LG Optimus 7 Windows Phone 7 confirmed

LG has announced the global launch of its first Windows Phone 7 devices, LG Optimus 7 and LG Optimus 7Q . Building on Mi-crosoft’s new operating system that offers people the ability to do more in fewer steps, the LG Optimus 7 series introduces a new era for smartphones and offers consumers a whole new experience of mobile life.

LG Optimus 7 series offers the glance and go experience of Windows Phone 7 combined with unique features only available on the LG devices. These compelling applications — the DLNA-based Play To, augmented reality (AR) and Voice-to-Text — are available as Live Tiles on Windows Phone 7 and can be accessed via integrated “Hubs”.

The LG Optimus 7 series offers a breakthrough in entertainment convenience by putting the mobile device at the center of today’s digital lifestyle. With Play To, the DLNA-based multimedia sharing technology available only on LG Optimus 7 devices, users will have the most user-friendly file-sharing experience. LG is leading the innovation of DLNA technology by offering easy and intuitive settings for accessing this feature. Play To lets users share multimedia files with other digital devices from the picture, video or music Hubs without having to access other menus. Users will be able to display videos and photos captured on their LG Optimus 7 or LG Optimus 7Q on a TV or enjoy music on their phones through their favorite speakers without wires.

LG Optimus 7 comes with an expansive 3.8 inch WVGA LCD display that can capture every detail in a photo with its 800×480 pixels, the same resolution offered by the LG Op-timus 7Q’s 3.5 inch display. The screen size makes the Optimus 7 series large enough for convenient web surfing but svelte enough to fit in any back pocket. The generous 16GB of internal memory is enough to store hundreds of MP3 files, hours of video and hundreds of applications. It has also an extra large 1500mAh removable battery.

ScanSearch, an AR application that connects users with a world of information, is another unique feature available only on LG Windows Phone 7 devices. Users can access real-time information about shopping, dining, weather, entertainment and banking, bringing together one’s online and offline worlds for a more enjoyable life.

LG Optimus 7 also lets users speak up and be heard thanks to LG’s Voice-to-Text feature which allows communication without the need for finger input. LG Optimus series owners will have the freedom to transcribe their voice into text for updating Facebook and Twitter or composing emails and memos for the experience of convenient, hands-free communication.

LG Optimus 7 and Optimus 7Q will be rolled-out in over 35 countries via 100 global partners and operators starting with Europe and Asia on October 21.
