The E900 Optimus 7 is the first smartphone manufactured by Korean company LG that runs on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 mobile platform.
Unlike its Windows Mobile predecessor, which was targeted at enterprise users, the Windows Phone 7 operating system is aimed at consumers. This puts the WP7 platform in direct competition with Apple's iOS and Google's Android, which both have the same target.
Microsoft has issued strict hardware requirements for all manufacturers who want to implement the new OS on their devices. These hardware requirements are tough to meet and limit the variety of devices that can run Windows Phone 7.
Obviously, the LG Optimus 7 fulfills the minimum requirements needed: 1 GHz processor, DirectX9 rendering-capable GPU, 256MB of RAM with at least 8GB of Flash memory, accelerometer with compass, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor and Assisted GPS, 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash, FM radio tuner and 6 dedicated hardware buttons.
Announced in October 2010, LG Optimus 7 was launched on the market in November 2010. Currently, the handset can be purchased for about $550 without a subscription.
