuck on the LG logo at the start. Finally after doing this for 6 months it won't turn on at all. Total waste of money. Do not buy!

  • they already are on your computer :) go www.hotmail.com log into your email account click Contacts, and you will see them all. You can also export to CSV from there

  • I want to transfer my contacts from phone to my computer. Please advise steps. Thank you.

  • Does this fon support voice recording?

  • Does this fon support voice recording?

  • my phone has frozen and it has refusd to switch on.how do i get to function again?

  • Update my E900 to WP 7.8 (EU Open) by tricking update server... All good for now.

  • I'm a phone dealer and I have an opportunity to try out a lot of different phones. Here is my short review of 1 year used LG E900 Optimus 7: BUILD QUALITY(the chassis): Top notch, no screeching, wobbling or anything like that. The only place that paint could fall off of is the camera part. DISPLAY: while it's not as good as on some flagship phones, its still good enough considering it is a TFT. Sunlight legibility is average, not good, but not bad either. Viewing angles are average. TELEPHONY: telephony and signal reception is trouble-free, the earpiece sound is clean enough is pretty loud. Be careful not to set the earpiece volume on maximum all the time because the earpiece sound could get a bit screechy with time. Hold it at 8/10 or 9/10, maximum only if you have to. CAMERA: while the photo quality is slightly above average for a 5 MPix league, video quality is somewhat troubling. The amount of details in videos are still good but the framerate can only be maintained at declared 24 fps where the daylight is alomost perfect. In the darker areas framerate drops to about 17 fps, but overall, average framerate hovers about 20-21 fps. GPS: it's fast to acquire a lock and keep a strong reception. The rest of the phone is pretty much the same as you get with all WP7 phones, so there is no need to go into it further.

  • Finally WP 7.8 arrived! It is upgradable after all!

  • its an awesome phone

  • Yesterday I have installed 7.8 update via Zune, force update. So, yes, Optimus 7 is updateable, despite some saying LG will not get WP 7.8

  • Actually this phone is upgradeable to SO WP7.8! Doing it as I write here, standard Zune update.

  • Hi, my phone is also stuck in LG logo, though Battery was low but even after charging, the same thing is happening. Could you please tell me what you did with yours if you finally figured out how to solve the problem

  • 2 days back i got my mobile its my first one.ikept a lot of hopes on it . but with happieness when i started it only lg logo appeared and switched off ithought intitially there is no charge okay its us mobile hence it doesnt work in india i updated as usual the result was same i got short tempered if any one wants to buy it dont go for it as i brought im crying now buy nokia even it is late if any body hada solution for automatic resstarting give me urs valuable suggestion please...thank u gsm arena for this platform...

  • bad phone mine is now stuck in lg logo not booting his phone makes me hate lg all product

  • THE WORST SMARTPHONE EVER...after 1 year keeps restarting with no reason (it restarted 4 times during a 5 min conversation),the �hold� and �speaker� function activate for no reason during conversation. Even the plastic material of the phone has melted last summer, not in direct light of the sun,but in a bag... GOOD WORK LG PROGRAMMERS AND DESIGNERS,TRY A HONEST JOB IN THE FUTURE!!!

  • App Market is closed for devices running on lower verison of WP than Mango, you need to update.

  • Nice phone, I use it as my second phone for about a year, it is really good, WP7 OS is fast and nice, camera is not the best, but it is ok. WP7 OS is much nicer than Android 2.x. Sure Android 4.x is more advanced, but at that time when it was bought there were no other options. It will be real pitty if it will not get WP 7.8

  • windows phones have seperate bluetooth which dont match with other phones they pairs only with windows phones only as same as iphone

  • why did my LG E900 bluetooth didnt connect to other phone ? and the sounds is very low? how can i change the setting? thanks.

  • My HTC Titan didn't handle on or two drops on the floor.... Had to replace it and decided not to go for anoter expensive handset. I replaced it with this LG E900 and really, it is really solid and well built. Like someone said, its like a well built Nokia. The only thing I miss is the great screenpanel of the Titan. Will also miss the 7.8 update. But it works as-is.

  • I have this phone for almost an year, and it is the best I've had so far. Much better than the Android phones actually. It has much more personality. Anyway, LG released 2 updates for the time period both Mango and Tango. My only concern is with the 7.8 update. The information about it is based on some polish website where someone asked and he was told by an LG "official" it won't get any update. I have my computer assembled with parts of different manufacturers and it still gets windows updates, I really hate it is up to the phone manufacturer to decide whether or not his device will be updated.

  • smartphone made by LG ( window or android ).LG always poor in software support. even it did support , it always the slowest. so, it don,t make sense at all .

  • Sir don't you post your comments with out having cell, its misguides user by reading comments posted by people the don't having cell. I was using this cell its performance is so poor

  • This phone is awesome. If any flaw, I recommend a bigger battery be bought. But, it is super tough. I punch it (I kid you not), and I cannot shatter the screen. I've had it maybe 1.5 years, and it's easy to use, sober, drunk, whatever. My parents use it too now thanks to my recommendation, and they have never had smartphones before this. For the cheap price, great value.

  • Am unble to update my phone becoz all the time it restarts the devices will keep on going off and on simultaneously

  • Use skydrive

  • Create another account

  • The music you want to share with LGe900, must be in your "Music" folder (Libraries), then you can sync using Zune

  • Great phone, had it for 1 year now. Very cheap for the specs compared to most android phones. Pros : - Very fast OS. - Very resistant (You can drop it, wont break). - Great integration with facebook, windows live, espacially for internet chat. - Long lasting battery. Cons : - Shitty camera. - Less personalization than android. - Less apps than android. (but there is more and more) It is a very good/cheap option for a reliable phone.

Does any one know as my phone is suitable for 3G Network HSDPA 900/1900/2100 Which will not support Telstra Next G, However the HSDPA 850/1900 made in North America will. Is it possible to have a software change or is it a hardware issue

  • follow the instructions of xda developers forum the mfg unlock works fine you can find xap files in thewp7phones you can install them via wxapassistant to connect to wxapassistant dont have the lockscreen of the phone

  • Best phone i have ever owned....no bs just great

  • Follow all the instructions and download all the files and do as it says. TIPS: Forget about the 4,5 and 6 Steps/parts because you can't get into it as your phone is stuck at LG logo. hold down the volume - , camera and power button at the same time and connect the phone to the pc through the data cable. When you run the the application LGDP2_V36_UMTS.exe and select all COM ports in the upper left,press start and wait for 10 to 15 min then it will definitely start flashing your phone,wait till it reaches 100% and it says reset.You will now have 7 Version then connect to Zune via data cable and upgrade your phone to 7.5 Mango....Good Luck.

  • can somebody tell me how to developer unlock my optimus because i need deploy games on phone.i try mfg but still i can not deploy apps to my phone.please help me

  • I used HTC Surround for a month and now i'm using LG E900. The main Disappointment was the battery it couldn't even survive a 12hrs with 3G on. And When i upgraded it to Mango the phone seems little bit of lagging. Then i switched to E900 and it is a rocky besides the sunlight legibility. The physical navigation button are better than the HTC buttons, and a really nice solid built. Call quality is very good too. The nicest thing is the battery with 3G on and when running whole bunch of background apps it could survive 18-20 hrs. With battery saver on mine lasted for 1.5 days.

  • htc surround 7 and lg optimus 7 which is better to buy.....? need guidance

  • This has TANGO Update now...WOW, Windows Phone 7.8 good stuff.

  • The best phone i've used so far. Totally solid experience, and windows 7.5 is the classiest, best looking, intuitive and fluent OS no doubt. I hope LG are going to brew a fine Win8 update.

  • Yes there is gorilla glass!

  • Nice phone. Use it for a year already and had NO problems with phone itself. So i would recommend it. For its price(ive paid 300$, now it can be bought for ~200$) its really good.

  • LG: Ally, Arena, Arena TV, Crystal, LG Mini, Maxx, New Chocolate, Nitro� HD, Optimus 2X (T-Mobile® G2x� with Google�), Optimus 3D (Thrill� 4G), Optimus 7, Optimus Black (LG Marquee�), Optimus Mach, Optimus Q, Optimus Z, Spectrum, Viewty Smart, X300

  • No Gorilla glas. It's not listed on the Gorilla website.

  • LG E900 is one of the best phones I ever used.never thought LG phones had this much build quality.Very smooth, lag free experience unlike android.Camera quality is average.I'm highly recommending this phone to anyone.Few users complaining about freezes, hangs, resets.may be they got stuck with a lemon.Mango Rocks!!!

  • you can not install Android on the WP 7, surely that. you can update the orginal LG E900 to 7.5 version by connecting it to your PC, chosing update your phone from the menu of Zune software. lehuy

  • i use the e900 alrdy two years y at now the cnt on????

  • this phone is sheat

  • Same as many other users, i do not recommend anybody to buy this phone. It freezes, hangs, resets itself constantly. CONSTANTLY. while you are surfing the net, talking , checking mails. Frustrating and ridiculous for a device that costs so much to be so sub standard.

  • I do not recommend this phone nor any other LG phones at all. A couple hundred of us got these phones from a competition and most of them (including 4 of the 8 of us in Jamaica) had their phones bricked or some other hardware problem. (freezes at LG screen) Most of us are software engineers so of course we exhausted all software fixes and nothing. When doing an internet search, people with later models of this phone's hardware have the same problem so it seems LG didn't fix existing hardware faults. During my 1 year use of the phone, I had sound problems (sound going on and off) due to the hardware thinking there is a headphone plugging in and out. Phone. Not. good.

  • I have this same problem where its stuck on the LG logo. I tried to flash it and it worked successfully but still booted and stuck. Explanation here:

  • the best of the best on that price, run fast no bags amazing gps with navigon select, amazing batery life for smartphone, robust design, all the necessary apps exist, bye-bye iphone4... cons: low volume speakerphone, no secondary cam for skype-tango etc the video-calls works with the back cam, you have to be front of a mirror haha

  • using your hands!

  • My phone keeps on turning off and when it opens it says I have to reset it because the mmc is not functioning well. What do I have to do? I only used 3gig from its 14 gig memory.

  • prblm is,my fo only boot lg logo

  • My sister gave my LG E900, its from SG. I love it except that when I copy songs from my laptap to my phone. When I erase the file in my laptap and reconnect my phone it also got erased.

  • dear how i can connect my mobile with my computer?

  • how i can connect my mobil to computer dear? tell me this is my problem

  • I have the exact same problem with the phone rebooting /powering off completely. I get mine from Germany and like you LG refuse to deal with it.

  • There is no hangup problem but I would suggest to buy Android based mobile, Although the WM 7 and 7.5 are good but for Andoid you will have virtually un-limited apps. Good luck!!!! BTW I have LG E900 and loving it. :)

  • Dear, I have got the new one and its versions are: Now: -OS: 7.0.7004.0 -FW: 1.0.7.10 -HW: 1.0.0.0 -Radio SW: 1.0.7.10 -Radio HW: 0.3.5.0 -Bootloader: 1.5.0.0 -Chip SOC: 0.30.2.0 Do anybody know how to install Android on LG E900 Optimus, as it shares the same HW as of HTC Desire / HTC Nexus One. But both the HTC models has the Android. Also I know one of my friend, who has installed both WM 7.0 and Android 2.4 on his HTC HD2. So my question is that "Is it possible to install Android as well as WM7/7.5 on my LG Optimus 7?"

  • Only bad thing is speaker .

  • Should I buy the Optimus 7 or xperia neo ? Which one is the best? Thanks.

  • should i buy this phone, xperia neo v or xperia active? Which one is the best? Thanks in advance.

  • Pl search about Skype if u fine let me thanks

  • how do i set music to a ringtone it dosent give an option thankyou .

  • I just recently updated the OS of my Optimus E900. This was an update done after the Mango release. Now: -OS: 7.10.8107.79 -FW: 1.0.16.10 -HW: 1.0.0.0 -Radio: 1.0.16.10 -Radio HW: 0.3.5.0 -Bootloader: 1.5.1.0 -Chip SOC: 0.30.2.0 I don't know which of those version was updated since I don't keep track of the previous version. Now after the update, I have a new function under Setting called Internet Sharing. My phone now can act as a WiFi router. I tried to check updates for my other 2 Windows Phone Dell Venue Pro and HTC Surround, but no more update available after being updated to Mango. Both my Dell Venue Pro and HTC Surround don't have the Internet Sharing function. It could be that the latter two phone don't really support it or they don't have the hardware to make it happen. I now love my LG Optimus more, because of this new function. Question now is, what other Windows Phone that can do Internet Sharing?

  • Hi, I would like to get one LGE900 Optimus7 as phone and for email purpose but a bit skeptical on whether it will have hang problem. Please comment. Thx

  • hi anyone having any problem with coping their contact to sim card ? im unable to copy my numbers to sim card ... anyone can ?

  • Follow all the instructions and download all the files and do as it says. TIPS: Forget about the 4,5 and 6 part because you can't get into it as your phone is stuck at LG logo. hold down the volume - , camera and power button at the same time and connect the phone to the pc through the data cable.

  • Not recommended - memory issue, telephone started reboot randomly 8 months after purchase. Because I bought it in another country LG refuse repair. Not recommend this brand.

  • Excellent mobile phone, no pointing default, unless the battery lasts one day

  • if you want download songs and add songs in your wp7 phone. first you download zune software from any website and install in ur pc and then connect ur moblle with pc. sync with zune software. and then copy songs in ur mobile

  • Yes!,this phone is multitasking; I can do the following task at the same time: Taking a call/check on the web/downloading a game,all at the same time,and I think it can do more.

  • Great phone though battery life is not satisfactory. Love the outlook email and calendar on the phone.

  • I've never had any problems with windows phone OS, so far the one that suits me better so far. :D

  • plz plz how to make musics in the phone??

  • All WP7 devices can be updated to WP7.5 using Microsoft's Zune software.

  • looks gud but how u erase windows frum it, windows sux

  • I have been thinking about to change my e900 for a new wp7.5 lumia 800 or 900 but the truth is that my e900 is soooooo great that I may just keep it

  • Runs very smooth, WP7 is a great OS, strong built phone, great design. Definitely recommended. The 5mp camera although isnt very good, but its enough if you just want to take photos without great expectations. RECOMMENDED!

  • How to delete the photo at (mobile uploads from windows live). I accidentally clicked upload to skyDrive. Thank you!

  • E900 rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The E900 is miles better.. they are not comparable phones. This would have to be one of the best superphones yet.

  • pls.send me the gprs settings or server for my phone lg e900 windows phone

  • which is better? Nokia 500, HTC explorer, Nokia c5-03, or LG Optimus e900??

  • plz plz tell me where i buy the LG Menu button i.e (symbol of windows)..recently i missed that small menu button

  • HIGHLY recommend this phone. Solid, strong, Windows is a great system...

  • The ring phone volume is not very loud, and if you turn it up to max, it comes to distortion of ring sound. Also the vibration is not strong.

  • also what is the call quality like and earpiece..loud or not..

  • is this phone ring loud and can you have your own screensaver on it ..

  • the price is around $200 or so.

  • yes it is much better than wildfire s

  • amazing phone,everything is just in place,intuitive interface,smooth touch and exciting response

  • Is this one better than the HTC Wildfire S?

  • Mine is broken, it keeps reboot for itself and freeze in LG Screen. Don't know what to do...:-(

  • I've had the phone for 3 months now. works great, but i just discovered that it does not have secondary camera, which was to my surprise! this means when making online calls, or 3G calls, the other side can't see each other while talking. Huge disappointment. I'm selling my phone to replace it with another that has that feature. iphone is an option.

  • excellent phone to just want to say it is faar better tha Iphone 3gs

  • Upgrade my 7 to 7.5 its nice to use touch response is very smooth,performance wise very good,

  • I bought the phone for 200 euros and it's the best value for money. The only weak point is the battery, when data connection is on, it needs to be charged every 24 hours, otherwise it may last 2-3 days.

  • it is very Gooooooooooooooooooood Mobile

  • I bought the phone and it's a great strong phone. The battery sucks in the begining. But after some charges it's perfect! I love this phone more then i loved my iphone 3gs!

  • The battery life is shorter than expected. Even at moderate use the battery has to be refilled almost every day. After three months - I have been using the LG E900 since August 2011 - the battery began to discharge even faster, already in about 12 hours. Otherwise the phone is great.

  • you cant install it

  • Totally i have it with mango without any problems. Great phone.

  • Hey, you guy from Croatia, :) does your phone have some problems after updateing to Mango, 'cause i'm thinking to buy this phone, is this phone worth?

  • I'm from Croatia and have 7.5 update so its available practically everywhere , and don't have problem with any video format so far.

  • I am thinking of buying this phone but i don't know if the 7.5 update is available everywhere.And how is the phone with watching videos xvid,mp4 and others.

  • Ya I got this .display s awsome

  • You always have something to complain, and your Englisch language is not also strictly correct. So please keep your mouth. Becouse = because.

  • I have an E900 Optimus 7, great phone and a real step up from winmo6.5. I've had no issues with it until the past week. Since the mango update it has self-reset three times at least. Anyone else had a similar problem?

  • did you try this?

  • Battery life is much lower than I expected Marketplace is not available everywhere (not available for me also) and this is a big big MINUS becouse there is no other way to have your favorite apps and games. The phone looks very good, display is high quality, performance in navigation, menu and games is incredible, I never saw a lag. Camery is very good. I recommend it to people where marketplace is available.

  • how can i down load videos from other sites i cant down load videos with this 4n. plz help me..

  • Its a good buy. Sound quality is poor but you become efficient with 3G to HSDPA speed. Seamless integration. Camera quality is so so.. Overall its ok.

  • Absolutely loving this phone, bought it a couple of days ago. Windows 7.5 is fantastic and so immersive. Love the social netwaorking intergration. Still a lot of things missing from the OS, especially very basic stuff but still very smooth. In terms of thee hardward of the E900, it feels fantastic in the hands, solidly built and it is all class and sophistication. 9/10

  • Excelent

  • I have the same problem, in the middle of a call the voice disappears, although the call-duration indicator is still going on. Another thing is when a call is established, there's a few seconds of silence, and usually you end up saying "hello, can you hear me?" Really annoying! Can anyone help?

  • I have two problems with my Optimus 7: first, in the middle of conversation it lost the signal on 5 bars to 1 bar and the call is drop; I return it to service and make a last software, but - same problem. It's a soft or hard problem? And second: camera have a little blake point, like death pixel, in camera-video mode. Someone have same problems? Thanks and sorry for my english.

  • sir i just want to know that the bluetooth of this phone is useless? because it cannot send nor receive any stuff from other phones? and also where can i just only use the bluetooth?

  • is this phone can multitasking ? I'm sorry,, I can't speak english well

  • Bad quality phone, has been taken to LG centre twice. Still have not solve te problem yet. Damn you, LG.

  • If you look closely at the specifications of LG devices with Windows Phone 7, java script is list as no or NA same for Samsung. Whereas HTC WP7 Phone have java script included in their specifications. It is something tha manufacturer can or can not include.

  • Would you please know what your talking about before you post! Javascripts has nothing to do with JAVA. That the phone does not support JAVA does not mean it doesnt support javascript.

  • All the Windows Phone 7 phones have javascript. Who told you it didn't?

  • The answer would be NO. Simply becuase of the hardware, which is specifically design for WP7. LG does have a varient of this phone availible with Android OS which uses different hardare, such as OS specific buttons.

  • One key reason I would not choose this phone, is that there is no Java script available. It's unfortunate enough that the WP7 OS has no support for a flash player of any sort, but no Java either! No Thanks. Don't get me wrong though, I do have a LG phone ( my older phone) and I love how everything works and all the features it supports and LG has a history of good reliability. If I were to choose a WP7 device right now the HTC is the only brand supporting Java.

  • ok i have a question...how the hell can i put apps on my phone??...i have zune (oh yea im in croatia...=/), but when i login with my acc it says that its not like the same location, my computer says croatia but my mail says usa...does any one have an idea please!! -.-

  • well,, i live in indonesia,,this fone is not officialy launched in indonesia...but i bought this from starhub singapore,,then i reflashed with open branded fw.. now this fone works great..updated step by step OS => 7004-7008-7390-now 7392... i ever had sony ericsson satio,even iphone 4 iOS 4.2.1..so far this LG WP7 fone seems works better than both for me...i love the simplicity,fluidity,stability and great build quality..ehmmactually iphone has better design n build quality though... WP7 OS seems enough for me but i prefer if it has multitaskin n additional features which will delivered through mango update LG E900 screen seems ok compared to satio,,slightly inferior compared to iphone 4 battery stamina much better than satio or android rival! but comparable to iphone4.. speed,fluidity,stability...well in my opninion..it's much better than symbian,android n slightly better than iOS,,but did u know that LG-E900 processor has inferior performance compared to recent android/iphone4 devices...strangely...WP7 made the fact that it can outperform those rivals... try it n u'll love it...

  • Hi guys, I've read tons of reviews, oppinions and articles about this phone, i know it's ups and downs but i have 2 questions and i would like to receive the answers for them, nothing else. 1.Even if W7 is a great OS, if i want to, can i install android on this phone, is it possible? 2. If the answer to the first question is yes, where can i find the information on the procedure(site, forum)? Thank you

  • Hi Guys, I got this handset some 1 month back with Orange in London. It was recommended by a Orange Advisor only. LG Optimus 7 is one of the best smart phones ever made...infact it is the true I-phone/Android killer. I got LG due to 16GB memory and stylish design, I was also not satisfied with HTC Mozart and Samsung Omnia though omnia has a bigger screen size but still 8 GB memory. The OS is amazing, super fast and Brand New...its a delight to use this phone...U will be hooked to it for the first 7 days for sure. Talking abt the technical details..yes this one doesn't have a skype in built in and U cant even download one but" MICROSOFT HAS JUST BOUGHT SKYPE IN $5 BILLION" today that means Skype is no more skype but a Microsoft product which will be available for this and other windows phones very soon!!! Camera is great but U need to judge which setting to use when! Wifi cant be better as its rocket fast. None of the brands have the facebook merged in this stylish and effective way...it imports all FB contacts in a just a minutes time and u always have the current updates ready. I was initially not satisfied with the APPS but I have seen microsoft's collection; those are very practical and great apps to use (free apps) and yes not every app is free but still there is a huge variety avlble. last but not the least, Battery is not that great but then remember it still gives you 1 and 1/2 days stand by on normal usage where I phone is almost dead and requires a daily charge. Remember such phones drain battery fast due to always on wifi and high end graphics...LG is still better and far ahead than HTC Mozart and Samsung omnia. Loving this mobile man >>>> Microsoft U rock and welcome back in action

  • why cant i blue tooth with my blackberry phone or my mac laptop?

  • the best phone that i have ever got. very user-friendly comparing to android & iphone. fantastic hardware!

  • on the LG Optimus 7, can you screen shot your page like the iPhones and some Androids can? and if so, how?

  • I heard about the heat issues, so the first time I charged it, I removed the back cover. But there was no issue at all! The phone gets only slightly warm when charging, definitely cooler than any of the other phones I had before.

  • I think LG did a great job with this phone. Regarding WP7 it is the best value for the money imo. Cons: -no stereo spekers -nothing special hardware wise (average all the way, great built though) -camera button not positioned in the best place (always below left pinky when holded in left hand) Pros: -Great design -Perfect build -MFG app (hidden) +allows you to developer unlock ;) +allows access to carrier settings -DLNA support -low price

  • Customized ringtones need open phone (as jailbreaked) se here: then you can create XAP "application" with up to 5 ringtones in WMA, 48 kHz fomat, here is app to do create them posted Nov. 30 (ignore their unlock method): then you need to install this XAP, try Tom XAP installer (google it) Hope this helps

  • Yes the heat issue seems to minimize after several recharges. It's not so noticeable after a couple of weeks of intense use and recharge. ( this is normal)

  • Does anybody have problems with the battery life and the equipment getting very hot when charging it? I switched the phone twice and ended up completely giving up on it. Sad, I loved the phone.

  • I cannot believe that MS have not made customized ring tones and blue tooth transfer a priority in this first update.

  • i got this phone 3 days ago and i was very happy with it, till i tried to personalize the ring tone and message tones to my own music just to find out that this phone does not have that feature. Nobody likes the little beep beep tones that a phone comes with, the personalization of ring tones should seriously be just a basic feature that every phone comes with. Now that is just problem number 1, the blue tooth is just as bad, i had friends and family trying to send me stuff and its was not working, later found out that the bluetooth is only for hands free devises n stuff like that. You can not blue tooth to any other phone.

  • pls can it do multitasking?

  • GOt the New Updates

  • thanks LG,,mine workslike a charm,,,,updated to NoDo,,,seems faster,fluid and amazing

  • I just bought LG E900 Optimus 7. I had problem in using the phone. Anyone can help to teach me how to use it? The manual is not simple enough (& also not enough details)for me to understand. Where to download all the instruction guides? Thanks!

  • wonderful phone,,if a person knows how to use a phone ,,im sure he will buy LG optimus7,,, no more comments,,jus go and get one for urself.... no other phone can be compared with LG now.

  • Great device, great OS. MS, finally made something useful in a world of mobile OSs :-)

  • I use an HTC 7 Trophy but am giving it up soon due to cancelling my contract. I think I will opt WP7 again but not with HTC. Either Samsung Omnia 7 or this phone. I think LG wins with all the free apps they will be offering us, also the lens and back exterior look amazing.

  • Does anyone know what "LG optimus 7 Vodafone Branding" means? it is much cheaper and i want to know the differences. Thanks

  • Great device and the cheapest one on the market. Windows 7 Phone also very, very nice much better then creepy WM 6.5 :-)

  • default password for all should be 12345

  • File transfer can be done only using Zune software. Seems like W7 not allowed to access the storage space.

  • File transfer can be done only using Zune software. Seems like W7 not allowed to access the storage space.

  • hello i have a question,on windows 7 phones the alarm clock is working when the phone is switched off???on android phones its not working

  • Have you tried 0000 or 1234.

  • i hv been using my e900 for a few days. Suddenly ran into an issue. Its asking for 4 digit passwd to reset. I cant seem to reset this bcoz it needs the orig passwd. Can anyone help? Thks.

  • One firm push on the power button should awake the phones screen (display) A longer push and hold of the button (3 secs ) to turn it on or off. As for the black display after a phone call is immediately disconnected, it takes a second or 2 to display end call. This maybe because the duration of the call is longer than the timed setting you have your phone set on IE 1, 3 , or 5 mins (sleep mode) and is a power saving feature or you have a problem, but Iam guessing the first one is more likely.

  • I like it, but i have some problems, like the display wont start when i press the power button everytime, i have to press 3, 4 times until it lights up, same black screen happens when i end an call, so i take the phone from my ear and it is black and i have to press once to shut the display and then again to light up the display. Other than that it works fine. I have never seen anyone posting this problem so i think my LG has a problem and should sent it to warranty, or is it Windows Phone 7 fault and should wait for the update in march ? Thanx a lot

  • Men are from Mars and women are from Venus???

  • Oh Yeah, MS gives you a half dozen LAME ringtones,and a half dozen LAME alert tones, but don't worry, there are more LAME ringtones to buy thru their apps system. Want to assign your own ringtones? NO PROBLEM, no problem "cause you can't do it, and MP3s are not even compatible with W7 mobile. That was so 90's, choosing your own ringtone, didn't you want to be a clone anyway? cool then, thanks M$ you are simultaneously crashtackling Android and Ifone with this.(note sarcasm)

  • Bought the phone as soon as it came to the store and never regreated it :)

  • Windows 7 is making this phone the Beta vidio tape of the smartphone world. Each company likes to make it's product different in some way to stand out from the competition. W7 has defined itself by: No compatibility to widely used software like ADOBE FLASH PLAYER, NO SKYPE, non compatibility to widely used media software like MP3, XVID etc etc. A user needs to go back to the old PC to get anything like this and translate it using the ZUNE software into something the W7 package can digest, and then it's on the phone, no longer pallatable to other software. Luckily the W7 E 900 has not got any real bluetooth capabiliy to send anything anyhow. The only hope is that M$ are leaving room for improvement so they can cash in later, marketing a serious version of W7. No wonder the SKYPE people couldn't justify developing software for W7. In a nutshell, before buying any W7 based phone, consider surfing the net without a flash player. An app is there to get you capability for Youtube,(like another layer of search engine between the user and youtube) otherwise online video content is excluded for W7 and the E 900

  • Does anyone know if its possible to assign mp3 ringtones to contacts and if so how can it be done?

  • Love the phone, but was hoping to use SKYPE on it thru wi fi. So far, seems unsupported. Any news on Skype for this phone or w7 in general?

  • y no java is available in this gadget

  • 24 hours only but great, great, great, both LG and W7P :-). Still waiting on update because of cut/copy/paste and I hope more tuning options.

  • I love my Optimus 7!I have it for almost 3 months.It fits really nice in your hand and it has really nice build quality! The 3.8" capacative touch screen is really nice with the Gorilla Glass.I found it an excellent all rounder, with most of the problems being with the OS which will hopefully be patched soon.The connections to WiFi and network are also brilliant and really does have a strong connection that has not timed out on me once and it's speed is quality.

  • Excellent phone. Application loading is fast, starup is fast, shutdown phone is fast. Only flaws I could think of is the Windows Phone 7 software side.

  • Thanks. I figured no 3rd party software could wake the phone under lock condition. After 3rd servicing, the problem was resolve. LG changed the main board after I keep complaining its likely to be hardware issue. Maybe heat makes certain component(s) malfunction.

  • Hi Kelvin I have answer for your second question, this phone has a capability of coming back to life under locked condition only if you keep pressed the camera button..... This is make it easier if you are in rush to take a photo....

  • How come you could say that?? there is no Android version... there is no 9.7 mpx camera and overall the phone samples where available 2 months before the launching. Be serious when posting. I do work in LG so I know what I am talking about.

  • Basically, this phone is a serious competition in the smart phone arena. When I just bought the phone the initial weeks experience were fantastic. Now I need anyone with technical knowledge to help answer a few questions: 01. When you press the BACK button all the way back to the start screen, will 3rd party programs be capable to continue running OR send notification to phone hardware? According to Microsoft, 3rd party program will be in standby once it is sent to background, are they lying in any way? 02. When you press the power button once to lock (turn off) the screen, what are the possible events that may turn on the screen (when the phone is not wired to charger or PC)? From experience, even SMS or email notifications only give audible alert - the display remain turn off.

  • I have it from 2 days, and I am really impressed. M$ have done a gread job. I had the opportunity to compare LG 7 with Samsung Omnia 7, and yes without doubt I could say that the Super Amoled is much better. LG 7 looks and feels much more massive, and I prefer it to Samsung Omnia 7. The battery performance is also very good - last night it was not fully charged and on the next day after a heavy use there were some life left at the end of the day. I am happy that didn't opt for the power hungry HTC Desire HD. I am totally disappointed from the navigation service of WP7. It is totally not usable in Bulgaria, when you search in Sofia (the capital), all results are totally irrelevant. All navigation apps in the marketplace are ridiculous (even the paid), hope the guys from Redmond have not revealed their cards yet.

  • Windows phone is extraordinary, the experience is very smooth and the metro look is really cool. This phone is the best gadget i ever bought,and i think i am more happy about it than i was for my plasma. It really is an excelent phone and OS.

  • I had been using this phone for 4 weeks now and I can claim this phone to be way ahead than iPhone and any other smart phone. (Previously I was an iPhone user). Excellent reception, No call drops,Security features, smooth phone browsing, Sub search options, speed, W7 Facebook, Easy previous call lookup while on the call are some exceptional features. I never expected LG coming to this level. I can guarantee that if LG can place this product in the market in a different way, Steve Jobs will have to find another Job. Windows 7 can stop Apple taking it's customers on Ride.....

  • The only difference is the radio.

  • The primary difference between the two is the cellular modem. While the 8650 supports both GSM and CDMA based standards, the 8250 is strictly GSM.http://www.anandtech.com/show/3710/the-htc-d­roid-incredible-review-clearly-better-than-the-n­exus-one/5

  • All samsungs and HTCs WP7 devices, is equiped with and QSD8250 CPU. LG has equiped their WP7 Phones with an QSD8650 CPU.. Whats the difference between these two CPUs?

  • I have tried the Galaxy S, and it feel like a plastic toy.. try to hold the Optimus it's built like a tank!

  • Anyone kw how to check data usage and outgoing call made using this phone?

  • i think this is the first great lg since they launch their mobile phones on market...because it's WP7....i really like it...:)

  • Oh then u are a damn fool it is in no comparison with galaxy s

  • I got the LG Optimus about a week ago. I had an iPhone 3G before that. It looks and feels great. Build quality is very impressive and WP7 is very smooth! I highly recommend it.

  • For those who keep saying it doesn't have video calling, it just came out and all ready they are doing updates scheduled for sometime in Jan 2011. Let's just wait and see, but we do know one thing they are better than Sony Ericsson who can't get anything right and Blackberry who is still making stone age phones.

  • well from what i saw from the optimus 1, i really cant wait to see the optimus7

  • After both searching the internet and recently speaking to lg customer service Lg says bluetooth file transfer from other bluetooth devices is not currently possible only bluetooth in car connection is. Microsoft phone updates are rumored to begin early 2011 to hopefully correct this.I have also read that MS will be adding features like voice to the navigation app for safer driving. I guess we'll know more when the updates begin.

  • Just got this phone a day ago and I like it a lot. I initally hesitated to buy it, with HTC Desire having a lower price here. After playing with both a bit, I realised that the user experience this phone provides suits me better than that of the Desire. Almost everything related to is is just stunning: from the smooth fonts, the stylish colors of the UI to the details in the Office / People hub. The keyboard is amazing. I was able to type really fast on it even though I'm not skilled at all with typing on touchscreens. The only drawbacks I've noticed are: - you can't remove Windows Live contacts from your people hub - No smart dialing

  • I wanted to congratulate LG for this phone, its a great phone, no freeze, so smooth and fast, so many useful applications, my only problem is that radio only and only works with a headphone, and actually its easy to learn, i'm not a techie guy so i dont do that much of copy paste, but if you do lots of copy paste wait for it to come then buy this phone

  • I hope that lg or Microsoft can provide a down loadable firmware fix for this bluetooth issue. It's strange that my optimus 7 pairs with my cars bluetooth hands free kit and works perfectly, yet it can't send or receive files to another bluetooth handset. It identifies all other sources of bluetooth devices, but fails to send or receive information. The only other quirk I have is not being able to personalize my ring tones with my own music. Other than that everything else with this phone is quite good and I especially like it's navigation features. I have downloaded and installed several apps without any issues thus far. It's basically a compact computer, GPS navigator,organizer,FM radio if you connect to the 3.5mm jack,camera phone and prety much anything else you want it to be with 16 gig of internal memory all rolled into one. Operation is smooth and quick enough. Speaker quality is nothing to rant about but acceptable. Expect to charge the battery daily if you are using it to it's full potential. As with all new phones there are trade offs but generally speaking LG seems to be heading in the right direction. Just fix the bluetooth and ring tone issues for me and I'll be even happier with my new toy.

  • Just 6 tabs? That makes it a no-buy certainly, I can't open every site on internet simultaneously :)

  • Review update to review update: Bluetooth is not working. I can't pair this device to anything, not even to another Optimus 7. I really cannot believe this!!!

  • 1byte = 8bits 1GByte = 8Gbits ==> 1Gbit = 1/8 GByte = 1024/8 MByte = 128 MB ==> 4Gbits = 512 MB q.e.d. :)

  • Review update: 1-It will not wake up and ring the Alarm Clock 2-Internet Explorer with just 6 tabs 3-The worst scenario that happened to me, is that it froze, and needed to RESTART. (I added a new tile to the start menu, and it didn't responded anymore to commands.) 4-It kicks me sometimes out of installed apps.

  • Can this LG E900 Optimus 7 phone download JAVA application.?

  • Well after using now this phone for few days now, I can say: Great expectation - poor delivery. From the hardware point of view and feature's list, it's a more than reasonable setup for a modern smart phone. (1GHZ, 512MB, 16 GB HDD, 5Megapix cam, nice display) From the OS point of view, it's very limited. Small keyboard, phone book issues, just paid Ring tones (let's be serious) and only in download format. There is no access to the phone (namely to the files). A not to intuitive OS in my opinion. Software looks like a quick mock up in order to offer something to the users (very poor). Overall conclusion is : It looks fine, like a beautiful apple, but after you open it, it's like a wroten apple. (A beautiful wrotten apple)

  • Actually this phone is the best windows 7 phone on the market today. Do some research and you will see that only Iphone is marginally smaller and quicker but it does not have some of the features unique to LG. The price is also about $10 a month less. Google any phone and you will find they all have their disadvantages.

  • kvnggg

  • It has 4 GIGA BITS (!) RAM, and 4 GIGA BITS ROM...which translates to 512MBYTES of RAM, and 512MBYTES of ROM. Is there no one commenting with at least the basic knowledge of BITS AND BYTES?

  • The phones only been out since oct, how have you been using it for five months

  • link of Check Price * WElectronics refers to a wrong blackberry phone..

  • this phone is a piece of junk.it is too expensive and it has many disadvanteges.

  • Retina Display ? Android? you've had it 5 months lol ? Funny ;o)

  • 5 Months ?

  • This is not an android OS ph.It Window.

  • LG is good for TV, not for mobiles!

  • wtf? thats wrong in like 5 ways o_O

  • i used this phone the past 5 months and must say the high res screen is great to work with 960x480 pixels retina display and could also create nice pictures, with a 9.7mp camera it must be:D:D only thing is that the android version 1.6 it runs with is still a bit buggy. overall a great phone!

  • If LG has made one great mobile phone in its whole existence thats this phone!! i had their wm(ks20) and android(optimus) phones and they were shit at best, my friend bought this phone and i was going to say what the fak you did but when i worked with it, OH MY GOD IT SO SMOOTH, so smooth, it flies, its speed is completely comparable with my iphone 4, firt phone that i have seen that has the same fast speed like iphone, though i will not change my iphone 4, because of copy and paste and my apps, well done Lg, you recovered your image in my mind, i was regreting that my girlfriend has a lg tv before:))

  • Guys dont fight, Omnia 7 is Fast as also Optimus 7 is, because they both use fastest mobile OS, the freakin WP7, no one reads your mind, its just that reaction to your touch is instant in WP7

  • I used Omnia7 and if any phone is to have faster speed and touch reaction then it would have to read my mind cause there is no response time on Omnia7(or WP7), it is instant.

  • This has faster speed and touch reaction than Samsung Omnia 7. Whoever said this phone is a rubbish, I doubt them because that is not true. LG has the best windows phone 7 and I think this will be a really good seller.

  • This phone will blow every phones away. This is the best phone in the world. 3.8 inch display is not big but not small either. This phone has better software than others. What I really love about this phone more than other WP7 is that this has the best design. Personally I am so going for this phone. Samsung Omnia7 is great but I would still go for LG.

  • I held that phone in my hands yesterday. I wasn't very impressed, It's unusually wide, the screen doesn't have good viewing angles. Finally, the lack of GPS navigation with offline maps means I'll be buying another Nokia. In Europe there's a border every few hundred kms, who would pay for roaming charges.

  • Let me just say that the WP7 phone does have multi-tasking but only for native apps. It doesn't let 3rd party apps to do things in the background and why should if it's a dodgy application. I can have IE downloading a webpage and I can be checking my email not a problem. In fact my 3 email accounts they seem to download all at the same time. Rest of the shortcomings like cut-paste will be fixed or are not so important. Updates work great, already had 2nd update for some of my apps. I have the htc mozart but maybe should have gone for the LG. No probs with my htc though so far, works well! Great experience so far, can't complain and also syncs with the cloud. I won't mention the zune or xbox factors much. There are some things that would change but updates will arrive.

  • Review already available

  • we want dual sim inthis phone

  • This phone has only 3 advantages over Samsung Omnia7: -more storage -better software support -lower price Omnia7 wins the rest...

  • are u serious?i doubt,i use omnia 7,in terms of specifications this optmius is like rat turd.

  • Just returned Samsung Omnia 7 for this product. MUCH BETTER in performance and speed. Smooth as hell! Also better battery life. Highly recommend it!

  • LG = Lucky it's Going... This is my experience in working in the teleco industry. They havent made a product that innovative or reliable for as long as I can remember...

  • the back is lookin just like SE P990.

  • Windows Phone 7 doesn't use Google maps, it uses Bing maps. Maybe google maps will be available later, but Bing maps are as good as google's counterpart. User expirience is quite good, pinch and zoom works great, navigation is available etc.

  • what about Google Earth funtions ..works?

  • LG Optimus 7 is like Matthew B, loser as. What a d#$k

  • This is amazing. I can tell everyone, this LG E900 Optimus7 must be million seller.

  • Yes you're right. Only HTC 7 Pro is better than LG E900 Optimus 7. But otherwise this LG phone rulzzz.

  • HTC is having best Win 7 phone ...!!!

  • Looks to be very very smart Phone... LG comes back with a punch....

  • Which one? Only Samsung Focus has memory card according to GSM Arena.

  • This phone is the best Win 7 phone for LG! Beats the other LG! The LG Panther is also cool with amoled, great ease of use.

  • False

  • All the time bro... functionality will never be replaced by eyecandy a la Microsoft.

  • Of course it can if you just turn off everything (as it doesn't have multitasking) and better turn on your PC.

  • No, this one doesn't, others do.

  • All WP7 does not support external memory card!

  • Here in Portugal we already have it, the price is �549,90 free of operator. The phone is very quick, fluid, no breaks. The only con is that it doesn't suport memory card.

  • it has a 4GB processor ram, 16GB internal mem.

  • I personally tried out the phone. The phone definately kills Andriod if it has more apps available in the marketplace. All WP7 requirement is 1Ghz processor. Hence, this phone is has very smooth usage performance. Overall, you just got to try the WP7 rather than listening to ppl crapping all over.

  • Can it play Crysis?

  • android better than windows 7.........

  • i can only tell you guys that you will only know the truth when the product is launch. :) . They got more that one mistake on the specification by the way. Ha ha

  • 512 Ram...

  • isit real 4GB RAM?

  • The nokia n8 blow this phone out of the water.

  • no memory card slot and no secondary camera again poor and missing things and thinking..............

  • Windows 7 doesn't support video calls

  • Are E900 Optimus7 and GW910 Optimus7 different phones?

  • This phone is da bomb, big up to LG for continuous innovation and creative products. outstanding market products like this 'phone features' cant wait to lay ma hands on it after release

  • Seems like samsung galaxy s is better Haha!

  • looking forward to this phone! Windows Phone 7 is definitely something to wait for

  • hey, good specs...

  • It's 3.8'' according to Engadget:

  • i had an LG and it was great this one is my style

  • i had an LG and it was great this one is my style

  • This phone has a secondary camera. At least, the one that I tried.

  • I advised peoples to not to go for A LG phones as they r making Fools of their Customers. They r Zero at design n they don't know what d innovation is ? Plz check Samsung or HTC.

  • looking forward to have you.. :)

  • hey, could any one please tel me whether winmo7 supports video call as i have not seen a sec camera on any of the proposed devices.

  • everyone exited to have experience windows seven framework, this phone is equiped with latest features like 16m color lcd, gps, mega pix camera, 3g, wifi, powered processor, but lack of wifi is in question, may be rstricted due to new win 7 framework. Most commoc issue of windows mobile remained battrey timinig, lack of animated sreen players. hope that upcoming gagets will fulfill all needs of windows mobile lovers.

  • great

  • any internal memory?

  • 3rd... oww and great design as well...

  • good..
