LG has reportedly told Korean sources that “it expects WP7 to outperform the two rival smartphone operating systems” – one of these platforms is definitely Android (I’m not sure about the other platform LG is referring to; Symbian? iOS? BlackBerry?).
via LG to bank heavily on Windows Phone 7, says WP7 will outperform Android » Unwired View.
While Samsung believes WP7 is doomed, LG believes it will RULE!
This might go some way to explain why LG is in such dire straits when it comes to smartphone share.

When HTC, which had made 80% of Windows mobile handsets, largely gave up on Microsoft, LG was the replacement. At the time LG said it would launch 50 WM handsets over the next few years. If 50 new handsets was part of a contract, LG clearly doesn't want them to be a total financial disaster - given its current losses as a cellphone manufacturer.
