The LG prototype device has been a common sight for a very long time in the Windows Phone 7 scene. Then lately the product monikers C900 and E900 has surfaced, but not very much have been known about them except that C900 will be a slider and E900 won't.

But now the guys over at Android.com.pl has gotten their hand on two examples and published some specs.

The E900 allegedly has, A Qualcomm QSD8650 processor - that's right folks it's time for some 1.3GHz goodness! The QSD8650 supposed to be about 30% faster than it's 1GHz brother, but at the same time be about 30% less power hungry (using only 10 milliwatts in standby). Except the usual required stuff it sports a 3.7" screen and handles HD video recording and playback.
The price figures given by the site says 300$-400$ when released later this fall.


The C900 is a landscape slider model, comes with a QSD8650 as well and ofcourse the usual bells and whistles. Price said to be about 300$ at launch.



Here's a small vid of them booting side by side, although it seems the C900 crashed. If this is anything to go by the E900 boots in about 25s which is pretty good.

So, the blog has been pretty dead lately. It's due to me having had my usual summer vacation and also started a longer session of parental leave.

During the vacation I have managed pretty well to take a break from computers and my other interests, spending time with my girl friend and our lovely daughter.

But now the summer is over and it's time to pick up where I left off. I still have a pretty long period of parental leave to go, but I'll try getting back to the blog when the kid falls asleep and my parental duties ends for the day.

A lot of fun stuff has been going down during the summer. And what is catching my interest mostly is the Windows Phone 7 action that has been going on.

We've seen a few official hardware devices being displayed (going to update the WP7 Hardware page when I get time).

The most enticing thing to happen this summer feels like the statements that WP7 will definitely be launched in Europe during October.

We heard the rumors about this before, but it still felt hard to believe. So it seems we're going to get Windows Phone 7 released here in Europe before the US get's it later in the fall. Maybe a good tactic from MS, making sure the initial snags are ironed out before the release on the all so important American market.

Device vice, I have been waiting for a HTC Desire all summer, but the queue seems endless. So we'll see if I get my hands on a WP7 device before I get my first Android unit.

So with this post, dedicated to Giles, I proclaim that I am back from hiatus and eagerly diving in to all subjects mobile again :)
