LG has been really struggling in smartphone market lately. Having risen to fame with Chocolate/Shine feature phone line, they made a series of strategic blunders just as the market started to shift to post iPhone mobile computing devices. Back in 2007 LG had a contract with Google to make the very first Android phone, but they walked out on the deal deciding to focus on their own Prada and Arena touch phones.
Then, in early 2009, LG bet their smart fortunes on Windows Mobile, signing strategic cooperation agreement with Microsoft. The plan was to make 50 LG WinMo devices in 3 years.
