LG Blog UK Leaks Windows Phone 7 Details – Sorry!

October 12th, 2010 by Dave@LGUK

Devicemag.com were one of the many sites yesterday to pick up on my slip, as I posted the LG Optimus 7 details ahead of the embargo. In fact they even said “someone is sure to be in hot water with that early slip”.

Yes, that early slip may have been my fault, I may have failed to notice the time zone was EDT, not BST, but let’s not kick a man when he’s down. And I was down, literally hiding under my desk ignoring my constantly ringing phone.

Please consider this my public confession… And remember “to err is human; to forgive divine”.
