It looks like LG couldn’t quite make an announcement of new Windows phones alongside HTC and Sony Ericsson, but word has it they’ve got plans for three devices in the next couple of weeks. The GW600 is a likely bet, and the Monaco is another possibility, but it’s all up in the air until we get an official announcement. LG and Windows Mobile are pretty tight, and their commitment to three 6.5 handsets, presumably ready for the platform’s launch on October 6th, really solidifies that partnership. Whether or not that enthusiasm lasts all the way through Windows Mobile 7 will be something else altogether.
