LG has new love affair with Microsoft

Windows Mobile

The ever popular LG Incite

Don’t let the fact that LG has just agreed to make three brand new Android phones fool you. They’ve also just signed an impressive deal with Microsoft that will make Windows Mobile LG’s primary platform.

LG has more than 50 new WinMo phones in the cards with this new deal and looks to have launched at least 26 of those by 2012.

“The Windows platform brings flexible and customer-friendly software that ties into the Web and the PC, giving our phones a wide range of new capabilities to address an increasing number of segments and markets,” said LG’s CEO, Yong Nam.

Both LG and Windows Mobile have set up research and development teams to help ensure that WinMo is tighgly integrated with LG’s hardware.

I’m looking forward to seeing what LG and Microsoft have up their collective sleeves, how about you?

    LG was really great back in the days of the G4010. And then there were several years of mass suckage. More recently, the only faults I can find with the LG Shine are that it will not power on for its alarm clock mode, nor will the alarm sound if it is in silent mode. Oh yeah, and it would be nicer if it used mini USB. But overall, a top notch phone. I have heard great things about the VU as well. As for the Insight, my impression is that it could have better stats for the money. Maybe the next gen?
