Orange to finally launch LG GD910 watch phone next month
More interesting news from the UK today as it looks like LG’s would-be-highly-anticipated-if-not-for-the-insanely-high-rumored-price-tag GD910 watch phone is set to become a reality next month. Orange has reportedly confirmed that LG’s Dick Tracy-esque wrist gear will hit store shelves some time in August as an exclusive, though Orange exclusivity will only be for “a limited time”. The carrier hasn’t yet pinned a price on the touchscreen GD910 watch phone and we don’t blame them considering it’s rumored to be in the £1,000 range (about $1,612 at today’s exchange rate) on a pay-as-you-go plan or SIM-only. And you thought the Nokia N97 was expensive. For the sake of our British friends’ wallets, let’s hope the rumored price is way high and this little HSDPA-ready wristwatch drops with a slightly less ridiculous price tag. As for availability on this side of the Atlantic — don’t hold your breath.
first?
HMMMMMMMMMMM! looks nice.

Awesome design, but high speed web browsing… on a 1″x1.5″ screen?
my god @_@ $1600 is crazy. i would rather get a Rolex watch or other high end watches then a LG watch for that price even though it has a built in phone.
It would actually make u look weird holding your wrist up to talk. (they would probably have a bluetooth with it but in case we forget our hand free sets) Like how the first n-gage came out
Boss…I’ve got Pruneface trapped, this is Dick Tracy…over
umm… I don’t know about you all, but don’t your cells (whatever you have, whether it be an ipone or a flipping Razr)… but don’t the battery side get real hot from extended use? 3g radio + wi-fi radio + bluetooth radio = one sweaty ass uncomfortable wrist if you ask me. I don’t know, I guess maybe they thought of that already and have a special battery of some sort?
I don’t see who would buy this
I doubt you will be able to buy a rolex new for under 4k used will be at least 2k 1600 won’t get a good omega either for that price point your looking at the low end TAGS or Gucci.
Apparently some of us fail in the understanding sarcasm department.
nothing on the anti-competitive news coming from the DoJ bgr?
good bye.
If this watch comes with KITT, I am game.
If not, keep the watch!
Don – Not sure if you have priced a Rolex recently but at 1,600 your not going to get much if anything except maybe a crappy used one.
Point being you have to pay to play.
this will be better than the tour!
THIS IS PARTLY WHY WE WORK AND STURDY. IF ITS MAKES YOU HAPPY JUST DO IT.
LG has the worst build quality of any electronics firm in America.

not geeky at all… and wouldnt you look like an idiot holding your watch to your ear talking to it?

I’m getting one. I’ve been waiting for this concept to be debugged and marketed for years. It’s finally become a reality. Hands free will take the world by storm by 2020. You just wait and see
