LG’s ‘Phone Watch’ Could Cost £1,000
Oh dear. Remember the very cool LG Phone Watch, the recently unveiled GD910? Well, according to industry sources, Orange is planning to charge up to £1,000 for the sexy touchscreen device as part of a pan-European rollout. And you thought the iPhone was expensive? The price is broken down to around £500 for the phone and a 12-month contract priced at around £40 a month. That's shocking news for all of us James Bond wannabes, especially those of us not working for MI6 with a government expense account for super-cool gadgets built by Q. The GD910 is not the first watch-style phone device but it certainly is the best looking and the first to go into large scale production by a major phone manufacturer. It's 13.9mm thick and features most of the features you'd expect on a 3G phone. It has a small 1.43in touchscreen display and is capable of making voice and video calls. There's text-to-speech functionality via a small speaker but owners will mostly have to use the watch phone with the bundled headset - except for those times when then want people to think they are a spy and talk into their wrist. You can watch a video of the LG G910 up close below but, if that price tag gets confirmed, that's about as close as many of us will get.-Martin Lynch [Mobile Today] phone mobile
