Check out the video above. I wonder how many times the actor said "Google it" and they had to re-do the scene with the proper "Bing it"? ;-) Windows Phone 7 looks good in the scene though!</p>

LG is a Korean brand and Park Jee-Un who plays Detective Kono is Korean, so is Daniel Dae-Kim for that matter.


South Korea is always on the cutting edge of technology so it didn't ring as a product placement to me it made sense.

Trust me, it's a product placement - Windows Phone 7 has shown up in several episodes now.
