-----------------------
Looks like that LG Panther (GW910) is getting around these days. 'Innovative Singapore' received not one but two of the prototype devices to actually start developing their WP7 software. If you recall, we reported on how Windows Phone 7 devices will be going out to developers soon and sure enough, that time has come.

Not only do they show more images of the phone, but they have some of the not-yet-finalized packing and even a sample shot from the camera. Their brief hands on is repeated verbatim below. Needless to say, developers must be getting excited at the prospect of using actual WP7 hardware. We know we can't wait.

This is definitely still a prototype device, and there are still quite a few rough edges to be fixed. The device OS is still being updated with new builds almost every other day.
Even the packaging and box is expected to be different before the final product ships. For example, the current box is not even using the correct Windows Phone 7 logo.
Despite it’s prototype status, the phone appears to be more or less feature complete and incredibly responsive and fast. The animations are all very smooth.
For the time being, you need a special build of the desktop Zune software (Dorado) to sync with the device; the current released version of desktop Zune software won’t work.
The camera works pretty well, and the resulting photo is sharp, as you can see below:

InnovativeSingapore is a Microsoft operation so it's still not 3rd party. I'm anxiously awaiting MS TechEd though. Fingers crossed that they give out devices to attendees.

Anybody else's video stream is like ultra slow? Been waiting for 10 minutes for 10 seconds of video...

(Trying to download the video didn't help)

Yea it's downloading at like 70KB/sec for me. At 117MB, that's quite a while. Almost done though.

Yeah, did that as well... What's even more funny, is that Chrome tells me that i'm dling @ 200kB/s and my network monitor says 30kB/s ...

Damn you Singapore

Here is the same video re-uploaded:

"Start KITL" Application

I think this device would be useful to develop a one for older devices

Anyone try backup ROM from this device?
