The first WM7S prototype phone from LG, with a full keyboard [with video] - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Not much information at the moment, apart from the standard headphone jack, 5 megapixel camera and the usual three button configuration.

The guy from Microsoft refused to answer a direct question: "Is the HD2 getting the upgrade?", his answer was "Come to MIX"

very ugly hd2 is the best

Cool ... but how big is the screen?
3.7" .... ?
It looks smaller ...

HD2 MAKES THIS LOOK LIKE A MOUSE... i believe hd2 will get upgrade

From what I see is that LG already has the Software..
and the HD2 looks 1000% times better!!!

The front reminds me of the enV Touch, but it's pretty nice overall. The keyboard is meh, not quite as nice as the TP2's, seems decent.
Nothing amazing design-wise, but we are still questionable with these specs.
What is that screen size though???
Unless my eyes are completely deceiving me, it really doesn't seem that big: 3.2", 3.4" maybe??
I don't recall a physical size minimum, and it is really not necessary.
Yes, the HD2 looks nicer, but it is a different style phone.
Remember we still have hardware choices with WinMo.

Didn't HTC say it was going to get the upgrade?

I love looking at all the new cell phones. I haven't liked LG because the quality hasn't been good in the past. HTC is my favorite and before them, HP.

I don't think I'd ever buy an LG product..it'll have to be HTC or nothing, hopefully I can just upgrade my TP2 (I know, I know, it may be too slow..but we'll see!) I'm surprised this has a keyboard..that is a must have for me and everyone I talk to says they are "out"..guess not!

Some grunt in their Russia tech support dept "announced" that a while back. HTC head office immediately issued a statement saying this was incorrect.

very simple phone (old styled)

He looks like as LG Monaco but the buttons are new(search,windows flag,back) maybe it is Monaco but created for wp7s?

actually i like the style and especially the keyboatd layout. curious about how the next htc wp7s phone will look like.

I'll be waiting on the Touch Pro3 or whatever they decide to call the next landscape slider.

and where can we download this leaked rom LOL .

Its actually interesting you say that, Windows Phone 7 Series may not be possible on the HD2 because of the actual button configuration.
Guys/Gals, please see post #28 via this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637919&page=3
Let me know your thougts/opinions.
Thank you.

I don't like this phone too. It's typical LG-phone and there is nothing new in the phone.

It's really ugly. Can't wait for the first HTC WP7 phone (with a qwerty)

what is with WP7s and the words coming off the screen???? they are trying to be trend setters but it just looks tacky and unfinished!

TP3

i remember when looking for a new phone that around jan this year the first details of the tp2 came out and from then on we got to see more videos etc of it from phone shows
can we expect the same in jan2010 for the TP3
for me if they make it slightly slimmer with the spec of HD2 then i think it would be perfect
no way should they tamper with the keyboard
heres hopeing jan 2010 brings us our first look at the tp3
how about touch pro 3 with a capacitive touchscreen that supports multi-touch?

while not as compact and a all in one solution, i replaced my rhodium with a hd2 + logitech dinovo mini combination

I kind of doubt it. They still have a lot of money to make on the TP2. I guess the timing wouldn't be that different compared to where the TP1 was in its lifecycle, but that device seemed spent much sooner to me--it also sticks out a little in the product line as the TP2 probably is more of a tytn III than a TP2. I think we'll see the first leaks on a TP2 + snapdragon in late spring or summer. There might even be an inclination to delay it for a rollout with winmo7.
On the other hand, an HD2 Pro could be justifiable before then. I suspect the distinction doesn't make a difference to you, but a device with a 3.6" screen really is in a different category than a device with 4.3" screen. I'm not totally sure what that category would be exactly. Business for people looking for an OQO replacement? Multimedia for people looking for a better video player/gaming experience? Big-handed people?
HERE at the bottom of the page. But a keyboard and a tilt mech on the HD2 and I am in. Dont get to excited though when you look at the specks you'll know why
I can´t see this as an upgrade for our TP2
Ok, yes it has a slightly faster processor but with smaller screen! WQVGA...no way!
I don´t think we will see a real upgrade for Rhodium till 2011
So let´s enjoy Rhodium!!!

I think HTC was targeting the n97 mini with this one. Although I think the n97 mini has the same resolution as the n97.

HD2 will have Windows Phone 7 Series OS

Forward to 6:51:30 and watch the ladie hand raied to her Ear @ 6:51:38

No it isnt that is the demo phone that was used in the press event. It only has three hardware buttons at the bottom. The HD2 has 5 buttons.
If this is HD2 > leaked roms soon
I hate to break it to you guys but i very much doubt that they would have gone to all the trouble covering up the HD2 if they were going to release it for the HD2, it is almost definitely a prop
this isnt the HD2... watched the scene 10 times, its the prototype
from before!
Clearly not a HD2

Guys... you don't get it... there are two different phones there, one IS the HD2, the other one is that prototype.
Yes, the HD2 is in that video. But no, at no point is it shown running WP7.
Please provide a picture where the hd2 is shown in this video...
there is no hd2 i can see...

@freyberry it is not blue after all
The front is grey, this is not the HTC HD2. And this phone on the picture has corners too round compared to the HD2
Even thou its an HD2 it doesnt mean a ****. So what if Microsoft is using the HD2 for WinPhone 7 commercial? They used the hell out of the Touch Diamond to promote WM 6.5 but we never saw it coming officially.
And porting, how do you guys know its as "easy" as before. Cab files and roms:s?

First Sensible Comment in this thread.
No search button no 7
title says it all
And hypothetically: IF there is a prototype that runs Windows Phone 7 and looks like the HD2, it does not mean that it shares the same internal hardware. HTC might provide a prototype based on the HD2 with different hardware specifications (faster/other CPU, different graphics processor, more internal storage, ...).
However, I think the best explanation is that Microsoft uses the HD2 in a commercial without it running Windows Phone 7.

My new WindowsPhone7 Concept

hello guys!
I wanted to show the concept that I created a hypothetical WP7 ...
What do you think? any opinion?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPSS!
I have just found that hasn't three physical buttons!
is a joke of course, since the new OS is like that of an iPhone (OS much criticized).
Good one
That would be hilarious, except didn't Apple finally give in on copy/paste? And rumor has it, multitasking might be on the way in.
I think the UI would look more at home on a sidekick given what's actually underneath. MS isn't in the smartphone business anymore.

i think the thread: are ms on crack should include some other guys too... if you think wp7s is a copy of the affle ifhone... cant say it, i might burn my tong... wp7s will be great and its really innovative! and with some tweaks and other good stuff from XDA im sold!!!!
lol @njao if you can not see that it is an exact copy of iPhone OS
Maybe the UI is better but it lacks all the apps so no advantage over iPhone, shich is a piece of crap and so is WP7S.

Nokia's First WM7 Device

Looks like Nokia's first Windows Phone has been leaked by the CEO no less. It looks a lot like the recently announced N9, but no word on what the internal specs are. It will have to blow the current generation of phones out of the water for me to give up the Super AMOLED screen on my Focus.
i didn't see any windows buttons. In the video he didn't actually turn it on.
Who knows
Full video can be found here:

yeah the lack of front 3 buttons was what I was wondering about as well.
Hmm can't get the full video to load, but it's about time we get a peak of a Nokia WP7 phone. Can't wait!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M1wC0pS_No
Here you go, enjoy
So does anyone know if this would work on Sprint if it had the same quadband CDMA radios as the meego version? Because I would buy this immediately, if that were the case.
PS - In the long version he turns it on, and another guy comes out and demoes it.
Thanks for the links.
Looking at this unreleased phone, and looking at the already released HTC sensation 4g. All I can say is, Microsoft is in deep ****.
Deep, deep, deep ****. SMFH.
Microsoft is in a very poor situation with regard to WP7, trying to push a new OS to a market which isn't exactly dying for one, needing hundreds of phones and friendly distribution, but the video doesn't make it any worse.

Why were they still recording when he asked everyone to switch off their camera?
Should be more coming as well.
but the here's my question....will it have a FF camera? that's the only thing I want in my next windows phone and well mango too
That's.... kinda ugly at first glance.
I don't particularly enjoy the Nx designs. Sad to see them sticking with it for wp7.
ALTHOUGH I do like the boxiness aspect. I think rounded edges are old school, boxiness is a good thing design-wise.

Or, you could say that rounded phones are a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Pulling a square-edged, boxy phone out of my pocket can be a real pain, but a phone that has nice rounded corners is not a problem at all.
And personally, boxy = ugly to me.

Hmm never thought of it that way. Would never have thought of that as I've never owned one without rounded edges.

Since they are on-screen buttons, they can be minimized or disappear altogether during a game or open app. This would completely eliminate the accidental press of these buttons.

No Omnia M on this picture, only in the "more pics" link there is on the 6th photo being held by our WP TL . We weren't allowed to make photos

also, no Mozart love!
EDIT: Interesting to see that the bright theme is rarely used.
am i the only one who thinks the way the nokias reflect the light makes their digitisers look like they are made of cheap plastic (don't know from experience, touched a wp7 nokia)
