The LG Optimus 7, a Windows Phone 7 device, is one of the two WP7 smartphones that LG currently unveiled. For me it's a great phone design wise, I could not say the same for performance, because all of the current WP7 devices have equal performance, base on other WP7 device reviews. What, I think, made makes the LG Optimus 7 a great device is basically who how it's been put all together and the combination of a great, not perfect, OS in a great, not perfect, hardware. Head over the break to know what Endgadget thinks of the LG Optimus 7.

Just one look of that device would make you want it, I don't know about you, but I like it. But we all know that technology is never a fail proof thing there got to be something wrong with something and the LG Optimus 7 did not get away from that ideology. So the good things and the bad things of the Optimus 7? Below are snippets from Endgadget's review of the device. Click here for the device's specifications.
Good:
"it's the lone Windows Phone 7 launch handset to offer a full set of physical buttons up front"
"We chipped a nail trying to open it up the first time and it could be something that aggravates over the long term as you'll need to open and close it every time you want to hook your phone up, whether for power or data transfer. We understand why the cover's there, it ties in with the overall look and adds an extra layer of protection but it could be done more elegantly"
"The power button is also a little smaller than we'd like, but that was rarely an issue"
"The way the camera compartment is set up in the back of the phone is worthy of special mention. Yes, it's gaudy and highly reflective, which somewhat detracts from the understated look of the phone, but it's also quite ingeniously put together"
"Performance on the Optimus 7 is exactly as we've seen with all the other WP7 phones we've reviewed already"Bad:
"The one thing we would pick up on with the Optimus 7 is that its browser rendering suffers a little when pages are zoomed out."
"Anti-aliasing kicks in very nicely when you're up close, but when you're viewing the page in its full size, details start to generate (subtle) jaggy lines."
"Battery life was one area where we were left rather disappointed. We expected the Optimus 7's 1500mAh cell would give us more time away from the cord, but in fact it too -- just like the HD7 and its 1230mAh battery -- exhausts itself at somewhere short of two days, whatever you're doing"
"Having taken a wide variety of shots with the Optimus 7's camera, we can pretty safely say that its 5 megapixel imager isn't moving things forward in any meaningful way"
"We feel somewhat odd giving such a high grade to a device that really brings nothing new to the table in terms of hardware"And the verdict:
"It's hard to quite crown it the finest WP7 launch device -- after all, Samsung's Omnia 7 has a bigger and significantly better display -- but the LG Optimus 7 might just be the one we most enjoyed using"
As you might have noticed, its the first WP7 device that received an 8 over 10 score from Endgadget, which means, no matter how imperfect the Optimus 7 is, still the good things it has over weights the bad things.
