When Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 just a few days ago at Mobile World Congress, the only sort of time frame they’d give for release was “by the Holidays”.

As it turns out, they may have meant Labor Day.

Engadget Chinese met up with LG during some sort of Chinese New Year celebration, and got hit with a nice little knowledge bomb: LG’s hoping to launch their first Windows Mobile 7 phone by September. Alas, they also said that it might slip back as late as November — which is about the time we’re expecting much of the first batch of WP7 phones to launch.
