Really MS? The first ever Windows Phone 7 phone and you name it "GW910"

Why even bother? I mean seriously android may be garbage and not my cup of tea but one can't deny that they've come up with some interesting, catchy names for their phones...

Sometimes less is more MS...]]>May 24th 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/

as long as the phone works who gives a shit what it is called.]]>May 24th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
You need a clue. It's an LG device. You think LG maybe came up with the name? Come on ... it's not that hard.]]>May 24th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
Just because you dislike android no need to call it things many people like android and it is a very capable operating system and you have to give it credit for what it has accomplished in such a short period of time and the following it has got.

What a cheap, generic-looking handset for a debut flagship device on the newest OS from the world's largest software manufacturer. :-|

LG can't make a desirable high-end handset to save their life.

LG named the device not MS. Honestly I think they should stick with calling it the LG Panther. Sounds better but in the end that has nothing to do with MS. I'm sure when HTC puts out their devices the names will be better.]]>May 24th 2010 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/May 24th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/May 24th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
" I mean seriously android may be garbage and not my cup of tea.."

Yeah bad mouthing Android while you bad mouth LG

Yeah smooth]]>May 24th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
Shut up nimrod. I know LG makes the phone but that doesn't mean MS has no input at all.

And if you think that then you're the idiotic one here.

More importantly it is ALL ABOUT MARKETING dumbass.

How do you market GW910 to the masses.

This is a bad name and you all know it. Downrank me all you want but I'll continue to say the truth.

And yes android is shitty subpar operating system. You can yell and scream all you want about flash this froyo that and multitasking but none of those things matter one whit to me. I prefer not to have Flash and I won't be using multitasking that much that it makes it a "do or die" type of deal that you guys make it out to be.

Obviously the millions of people who own iPhones agree with me.]]>May 24th 2010 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/May 24th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
And before we go into it I'm NOT trying to make this an

iPhone vs android debate

I'm just simply pointing out that this phone represents a LOT for MS. Yes MS does have a stake in this phone. It represents the first of many new phones with their new OS.

Do you think brand name isn't important or something? Any idiot out there can tell you what the Droid line represents. Not to mention it sounds cool to say you own a Droid. Or a Droid Incredible.

All I'm saying is that it wouldn't have killed MS to work with LG to come out with a nice name for this phone.

God people stop taking things I say the wrong way intentionally. Its not that hard to figure what I meant to say/was implying...]]>May 24th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
What exactly is your problem? This is a developer, prototype device that likely won't be released to consumers. It doesn't matter what it's called. I don't get why you always act like you have some major chip on your shoulder. Go take some benedryl or something.]]>May 24th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
I don't believe this will be the final name for the device. Every prototype that LG has had always had a numerical naming scheme. For instance when the BL series came out. They eventually became the Chocolate line up. BL40. KP became Cookie. Now look at the GW line. Notice that most of them have recently been for smartphones running different OS'. GW990 was for Meego. GW620 and GW880 was for Android. GW820 was for 6.5.

The GW910 is for WP7. Now, only the GW820 (Expo), 620 (Etna) have been given names after their numerical prototype naming scheme, but could we consider that the GW910 will be given it's final name soon enough, Panther in this regard?]]>May 24th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/who cares android sucks period. The flash is not all that great anyways HTML5 is way better. Now back to the LG Phone. Phone is hot. It's just a name for the phone so leave it alone and be happy they making it for wp7.]]>May 24th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
You don't believe that the FIRST ever Windows Phone 7 Series device means a lot to MS?

You're idiot sir.

Lastly what phones lately have you heard that have sold bazillions that had a name like this? Please list them out?

The last few successful phones according to my memory are

1) iPhone
2) iPhone 3G
3) iPhone 3GS
4) droid

Thats pretty much it....maybe globally theres a nokia phone that all over the place but thats it.

If you want to bring it feature phones lets see we have the

Envy, Rumor, multiple Samsung sliders.

My point (and its a VALID one) is that the market recognizes a device that has a strong name...that's ALL I'm saying.

But hey keep insulting me personally instead of acknowledging that what I'm saying may have some truth to it.]]>May 24th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/You are the biggest Hypocrite I have ever seen.

I would venture to say that naming can is subjective. Sometimes it means everything, and sometimes nothing. Some people care more about what it can do and how cool it can do those things, and other just appeal to what it's called.]]>May 24th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/lgs-windows-phone-7-caught-in-some-early-packaging-to-be-dubbe/
- No skype, no mozilla, very little 3rd party translated sw for the most part
- No copy&paste, no memory card file system
- DRM everywhere - makes Apple look open by comparison
- software starts from 0 apps. Not binary compatible with WM6.x
- No true multi-tasking (killing processes 'with state' ain't the same thing)
- Mandatory Windows Live ID to even start using the phone (say goodbye to your privacy)
- no hacks for anything (yet, maybe for a loooong time)

Thanks Microsoft and LG, but no thanks.

You have created the most closed source, most island-of-a-phone in a world developing towards openness and inter-connectivity. Yes, even the closed Apple ecosystem looks open by comparison. Android, Meego or Symbian? No comparison.

How many morons does the marketing dept think there is to sell this to?

They must have a bigger budget than we think...
