LG Optimus 7Q Both LG Optimus 7 phones offer a multimedia player that is capable of playing most major formats, an FM radio, a 3.5mm audio socket and stereo Bluetooth. This is a 3.5G device capable of a maximum 7.2 Mbps download speed and 5.7 Mbps uploads, and the Optimus 7 also supports 802.11 b, g and n WiFi.

The software suite includes a web browser, social networking services and an email client in addition to the media player. Other applications should be available to download from the Windows Phone 7 marketplace, although don’t expect thousands of applications at launch.

The LG Optimus 7Q (or LG C900) adds a slide-out QWERTY keyboard but comes with a smaller 3.5″ display. Compared with the Samsung Omnia 7, LG’s offering has a smaller screen (3.8″ compared to 4.0″ on the Samsung), but double the internal memory. Even though the Omnia beats the Optimus on screen size, the LG is still a little bit better than most other market leaders. The display on the Optimus 7Q is smaller than most of the competition, but the trade-off is what looks to be a well-designed QWERTY keyboard instead.
