LG Electronics today unveiled its GD910 Touch Watch Phone, a wearable phone with a full touch screen interface, 3G capabilities and video calling. Using materials found in top watches such as a curved tempered glass face and high-quality metal casing, the GD910 features 7.2 Mbps 3G HSDPA compatibility for high-speed data transmission and video phone calling using the built-in camera.
The Watch Phone's 3.63 cm (1.43-inch) touch screen uses LG's intuitive Flash Interface. It is capable of sending text messages, making phone calls and keeping accurate time.
The GD910 also includes stereo Bluetooth and a built-in speaker for playing back music files. Voice recognition features can be used with or without a Bluetooth headset. Text-to-Speech (TTS) reads messages out loud.
"Our new 3G Touch Watch Phone is stylish, sophisticated and the height of technology, but it's also undeniably fun," said Dr. Skott Ahn, CEO of LG Electronics Mobile. "The Watch Phone also demonstrates LG's technological leadership, proving that we can bring all the components in today's most advanced mobile phones down to a very small scale."
The LG GD910 is set to go on sale in Europe sometime in 2009.
