WELCOME TO CELL ACCESS VIA YOUR WRIST

A few moments ago, LG officially announced their LG watch phone.  As a girl who is accused of being unable to let go of her phone in any situation, the watch phone presents an interesting solution.  To be fair, I live in New York City where the noise on NYC streets is unbearable on a good day.  If I don’t hear the ring over the din of the chaos or feel the vibration through my heavy wool coat, I could miss that next critical call.  Chuck Bass sighting on 13^th and Avenue A?  Yah, missed call.  And yes, I live in fear of this particular crisis.

The LG GD910 presents cell phone with Bluetooth capability at wrist level.  The device streamlines phone usage loaded simply with three buttons.  After viewing Engadget’s video demo from last year (and yes the phone was at CES ’08 as a prototype), usage seems fairly simple.  And unlike most other phones I know of (cough, mine, cough cough), this one is water resistant.  So if you find yourself in the crazy shitestorm of a weather pattern running across the northeast or northwest, no problem.  Phone on my friends.

Production to start late 2009.
