LG GD910 watch phone

Dick Tracy Watch PhoneAnyone 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 LG GD910rapid 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, Samsung S9110so 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.

Samsung S9110

Samsung S9110LG has already let it rip with the LG GD910 watch phone very recently and though it is a bit expensive, the fact that you can make calls with your watch seems to make it worth. Samsung have decided not to stand back and watch and have released what is known as the thinnest watch phone ever, the Samsung S9110, which is set to be released by the end of the year.

The Samsung S9110 is a small watch phone which has a number of features such as MP3 ringtones, Bluetooth, personal organizer, MMS, SMS, and vibration alert as well. Other messaging options present in the phone include E-mail as well. Making use of a 1.76 inch touchscreen display, this watch phone has nearly all the major functions that you get in a normal phone. The features extend to include speaker phone, voice recognition and a music player.

The Samsung S9110 measures in at a mere 11.98 millimeters. The scratch resistant glass, in addition to the leather wrist belt and the stainless steel metal body make it a truly classical device. Quite unlike those other massive wristwatch phones, the S9110 has a very nice and aesthetically pleasing look. The estimated price of this phone is set to be at 450 euros. This tiny watch phone is capable of operating on 900/1800MHz networks and has an internal memory of 40 MB.

Are you confused with regard to the battery of this phone? It makes use of a 630mAh battery, thereby enabling it to run for a fairly long time. However, Samsung have not released any details regarding the standby time and the talk time of the phone. Some disappointment for UK fans comes in the form of a message from Samsung, which says that they won’t release it there for the forseeable future, but we shouldn’t read too much into this.
