Updated: Cheapest ever BNIB Aussie retail Windows Phone. Be quick bargain hunters!

Australia’s premiere Daily Deals site is about to launch THE BEST deal for anyone wanting to get their hands on a Windows Phone 7 handset EVER seen in this country. The device? A very solid Gen1 performer with the bonus of DLNA & Internet Sharing; The LG Optimus 7 or E900 is the device – the catch, it’s a 900band 3G unlocked device – so it’s optimised for Optus or Virgin networks here. This means it will not support Telstra NextG or Vodafone new 3G networks, although it is offered unlocked from the Optus/Virgin network so you can choose which of the two you wish to use it on.

And the price….well you are just going to have to keep reading, but you could buy TWO of these devices for less than the RRP of the new Lumia 710!

*** UPDATE ***

It’s back on – with over 2000 handsets sold so far!!!

$159 and $10 Shipping cap!

      Ooops sorry (too much eBay!) Brand New In Box :D

  • Ali Farhat

    I just bought one to use as a spare thanks. My HTC Titan X310e has a broken LCD and digitizer that I’m trying to fix at the moment but i can’t even find the parts on ebay. If your phone ever plays up on a contract with a telco, they’ll send you an iPhone or a Galaxy S II and I can’t handle not having the WP experience so I had to get one in case anyways.
