roh2cool writes "If you are a watch freak and also happen to be a fan of ultra rare (and expensive) gadgets, this might just interest you. The LG GD910 watch phone looks like a normal watch – except for the fact that it can double up as your mobile phone when needed. 'It is quite thin at just 13.9mm and packs in 3G and Video Calling capabilities as well. The phone is quite stylish and the front fascia is covered by scratch-proof tempered glass. It comes with a Bluetooth headset so you don’t have to keep talking like David Hasselhoff talked to his super-car KITT in the “Knight Rider” series.'"

Alles over First Pictures of Clamshell LG Chocolate Phone Emerge | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Gizmodo | 2006-08-17 15:31:28
The first pictures of the clamshell version of the LG Chocolate phone—the LG VX8600 for those keeping score at home— have hit the Web. LG is looking to squeeze as much money out its Chocolate line of cellphones as possible and since Americans love the clamshell (more so than any other market, cellphone reps have told me on numerous occasions), LG is only more than happy to oblige.
Looking at these first pictures, which are only just slightly less blurry than the Zapruder film, you can immediately tell that LG is doing away with the whole "red=sexy" motif found in the currently available domestic slider Chocolate. Also of note is the move from a circular, iPod-wannabe directional pad to a rectangular pad, found in overseas versions of the Chocolate.
The clamshell Chocolate by LG is expected to launch later this year on Verizon Wireless. – Nicholas Deleon

Alles over LG Chocolate Phone Reviewed (Verdict: Ham-Handed) | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Gizmodo | 2006-08-03 15:10:19
The Wall Street Journal's Walter Mossberg took a look at the LG Chocolate cellphone offered by Verizon Wireless this week, and one thing's for sure: nobody can call him an LG Chocolate fanboy. The buzz-proof curmudgeon panned the phone up one side and down the other, calling its user interface "ham-handed," adding that it was designed as a music player first and a phone second yet doesn't do either of those tasks very well.
About the only thing the respected reviewer likes about the phone is that it's "handsome." But he goes on to slam its control wheel, "which isn't a wheel at all, just a common five-way navigation pad made to look like an iPod wheel." He goes on to call its touch sensitivity "poor," where no matter how you adjust it, it's either too sensitive are not sensitive enough. He doesn't like the placement of the "end" button, either, nor does he care for the music application itself, which he writes is "full of unwelcome surprises."
Here at the Giz, we're hearing more complaints lately about how appearance has overtaken functionality in popular industrial design, where form often doesn't follow function at all. Sounds like Mossberg found similar problems with the LG Chocolate phone. He concludes, "I do believe that, someday, the merger of the cellphone and the music player will result in a great device for consumers. But the Chocolate isn't it." Wait a week or two, Mr. Mossberg—help is on the way. – Charlie White
