The LG Panther is getting plenty of attention after it was shown off last week –potentially stating that it could be the very first Windows Phone 7 series device to be launched.

While the images of the touch screen smart phone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard was anything but telling; it was more than enough of a confirmation of LG’s decision to make a WP7 device and to show that they are well ahead of their competitors. In terms of specs, many are still wondering what LG will be giving with the upcoming Panther, but there are already plenty of speculations as to what we should expect based on the performance and demands of the 7 series mobile platform.

The easiest and most probable guess is that the Panther will come with a Snapdragon processor –mostly hinted by the fact that Microsoft and Qualcomm are teaming up for this new OS and that the highly detailed and dynamic user interface would require plenty of hardware power.

The touch screen display is most definitely going to be capacitive since the touch based controls will certainly be using gestures. Also, the UI uses larger buttons, icons and links; a sure sign that it was designed to be tapped with a finger instead of a stylus.

This recent report about the Panther has been conflicting with earlier news reports about the LG Apollo. The Apollo is expected to be a super phone with extremely high end specs and follows the basic touch screen look as opposed to a phone that comes with a physical keyboard. While some assume that the two phones are one and the same, we are certainly hoping that these are two different phones. After all, considering the initial speculations, both of these devices are going to be worth looking forward to.
