The Watch that is also a phone, the LG GD910 Watch Phone is impressive

Much like an item out of a James Bond film, the LG GD910 Watch Phone offers an engaging and futuristically styled watch that is also a phone. Its release in August 2009 was much heralded as an innovative new approach for mobile phone technology. The watch, as you would expect is somewhat compact in size, being 49 mm x 39 mm wide and only 13 mm thick. Taking into account the view that it is a watch that is meant to be worn on the wrist, its weight at 84 g is impressively light.


The LG GD910 Watch Phone has a 1.43 inch TFT capacitive touch screen which displays amazingly colourful imagery due to its ability to display 256,000 colours. As its means of navigating around the features contained within the watch the screen uses the Flash user interface, which is both responsive and user-friendly.


This watch phone comes with both ring and vibration alert types available, as well as the ability to download polyphonic and MP3 ringtones as its means of individualising the phone. In addition, a speakerphone is included within the package. The phone comes with text to speech capabilities as well as an impressive speech recognition feature.


The phone comes with a VGA style camera that provides an effective means of taking simple snapshot imagery. The phone also offers video calling capabilities. Standard SMS and MMS style messaging is provided as well as a browser for effective web browsing.


Surprisingly this watch phone also provides an impressive array of connectivity options which include GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA and blue tooth. The internet can be accessed at an impressive 7.2 Mbps whilst the Bluetooth connection also provides the ability to utilise a Bluetooth headset for making and receiving phone calls.


The phone is IPX4 certified, which is a certification that relates to its water jet resistance capabilities. In addition an MP3 player is provided, which will play all major audio file types with ease. An organiser is also included, which provides the means to enter important information and appointments. In addition a variety of games are also included within the phone which provides additional entertainment options.


The LG Watch Phone is an impressively functional watch phone. Although its initial appearance is one of a gimmick styled phone, in fact it offers a similar level of functionality to many handsets currently on the market. Its novelty factor alone will ensure its popularity.
