LG's magical GD910 wrist phone packs touchscreen, camera and rainbows

It was deliciously inevitable that a watch phone would eventually show up that could actually "pack it all in," and it looks like LG has actually accomplished that feat in its LG-GD910 model. Of note, the phone packs a touchscreen LCD, 3G data, and a built-in camera for videoconferencing and being a general badass. Sure, browsing to your favorite gadget blog might be a tad bit difficult on that 1.43-inch screen, and there's always the question of fashion, but those are minor quibbles -- the real question is where can we get one, and for how much. LG should be showing this off at CES next month (it showed off a predecessor this January), and plans to release it in Japan and Europe, but we've got a couple of cereal box-delivered 2-way wrist radios crossed behind our backs in hopes for a US berth.

How is this not interesting? It's a watch phone that actually looks legit, is made by a legit manufacturer, and it's not like watch phones are being released left and right. The touchscreen is definitely a nice addition, considering the ones with minute keypads look utterly ridiculous. While I would never use one on a daily basis, I could see the usefulness of this for traveling or for children, since it's a lot harder for this to be stolen, and it's handsfree.

I'll only get it if I can talk into it like Dick Tracy! Hell yeah!

Bummer. The specs say you can't talk into it like D. Tracy.

From the linked page:

"The device also offers text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities, Bluetooth, MP3 playback and voice dialing with speech recognition."

All in a package that i wouldn't be ashamed to slap on my wrist? Not bad, although i'd like to see more watches that simply link to your cell for info/controls via Bluetooth, like Sony's MBW-150.

LG's Prada II handset has that ability. Also, I do believe that the first 1000 sold include the watch while it's an accessory that you can purchase later on. Cool beans!
