Microsoft’s tight design rules on the Windows Phone 7 (WP7) mobile operating system has meant that the LG Optimus 7 won’t be significantly different from the HTC HD7 or the Samsung Omnia 7. This is aside from any performance differences afforded by, say, a larger battery, faster processor or more memory. The new mobile OS is also unlike earlier Windows Mobile devices where phone-makers can include a custom user interface overlay (such as HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz) to differentiate their products from the competition.
For the Windows Phone 7 shortcuts list below, we’ve picked the LG Optimus 7 as a reference for Windows Phone 7.
