WP7 LG C900 Gets Launched Around September 28th
It seems that the release of the first Windows Phone 7 device on the market might be closer than what some were previously expected, at lease this is what official documentation on one upcoming device, the LG C900, shows.

The info on this mobile phone's market arrival comes from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, which made it official via its website. Here's what one can read Bluetooth SIG's website: "This model will be available on Market around 2010-09-28. If you have any more questions about this model, you can contact LGE by email." Of course, this does not confirm that the exact release date of LG C900 with Windows Phone 7 would occur in September, but it does show that the market availability of this device should start at least in early October. Since the first Windows Phone 7 devices are expected to be put on sale in the market in Europe, and since that should happen in October, we can safely conclude that LG C900 is set to bring Microsoft's upcoming OS on the old continent at that time. At the same time, we should note that the Bluetooth SIG listing shows the device would be released in markets in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Previous reports on the availability of Windows Phone 7 handsets suggested that they would be released stateside in November, though chances are the actual launch would occur earlier, it seems. "This end product is called LG-C900N, LG-C900k, LG-C900B, which is a kind of 3G cellular phone. The supporting features related to BT of this models are like bellows; - RF: 2.1 + EDR - Profile : HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP, PBAP," the handset is described. The LG C900 was spotted into the wild a few days ago, when it was said to be headed for AT&T's network, and the new leak seems to be in line with what was previously rumored on it. However, there is no telling on whether this would be the first Windows Phone 7 handset at AT&T, since other similar devices also made it to the web, including the LG E900 or the GW910, the later said to sport AT&T connectivity too.
