Great phone!

I love my Optimus 7! It fits really nice in your hand and it has really nice build quality! The 3.8" capacative touch screen is really nice with the Gorilla Glass which makes it very scratch resistant. Maybe the LCD display isn't as good as the S-AMOLED on the Focus and Omnia but I really like it!
Pros:
  • Really nice build quality
  • Nice new WP7 OS
  • Gorilla Glass
  • Fast
  • Average camera quality
  • Play To (DLNA
  • Xbox LIVE
Cons:
  • The camera could be better in the dark
  • The LCD screen isn't as good as the Focus or Omnia

Windows Phone 7 made its debut a couple of months ago, and it made quite an impression on the PC Pro team. For a mobile OS designed from the ground up in little more than 18 months, it looked slick, was easy to use, and has proven extremely responsive on all the phones we've tested so far.

LG's Optimus 7 & Samsung's Focus Reviewed: A Tale of Two Windows Phones

How do you even begin to compete with Apple or Google? Both companies have a knack for identifying the wrong way to do something and doing the exact opposite. The latter tends to give away much of its innovation while the former somehow makes it cool to charge handsomely for it.
