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.

    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 :)

    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?

    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.

    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
