4 Rivals To The LG GD910 Watch Phone

The LG GD910 is set to become the first mainstream watch phone to be released in the UK when it goes on sale sometimes during September.

There are a number of wrist phones that have been announced or are already on the market although none of them offer as many features as the GD910 or top its high price.

The Samsung S9110 was set to be launched by the end of July but we have yet to hear from it. Samsung billed it as the thinnest watch phone ever and with a tag price of around £400, undercutting the GD910's price.

The S9110 comes with a touchscreen, Outlook email sync capabilities, voice recognition and a stainless steel body. 

It is not the first time that Samsung has presented a watch phone. Back in 2003, it was supposed to launch another one with a tiny screen and weighing only 80g.

Unfortunately, Samsung cancelled it altogether, probably because it was ahead of its time - back then, it already featured an OLED screen albeit one with 256 colours.

Iwantoneofthose is also selling a watchphone called the sWap phone which apparently got rave reviews at the gadget show in Birmingham. It has a 1.5-inch screen, 512MB onboard memory, a microSD card reader and comes with a hands free kit and a Bluetooth handset.
