We’ve been reporting on a likely watch phone for some time now, but it would seem that the LG variant could be first to surface in the UK…
TechRadar has picked up a report from T3.com – and they have been told that Orange are confirming the watch/phone for August. To give it its proper monicker, it’s the GD910 – packing 3G, and supposedly also Bluetooth, speaker, touch-interface, and …. a web browser…?! The device is apparently going to come on PAYG as a SIM-Free device, weighing in at… wait for it…. £1000! What is it with devices costing £1K recently…?
I already had a mini-tirade at the fact that the iPhone 3GS is selling at £899 SIM-free, but the watch/phone takes the biscuit – and that is one very expensive biscuit!

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
