LG's Windows Phone 7 Series Early Prototype
suraj.sun writes to tell us that Engadget got an early look at the new Windows Phone 7 series early prototype (and included a video). "The QWERTY slider is the first branded Windows Phone 7 Series device the world's ever seen, and while the hardware and software are both obviously early, we can tell you a few things about it: it's just a hair thicker than an iPhone or Nexus One, there are dedicated hardware camera, volume, and power buttons in addition to the back, home, and search buttons dictated by Windows Phone 7 Series, and we noticed a five megapixel camera with a flash on the back, along with a headphone jack. Can't say much apart from that right now, since things are so early and everything is subject to change, but things are certainly moving along."
The whole point of interest in this story should be the phone's OS - win 7 mobile - as that's the novelty. Instead we get a friggin hardware rundown. So what? The text from TFA is the same as the blurb, save yourself a page click till there is some actual interesting useful information there. The video is also next to useless, half of it is looking at the phone turned off. Reminds me why I don't read engadget.
