LG Watchphone

You'd be forgiven for dismissing this James Bond-style watchphone as something that's purely fantasy - but you'd be wrong. LG have launched their LG-GD910 Watchphone exclusively to mobile operator Orange.

Featuring a scratch-resistant touchscreen, built-in speaker, voice recognition, video calling, VGA camera and MP3/ACC player (to listen to the James Bond theme tune of course) - LG's new offering is set to be one of the must-have gadgets this year.

Stocks of the magnificent 3G phone are strictly limited to one per customer and cost a fairly hefty £500 - you can grab yours by getting down to London's Bond Street Station store from Thursday 29th August.
