LG have revealed that they’re expecting to launch a Windows Phone 7 handset sometime between September and November this year, as stated in an interview with Engadget Chinese at a Chinese New Year event.

The information isn’t really new though, as it’s been circulating on the Internet for a while now, albeit in an unofficial form – now it’s just been confirmed by an official source, and this pulls it out of the “rumor” class.
