Gift Tip 79: LG LG-GD910 Watch Phone
Dec 8 2009, 11:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
The LG-GD910 Watch Phone is the world's first 3G VT Service & GSM Quad band
Network watch phone. LG Electronics developed it by applying the wireless
technology merged with miniaturization and large-scale integration technologies.
The LG Watch Phone sets a new level for wristwatch phones.
The LG-GD910 has a capacitive touch-screen user interface, three side-mounted buttons, Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and even a full-blown music player. It's also water resistant. The LG-GD910 has tempered glass, a high-quality metal casing, and is around 13.9mm thick. The touch screen itself is 1.43 inches
diagonally, and features LG's Flash interface. Features include voice recognition, Text to Speech, and stereo Bluetooth. Following with the trend of packing all the features of a full-sized cell phone into a watch, the LG-GD910 excels beyond other phones with the ability to also make video calls.
The LG-GD910 is a wonderful innovation from LG electronics. The key features are really appreciable. But it is a novelty gadget and not a full replacement for a mobile phone for most people.
Great Gift For
For the 2009 Dick Tracy wannabee.
Price and Where to Buy:
The LG-GD910 is available in Europe from Orange, but some retailers sell it unlocked for around $1,000 in the United States. You can find stores via
Google Shopping. Because wristphones are more of a cool novelty that something you would have along side a normal phone you also can pick up one of the much more affordable
wristwatch phones offered from Asian electronics companies on
eBay (e.g the Q8).
