LG abandons Windows Phone, will focus on Android Phones for now

In the past few hours LG told the Korea Herald had no future plans regarding Windows Phone based smartphones, noting that " The total units of Windows Phone sold in the global market is not a significant figure. " .

The interview with the Herald, however, continued reassurance by LG will continue its efforts on research and development for the Microsoft system.

From these words it can be assumed then a long pause where LG will not launch any Windows smartphone, probably jumping the launch of Windows Phone 8 and waiting for a "silent" eventual success of the OS made in Redmond.

LG then leave in the hands of Nokia, Samsung and HTC the fate of Windows Phone, a major loss for the mobile OS where the cheapest devices were precisely those of the Korean manufacturer.

FCC reveals LG Windows Phone for Sprint?

This isn't the first time we've seen the LG Windows Phone LS831.  It's appeared on WP Bench and we first caught wind of the device being at the FCC back in October 2011 but only had the FCC ID label to show for it.  There's even some speculation this is the LG Fantasy.  Now we have pictures (doesn't look like the leaked pics of the Fantasy) and more information that could make the LS831 Sprints new Windows Phone.

FCC documentation on the LG LS831 indicates this Windows Phone support CDMA in the EMSR 800MHz band. A band used by Sprint.  The LG Windows Phone also supports the 1900MHz CDMA band.  Along with the banding, you also have a Sprint/Nextel Waiver included in the FCC Documentation that ties the mysterious device to Sprint.
