It's cool
LG -- it's not like we really need to know model names and BOMs for each of your new
Windows phones. In fact, it's completely kosher if you just tease us with launch dates and nothing more. It's not like you've got any
rivals out there already sharing a good deal more or anything. And hey, if it weren't for that oh-so-informative blurb underneath the image in your press release, we wouldn't even know that the
already-launched GW550 would be amongst the first three WinMo 6.5-packin' smartphones you've got on deck for an "imminent launch." What precious little we do know is that in addition to that there GW550, the first volley of three will feature a full touchscreen device and a touch slider with full QWERTY -- both form factors we'd fully expect represented in force for 6.5 -- and they'll be made available to "early adopters" in Europe, Asia, and the US before being introduced on a larger scale. But listen, we definitely appreciate you telling us that a grand total of 13 new Windows phones will be out and about by the end of 2010, and we'll be patiently waiting for
details on the whos, whats, whens and wheres. Toodeloo!

call me stupid, but doesnt that look like the nokia e71/e72...?
:S
ouch.
That was my first thought as well.
Yes, the configurations definetly looks like an E71, that was the first thought that came to my mind. I guess Life's Good when you steal other people's design.....
it's like an e71 filling in a crunchy blackberry shell. it's always been dog eat dog when it comes to cell phone design, but jeesh is this shameless!
The first Motorola Q9h and Motorola Q9M. After that's Nokia E71 copied and now LG. LG can't live without copy another brand design.
First off.....EVERYBODY COPIES EVERYBODY!!!!! Stop hating and accept the fact that it is hard to come up with original designs when everything has been done fifty times over.....you can say apple copied LG with touch screen phones since the first Prada phone came out months before the iphone....and now everyboday is doing touch screens....what about the LG Rumor.....Samsung came out with the Rant.....COPY MUCH.....
i just want to say this engadget... I LOVE the way you guys write. your sarcasm and banter is classy and humorous. i nice medley of sweet and sour.
Cheers to you guys.
Haha, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this looked like an E71.
I guess I might be the only one who thinks it also resembles the Samsung Epix or maybe even the Blackjack II?
The top of the screen on that phone says "Good Email"...
Isn't that Motorola's enterprise email service?
long live 6.5, it kicks so much ass i love it
can't wait to use it on a device that it was actually intended to be on
and ditto to estrouse's remarks, you guys rock
WOW! For a moment I thought LG bought out Nokia for the E71 form factor. I hope Nokia goes to town on LG if they have patents for the design of their phone. This is pretty low of LG...they usually have very inventive phones, but this one is surely a rip off.
