Microsoft Employee Shows Off Prototype Windows Phone 7 Series Smartphone From LG

Aaron Woodman, the director of consumer experiences for Microsoft’s mobile division, was a guest on today’s Engadget Show, and he had a nice surprise for everyone: a prototype of LG’s Windows Phone 7 Series phone.

There’s not a whole lot in the way of details—it’s a slider that’s a bit thicker than the iPhone, it has a 5MP camera, and sports six hardware buttons—but it’s still exciting to see the new operating system on a branded device for the first time.

Head over to Engadget for more pictures and a quick video clip of the phone in the round. [Engadget]

    So what month is Februa?

    Does this lack of detail bother anyone?
    If MS cannot be bothered getting font size right, you have to wonder what else have they decided not to bother getting right.

      it’s all part of the “awesome” sideways scrolling UI.
      I still don’t see it myself, but everyone is so excited!

      I think you missed the point.
      It’s intentional, its artistic.
