LG's Monaco (IQ) spotted in Telus garb, rocking WinMo 6.5 and Snapdragon

It's been a hot minute since we've heard anything about LG's Monaco, but now it seems as if the wait for this to transition from presentation slide to reality is almost over. Unfortunately, Windows Mobile 7 won't be onboard as previously rumored, but prospective Telus customers can look forward to LG's S-Class interface sprucing things up somewhat. Other specs purportedly include a Snapdragon processor, WVGA display, 5 megapixel camera and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, though nitty-gritty details beyond that are nil. Peep that read link if you're lusting for a few more angles, and don't kid yourself -- you are.

"not minute"?
"peep"?
nice!

@iroq d mullet
*hot. perdon.

@iroq d mullet
Your not obviously in with the lingo. He meant "a hot minute". and as for peep, it's roughly translated in to "Old" English as Click.
Out of interest, seeing as you've marked it, what overall grade did u give it?

[iroq d mullet Posted Nov 24th 2009 5:46PM]

Well, I'm glad you asked, Neon. If you didn't notice, I meant that as a compliment. Seeing that sort of "lingo" and sense of humor (something you might be lacking, it seems) is actually refreshing in a comical kind of way, so I give it an "A". As for you, with your:
Misspelled "Your"
Lowercase "a" at the beginning of a sentence
"in to" should be "into"
And use of the letter "u" to replace the actual word "you"
and your utter lack of humor, you've earned yourself an "F" grade, "F" is for "F*ck off".
Any other questions?

Monaco? How about a name a working man can identify with, LG Fajlujah, or LG Newark or LG Scranton

Android is better than win mobile 7

@errorrat anything is better than WinMo.

[N900 Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:57PM]

@errorrat Android is better than an OS that didn't even release yet, sans random spy photos?

Oh wait let me guess: time for you to tell us about how WinMo is old, and how it's dumb, and how people who like it are dumb, and how it's getting kicked to the curb, tossed aside, whichever metaphor works for you.

Surely, maybe just for today, you'll throw fanboyism aside and grasp the concept of your ridiculousness....

@errorrat First time I've seen "Down rated to oblivion"

I lol'd.

[HighestRanked Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:39PM]

@ N900, really, let's just take what you are saying seriously. What do you really think WinMo 7 is going to do to reverse the horrible fortunes of WinMo right now? I'd like to know.

[HighestRanked Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:45PM]

You people are fools if you think you can down rank me.
I am HIGEST RANKED!!!!

[Mr Mario Posted Nov 25th 2009 4:17PM]

@HighestRanked
Annnnd, you're kinda dumb. The same was said about Motorola's downward spiral. Now with Android their fortunes have been reversed. WM7 is 1 killer app away from coming back - unlikely, but possible.

[Neon11234 Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:09PM]

that sounded epic in my head. it's a overall disappointment.

Are you nuts? you have the pre and hero!

[Neon11234 Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:12PM]

There's a bug on the reply comment system, or i've lost the plot.

[artshark Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:10PM]

snapdragon and a real keyboard...NOW we're talking killer device

[Banksta3 Posted Nov 24th 2009 6:58PM]

@(Unverified) Seriously. With the limited specs we have, this thing is like the Touch Pro 2's Cooler Stronger brother.

[HighestRanked Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:13PM]

WinMo? who is going to want that crap in this day and age. Specially when there are far superior alternatives out there.

[smitty5569 Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:19PM]

@HighestRanked not on telus network
maybe the iphone but for ppl who want a qwerty keyboard the only way to go is with windows mobile

[HighestRanked Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:30PM]

@(Unverified) Telus should get the Droid then

[jareth86 Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:26PM]

An aged looking phone with an aged looking, touch un-friendly operating system. Who could say no?

[HighestRanked Posted Nov 24th 2009 10:42PM]

@(Unverified) I don't understand why people down-rank your comment. You are totally right.

[va jj Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:34PM]

this phone isn't listed on gsmarena?

[bigboy Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:40PM]

This thing looks like my last tough pro, did they let HTC build most of this device? Android is a great OS, the iPhone has a great os. Neither is as versatile for business then WinMo yet in my opinion. I still prefer my Touch pro 2 with 6.1 on it.

[AbhishekVerma Posted Nov 24th 2009 4:48PM]

Looks like resistive touchscreen.

I'm out!

[LRawlins Posted Nov 24th 2009 5:54PM]

What in the bloody hell is a 'hot minute'?

[Lucas Posted Nov 24th 2009 7:31PM]

Here's a new phone with Snapdragon. People gonna stop complaining about no snapdagon now, and saying how every single phone SHOULD have Snapdragon?

[austin15g Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:50PM]

blahh windows mobile -.- .... what about the android lg phone?

[errorrat Posted Nov 25th 2009 2:31PM]

WinMo 6.5 stinks too.....................
