There was a rumour that LG would announce a Windows Phone 8 handset at Mobile World Congress, according to an article in the Korea Times.

Now however an LG representative has poured some cold water on that idea, saying LG has no immediate plans to sell a Windows Phone 8 handset.

"We want to give customers what they ask for," an LG representative told CNET. "When there’s a significant market for it, we will be on board."

LG has instead decided to be one of the first to ship a phone running on Mozilla’s Firefox mobile OS, an OS which smartphone buyers have of course been crying out for.

LG last released a Windows Phone in 2010, and has already pre-announced a new Optimus range running Android for later this year.
