LG Fathom Shows Up At Best Buy For $100
![LG Fathom Shows Up At Best Buy For $100 [Another Windows Mobile 6.5 Phone Going On Sale Soon At Best Buy, But Does Anybody Care?]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/LG-Fathom-Flyer-PhoneTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
If the LG Fathom had Android, we’d be pretty excited about it. Instead, it’s using Windows Mobile 6.5, which takes us out of the mood. Thankfully for anybody who’s interested in this phone, both LG and Best Buy seem to know that it isn’t as cutting edge as it would be a year ago, so it’s being priced accordingly. A leaked Best Buy flyer shows the pricing for the LG Fathom and also confirms the device is coming soon.
The LG Fathom is coming to Best Buy, via Verizon Wireless. As mentioned earlier, somebody sent a flyer from Best Buy to MobileCrunch, which not only confirms the pricing, but shows that the device should be arriving any day now. The phone will cost you $99.99 with a new two-year contract. The out of contract price will be $499.99. A word of warning, like most of these new smartphones, the subsidy requires a data plan.
To review the LG Fathom, it’ll have a Snapdragon 1GHz processor and a 3.2-inch touchscreen, along with a slider QWERTY keyboard. It’ll have 256MB of RAM and is all in all, pretty awesome hardware, aside from the OS, which as mentioned, is Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro. To sum up the hardware design, it kind of looks like a Motorola Droid/Milestone. Anybody agree with me?
Although this wasn’t captured in the leaked Best Buy flyer, word on the street is that this phone will be released May 27th.

It would be a very poor copy of Motorola’s famous Droid.
What amazes me is that any Windows Phones are still selling at all, considering how far behind the competition it now is, and that the Windows Phone operating system it runs is now obsolete.
With the release of Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’, it really puts the old-fashioned Windows Phone to shame.
