We knew Orange will be carrying LG’s 3G-enabled watch phone. However, when they announced that at this year’s Mobile World Congress, we haven’t got a clue they’ll sell it for whooping 900 Euros. That’s $1,286, according to today’s exchange rate!
That’s ridiculous and aside from few fancy-schmancy playboys living in the uber-expensive arondismants of Paris, I can’t see this flying. As a matter of fact, I doubt they’ll sell more than 50 of these, unless they subsidize it more heavily and LG eventually makes it more affordable.
If anyone of you is tempted to pour out that much money for a watch phone, we’re eager to hear you reasons. Please make a compelling argument, otherwise we’ll think you’re nuts.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
