Hello Mr. Jetson, Can you hear me on my LG Watch Phone?

While attending CES this year I was able to see the LG Watch Phone. The person wearing the Watch Phone could not wait to get off his wrist. He said, “everyone is pulling my arm in ways I did not know I could bend it.” I laughed as I released his arm. This could be the next phone to outsell the iPhone. It is small and functional.

The Watch Phone from LG that I saw was a working prototype of the GD910. The device is a 3G Touch Screen with video phone capabilities, a Flash interface, MP3 Player, Voice Recognition for calling, text-to-speech and text messaging. It is Bluetooth compatible as well as featuring 7.2 Mbps 3G HSDPA for fast speeds to carry that video call … from your wrist.

There is not a price set just yet, but you can expect that it will be expensive for a watch. The memory can accommodate a large phonebook of contacts and a calendar to keep you organized. The device will be launched in Europe at the end of 2009, and Orange will be the first to carry the cell phone – I mean Watch Phone.

LG Showcases 3G Touch Watch Phone at Mobile World Congress 2009

February 16, 2009 -- LG Electronics, a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, will demonstrate the world’s first market-ready Touch Watch Phone (LG-GD910) with 3G Video Telephony (VT) service and GSM Network capabilities at Mobile World Congress 2009. The phone was a sensation when it debuted at Consumer Electronics Show in January.

During the exhibition, LG will hold live demonstrations to show how the phone can be used to make video calls. This is a unique feature among watch phones and shows how advanced LG’s wearable mobile really is. The demonstrations will take place at LG’s booth in Hall 8 of Fira de Barcelona from February 16-19, 2009.

This chic, wearable phone is a follow-up to the prototype that LG introduced in 2008 and includes a number of upgrades, such as a full touchscreen interface, 3G capabilities and video calling. Most importantly, this watch phone will actually be available for purchase. Read more
