Pocket Now managed to get hold of an LG Panther Windows Phone 7 smartphone. The new smartphone is obviously pre-release as WP7 hasn’t launched yet. This means the hardware might not be final and the OS is certainly not final.

Just to see how Windows Phone 7 is shaping up it’s self though, Pocket Now decided to run some tests of browser speeds between the Windows Phone 7, Apple iPhone 4 and Google Nexus One to see which was the best of them all.

Engadget has scored a number of Windows Phone 7 and Android scoops through the night it seems. The latest is for the Samsung Cetus i917. The Cetus is another Windows Phone 7 smartphone.

It is described as being Pre-esque in shape. From what we understand, it will also be moving on to the AT&T [T] network. On the back of the device it is glossy, black and curved.

Engadget managed to get hold of a couple of prototypes of the Dell Thunder smartphone.

It appears that the Dell Thunder could work on both CDMA and GSM networks as some code inside had references to both networks. An interesting feature on the phone is the screen looks to be slightly curved. When we say feature, it’s not exactly ground breaking, but certainly different to the flat glass screens we see these days.

This particular phone (or set of phones) were labled EVT1 which indicates it is perhaps the first engineering verification test. With this, a number of problems were spotted such as a few screen issues, no hole for the microphone as well as a few small quirks, all of which should be ironed out before launch we assume.

Research in Motion [RIMM] is rumoured to be looking at buying a mobile ad network to generate more revenue for the company. The networks are believed to be similar to that of Google [GOOG], Apple [AAPL] in that the ads will target mobile pages.

This move appears to have arrived because of the success of the Apple iPhone as well as the rise of Google Android based smartphones which are eating in to sales of the BlackBerry range of phone.

Mobile ads offer a new window to make money, big money, especially when you consider the number of mobile devices that have an Internet connection.
