LG's just announced that the GD910 will start production later in 2009, featuring 7.2Mbps HSDPA, Bluetooth, speakerphone, video calling, voice recognition, an integrated music player, and a touchscreen in case those three side-mounted buttons don't cut it.

I don't know...seems like a watch phone would just be awkward at best...If this thing takes off, expect a new Dick Tracy movie in the future though.

It just looks like a small cell phone with a wrist strap. I could make my cell phone into a "watch" right now using that approach.

I think this will be popular with those who use Bluetooth earpieces. It seems it would be uncomfortable otherwise, but PERFECT for Bluetooth. I would get one. I like the idea.

Same here. Get a bluetooth headset and you have phone and music strapped to your wrist... You just have to be careful not to bang it too much. This phone is probably worth the extended warranty.

Anything that will encourage a new Dick Tracy movie sounds good to me :D Also, I would definitely feel awesome wearing a phone like this.

Hmm, I like where this is going. I wasn't planning on getting rid of my GzOne next year, but if that gets favorable reviews I might just consider it.
