Here are some new pitures of LG’s first Windows Phone 7 handset the LG Panther aka LG GW910. This is the same prototype handset that Microsoft has been sending to its worldwide offices to start training people and developers. And as you can see written on the box the LG Panther can also capture video in 720P! Be sure to check back here Wednesday were I will hopefully have some hands-on impressions with pictures and videos of the device in action!
– This is definitely still a prototype device, and there are still quite a few rough edges to be fixed. The device OS is still being updated with new builds almost every other day.
– Even the packaging and box is expected to be different before the final product ships. For example, the current box is not even using the correct Windows Phone 7 logo.
– Despite it’s prototype status, the phone appears to be more or less feature complete and incredibly responsive and fast. The animations are all very smooth.
– For the time being, you need a special build of the desktop Zune software (Dorado) to sync with the device; the current released version of desktop Zune software won’t work.
– The camera works pretty well, and the resulting photo is sharp, as you can see below:
