With all of the Nokia , HTC and Samsung buzz people tend to forget that LG is still a Windows Phone OEM and that we should expect new Mango devices from the Korean company later this year. The first one seems to be the LG-906 which has been WiFi certified back in May and is known to run Mango thanks to its User Agent xml.

Given that the LG Optimus 7 is the E900 it is safe to assume that the E906 will be a evolution of it without much changes besides an updated chassis (most probably an MSM8255 SoC) and slightly new design.
