LG Prada Running Windows Mobile 6

Enough toying around with cellphones not featuring any kind of operating system… The time of the smartphones running Windows Mobile 6.0 has come and, as we have seen about five days ago, LG is one the first mobile phone manufacturers that never had nothing to do with the smartphone market to embrace this new wave of Windows Mobile love.

Starting
from here, lots of websites have "spotted" it in just 2-3 days after the official announcement, stating that Microsoft and LG will collaborate to release a new line-up of WM6 enabled smartphones on the market, the next candidate to run the MS operating system.

Obviously, being the closest and easiest prey for the vicious, WM6 smartphone thirsty bloggers and tech editors have turned there attention to the Prada cellphone. But, unfortunately for them, LG and Prada have declared from the beginning that this device was running a custom OS jointly developed by the two companies.

I know it's very hard to believe Prada put in some coding work but remember they never said how they split up the work on the devices' operating system.

One thing is for sure: they did some work on it (design, painting, etc) and that was their final statement, this way totally blowing up the "Prada runs Windows Mobile 6" scenario.

If that wasn't true, then what did everybody see to believe that? They saw some kind of prototype LG has presented during the 3GSM exposition, a proof of concept looking strikingly similar to the Prada handset.

That is the thing that started it all and until LG will officially release their first device running a Windows Mobile 6, it will probably remain the last thing we are going to see related to this subject. Apart from leaked photos, rendered LG WM6 enabled handsets, Photoshop edited photos and that kind of stuff.
