Sprint's first Windows Phone 7 device from LG?

Reportedly what you see above is Sprint's first Windows Phone 7 device from none other than LG and it's supposedly 4G ready. Those cats at WebOS World say "Our source had only a quick opportunity to take a this snap."

Indeed.

Really, that's all the info given. That's assuming what you see above is even a phone, or from Sprint, or running Windows Phone 7.

Going for a huge stretch, we could even postulate that this is the LG 'Apollo', something we reported back in January (with a bunch of other erroneous information) But back then that device seemed unrealistic and today it doesn't seem all that more real either. Then again, Sprint has wowed us before with the likes of the HTC EVO and heck, the HTC HD7 rumored specs aren't that far off from these, so who knows. A refresh on those supposed 'Apollo' specs from January:

Launching: August/September 2010
CPU: Qualcomm QSD8650; 1.3GHz
CDMA + GSM (aka a World Phone)
EvDO + HSDPA
Device Size: 115 x 57.5 x 11.2 mm
Memory (RAM/ROM): 1GB/1GB
External Storage: MicroSD (up to 32GB)
Screen Size/Type: 3.8-inch capacitive AMOLED “Multitouch Supported”
Screen Resolution: WXGA 1280 x 720 px
Camera: 10-megapixel with flash and autofocus; HD 720p video@ 30fps
ZOMG Lasers

Well, we'll wait here for some more definitive evidence before we go do a happy dance.

Release date please, the printing money part sold me. Hopefully for sprint but I might be inclined to jump ship.

I was under the impression that Windows Phone 7 wasn't going to feature external microSD. Was I wrong in that assumption? It'd be great if I was!

Nope, your original assumption was correct, no user replaceable storage cards on WP7.

Much as I'd like this to be true--especially the prospects of a 2010 release date--I find this claim dubious at best. Didn't Microsoft just inform the world that no CDMA phones running Windows Phone 7 would be out until early/mid 2011? Perhaps a ruse to surprise the U.S. market with a killer Sprint phone? Hope so.
