LG’s Watch Phone – Yours For Just $2,299

Gizmodo AU

What is the price of new technology? Well, if it’s the kind of new technology that lets you pretend you’re an old-school comic character named Dick Tracey and talk into your watch, then it’s pretty expensive. $2,299 expensive, to be exact.

Granted, the LG GD910 watch phone is a lot more sophisticated than Warren Beatty ever imagined it to be, with 3G, text to speech, a 1.43-inch touchscreen and a front camera for video calling. But still, $2,300 is a lot of coin. Even more when you recall the $US1,270 asking price overseas.

but for some of us, money is no object for what is ultimately a pretty awesome gadget. And for those people, you can grab the LG watchphone from either the T-Life flagship stores in Sydney or Melbourne, or the Optus ‘yes’ shop on George street in Sydney.

    How about Optus and the other carriers stop dicking around and start getting some new android, nokia, etc. phones over our way. Does anyone else think there have been no new decent phone introduced in australia for a long time?
