LG GD910 Watch Phone will come to Orange

I don't know why Orange decided to include the LG GD910 mobile phone watch in their mobile phone portfolio. Honestly, I think watch phones are just novelty gimmicks since some of the China made watch phones I've seen are about the size of a wall clock. However, LG is able to squeeze the size of the GD910 down to a regular watch.

Seeing the demo video, I was reminded of James Bond. The LG GD910 looks really awesome--in the video, at least. Let's just hope that in real life, it would be able to deliver the same performance. I know the reason I'm not so much into video calling is because videos are still choppy.

The LG GD910 has bluetooth, 3G, speakerphone, and a capacitive touchscreen. Of course, texting on this device would be a REAL pain. The LG GD910 is expected to retail for £1,000 and will be available in August. I don't know if the £1,000 price tag is already subsidized by Orange and if they would include this in under their Orange contract phones but probably not since 1000 quid is still a lot of money to pay for a subsidized phone, even if the LG GD910 is a cool gadget.

If that's just too much of a price for you, you can check out some Chinda made ones for under 200 Quid complete with Bluetooth, webcam, and a stylus. Of course, in the world of watch phones, the cheaper they are, the bigger they come.
