LG GD910 watchphone unboxed, adored, smudged

If you've been drooling and pining and otherwise adoring LG's GD910 watchphone from afar, wanting to add one to your wrist, hopefully you found your way down to the Orange shop at Bond Street Station in London this morning, as that's where and when they went on sale -- and we wouldn't be surprised if that's where they promptly sold out. The folks at Electricpig managed to scoop one up and took a suite of pictures of the phone, its box, its UI, and even its gigantic (decidedly non-folding) AC adapter. Initial impressions are good, tempered only by a seemingly great amount of shame felt when wearing this in public. We suffer from no such misgivings.

Link not working!

[manifest3r Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:02AM]

nevermind :/

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:43AM]

Don't work for me.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:05AM]

Yes, there is no way that I would touch this, I dont know, its too gimicky for me, and besides, I like my old analog style watch.

FIRST!

(to be downranked)

:D

1) False

2) True

[ramone32 Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:07AM]

I'll wait for the shoe phone.

[Gad Get Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:10AM]

I'm still waiting for the sock phone.

[LAY Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:22AM]

I want the Inspector Gadget phone. Pulling an antenna out of my thumb, and talking into my fingers is the only way to go.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 4:03PM]

I want one of those Star Trek communicators. A pin on the chest? How useful!

[Eternal Density Posted Aug 27th 2009 7:28PM]

I'm holding out for the bananaphone.
It's a phone with appeal!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:22AM]

So will this give you cancer of the wrist?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:29AM]

Agreed, not funny. I died 3 times due to wrist cancer.

[Khav Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:55AM]

I've been dead from wrist cancer for 18 months and I find this comment thread _highly_ offensive.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 6:26PM]

I've died COUNTLESS times due to low ranking.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2009 10:54AM]

As opposed to hand cancer or hip-bone cancer?

[Guybrush Threepwood Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:22AM]

The only thing I don't like about this is talking to someone with your arm right up to your ear, is that how it works?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:21AM]

Hopefully you can use a bluetooth headset.

[NeatOman Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:24AM]

i got the underwear phone... i win, and the blue tooth wife beater

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:36AM]

Can I load java skype on it? and google voice? Will those both work on the bluetooth headset?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:38AM]

It looks .....rather..phoney...er..phunny..er Scotty, are you up there? Time to quit.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:48AM]

link is kaput

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 8:56AM]

Does it shoot out laser beams or poison darts?

Bill Gates (of SPOT fame) looks at this crapgadget and pines for what might have been...


LOL

[bonaqo Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:00AM]

is the clock actually a widget ?

[mrklaw Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:12AM]

It'd be good if you could talk on it by holding your thumb in your ear and talk into your little finger.

[SmokemeaKipper Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:15AM]

Any wearer will of this will be walking in circles.They'll lean into it.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:15AM]

but it's not a cameraphone :(

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:30AM]

Do you not see the little video calling camera at the top right?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:46AM]

Looks very nice :)

Shame I use my phone as my clock

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:49AM]

Watchphone, get one if you ever wanted arm cancer.

[victorstuber Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:53AM]

this phone is still retarted

[Sepirioth Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:27AM]

am i seriously the only one who looked at the pics and read the specs who WOULD use it in public? wear your nerdiness proud dudes, we rule this world anyways, without geeks and nerds technology would be YEARS behind where it is now. But 500 quid is SLIGHTLY retarded

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 12:09PM]

I'm as much a geek as any of you guys, but even I think wearing a watch on my wrist is a really stupid idea.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 12:42PM]

I bought a phone with a clock so that I wouldn't have to wear a watch...

[FlasH Posted Aug 27th 2009 1:08PM]

Luke:

The point is convenience. So that you can do multiple tasks at the same time. It is not a stupid idea to have watches on wrists. If watches on wrists were stupid, then you can easily charge the Swiss and British with coming up with the idea in the first place. LOSER and HATER of Korean companies.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 30th 2009 1:22PM]

Yeah, I meant wearing a phone on my wrist... Sorry... Freudian slip.. (I think)


I feel like a complete and utter prick now.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 1:18PM]

Silly.

[Ryujin Posted Aug 27th 2009 2:45PM]

Let me change the frame and the straps with something a little bit more stylish and with ease and I think this would get a better review. I don't see the problem with having this one with a strong enough receiver while wearing a bt jawbone.

I mean this is obviously for people who don't want a smartphone and just want to carry less shit around.(Wheres the pants with no pockets advertisement with this product.

[jim09 Posted Aug 27th 2009 3:22PM]

What happens when the battery gets hot. Can you sue them if your wrist burned?

[FlasH Posted Aug 27th 2009 5:10PM]

Luke:
LG probably is ahead of you LUKE by eons.
they already calculated the heat capacity of the battery and the heat discharge. Welcome to 2009

[Mr Smiley Posted Aug 27th 2009 5:26PM]

Bionic, Bionic Six! OooooOOoohhh, Yeah, yeah -
Wha - What?!.. Oh sorry, drifted off there for a second..

[Xoy Posted Aug 27th 2009 7:25PM]

So why are there no photos of this phone by a real watch; this thing has been paraded by LG all over the place someone couldnt get a picture of it with a damn normal watch.

I want to see exactly how much bigger this is than a Fossil or Kenneth Cole watch

[Professor Kaos Posted Aug 27th 2009 9:24PM]

It's a WATCH. Why you need an LCD watch is beyond me.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2009 4:01AM]

Well if you fall and get stuck in a ditch you'd certainly be able to call for help. But I don't know, I like the idea of this; beats shoving gigantor sized phones in your pocket. We'll just have to wait and see how this one turns out.
