Damir, 16 Jan 2013The new Fullhd-device could not be a WP, cause that doesn't... moreThat's right, why has everyone forgotten that WP8 doesn't support Full HD?
And a 5.5" screen full of tiles = headache.

    with no support for full hd in wp8, the device is already expected to be a droid , LG make fast updates , make more interesting powerful phones and for every range and then you will get a big sales boost without even using wp8! Sony is rising because of having low end to mid range to high end devices and htc is falling because of no convincing midrange devices!

        I think a lot of LG users of Optimus 7 lost faith in LG WP device when they said they would not update 7.5 to 7.8 and declared them self out of the WP market.

        I certainly found that after that announcement a lot of people including a few of my friends were selling there LG Optimus 7 on, there was a definite influx of them on Ebay.

        Who would have any confidence in buying a LG WP8 device.....

                  Oh yeah? Now they see WP8 is getting traction and they want to jump back.
                  Anyway LG's hardware never stood out

                    ahah thats hilarious!
                    they say to never burn bridges... LG did with microsoft, now they probably wont be getting any sort of help from them in terms of marketing/boosting the brand.

                    its a good way to deversify. just look at all the other pathetic OEM's that just focus on android pohones.. none of them except samsung are profitable. they're putting all thier eggs into one basket, and one day they'll be left with nothing.

                      Yeah that's not going to work, everyone knows if you want to flourish you have to make Android with 4.0 +
