LG's GD910 Watch Phone Moves Ahead After FCC Approval
It could end up being the reason that people like myself who have not worn a watch since mickey Mouse was in fashion might strap the habit on again, or it could just be another fad gadget, but LG's GD910 watch phone has gotten FCC approval. A prototype was widely seen at CES 2009, and I believe that the device was referenced at earlier trade shows. The GD910 is a Dick Tracy like phone/media device built into a standard digital wrist watch design. Official specs are yet to be seen, but what has been released is as follows:
- Tempered glass, and high-quality metal casing construction
- 1.43" diagonal face measurement, by about .5" thickness
- LG's flash interface featuring touch-screen input
- Voice recognition, and text to speech so it can "read out" text messages
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Three side-mounted buttons
- A speakerphone
- A full-blown MP3 music player
- Water resistant design
- 7.2 Mbps 3G HSDPA compatibility, enabling high-speed data transmission and video calls using the built-in camera
It's guessed in various places that the phone will be compatible with local GSM networks, and perhaps be aligned with AT&T in the US market (only a guess) based on the HSDPA 3G technology utilized. Again specifics are a good ways off, so these last points are speculation. Yet, assuming that the phone actually releases, regardless of who the carrier is, the GD910 will definitely kick geek chic up a notch or two. In case you missed all the hoopla at CES 2009, check out the quick CNET video below for details on the GD910.

Oddly, no info on battery life. Anyone want to bet on "more than 10 minutes"?

Yes, Kevin. It would be rather stupid to market any electronic product with only a 10-minute battery life. Duh!

I wonder why they don't let anyone touch it. Perhaps it isn't as easy to use at they claim. Imagine if when they demoed the iPhone they told you not to touch it.

I think it's popular for teenagers.

I was also assuming this phone watch among flop devices but when i search for it, my views become quite change. This phone watch is so expensive, small but still it is good because of great features combine in this small device.
Kevin i have check it's specification at http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_gd910-2644.php, which shows it's battery time of about 2 hours talk time and standby time more than 4 days.

That D3s is amazing and it was cool to see an "iPhone optimized clip" from the 7D
