LG GD910 watch phone
Anyone who was ever a fan of Dick Tracy when they were younger will remember wanting to own a watch phone. Talking to your wrist seemed like the stuff of sci-fi fantasy, even just a few years ago. The potential popularity of such a device was realised early on in the history of mobile phones with many watch phones making their way onto the market that, quite frankly, failed to impress. They were always lacking a certain something and in many cases just simply didn't work well at all, either as a watch or a phone.
Yet mobile phone manufacturers are still persisting with the idea. LG and Samsung both have their own watch phones set for release and neither company is deterred by the less than satisfactory reception received by earlier devices. What is propping up their confidence? Principally the fact that mobile technology has advanced at such a 
rapid pace in just the last few years that these companies now have the ability and knowhow to actually produce the watch phones that all those young boys dreamed about many years ago.
There are three main technological areas that really make this new wave of watch phones more appetising. Touch screen technology combined with high speed 3G data connections and the advances in video calling mean that these watch phones can now fit into the fantasy that once surrounded them. As noted, LG and Samsung are leading the way with the new wave of watch phones and the initial offerings from both companies are actually very similar in technological prowess. If one were to choose however, the LG GD910 would probably come out tops.
Both watch phones make use of the best capacitive technology in their touch sensitive screens that offers much greater sensitivity, 
so you will not need to be stabbing your arm with your fingers to get the thing to work. Both handsets (armsets?) come with music players and can be used in conjunction with Bluetooth headsets for more discretion, and both watches feature a pretty similar interface resolution. Where the LG GD910 clearly stands out however, is its inclusion of HSDPA connectivity and greater internal memory (2GB compared to the Samsung S9110's 40MB). Besides which, the LG watch phone just looks a lot more like that childhood fantasy you may have once held. Or not. Maybe you hated Dick Tracy, or didn't know who he was, but in either case you will surely find much fun to be had with owning a watch phone and with the added bonus that you will never again have to worry about losing your phone.
