Nowadays manufacturers try to create and develop all sort of strange devices in order increase their selling numbers. These products are, however, not always accepted as necessary devices for everyday use. In this category we could include the wrist watches. Sure, they look great, so great you wish you could even be beamed on the Enterprise once you've engaged a call through it. But is it really necessary? Is your life easier now with a wrist watch? If yes, how did the wrist watches improve the dynamic of your life? Every answer you might give to the above questions still can't include the new watch mobile phones in the "necessary for everyday use" category. You can find on the market at least two watch phones, one offered by Samsung, and one offered by LG. The first model is the cheaper version of the LG GD 910.
It offers less features, a great design, and smaller price tag. However let's see what the high end watch phone has to offer. The LG GD 910 is a wristwatch mobile phone with great potential. By the interest manufacturers give this type of phone, we just might expect to see in the near future a total separation between mobile phone, and in the far future an annexation of this two phone types.
The first major breakthrough will happen in about five years. The candy bar touch screen phones will probably replace the nowadays net books bringing great features in a single device. The other category will be the small portable touch screen enabled wrist watch mobile phones. This category will also bring good features, but will not be so technological advanced. By having a wrist watch you will also own a digital camera and, probably by then, an iPod (becoming more attractive to population because of the diminished price tags).
In about 10 to 12 years, this to category phones will be combined, offering one single type of phone, a wrist watch touch screen phone with a flexible display. Therefore, you should be able to use it in full form, or just in watch form. Until then we will have to indulge ourselves with the LG GD 910. The first thing you will notice is the price tag, to high for such a small device. LG GD 910 has quite a lot main disadvantages, including, its large dimensions, no memory card slot onboard, not so great display, no FM radio, and a slow user interface. If it's one thing you can bet GD 910 has, is its great design.
With a height of 49 mm, wide of 39 mm, deep of 13.8 mm, the GD 910 weight about 84 g. Too much for a device you are going to carry around your wrist. However, if you enjoy watches with these dimensions, you will have no problems with LG GD 910. The leather strap brings an excellent felling and provides even a better look for this phone. The actual display is surrounded by an aluminum case making GD 910 very stylish.
LG included in GD 910 a TFT capacitive touch screen, up to 256000 colors, with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and a widescreen diagonal of 1.43 inches. You will need some time to get used to use the GD 910 touch screen, but once you will get the wider picture you will actually enjoy the full process of using it. Above the display you get an earpiece and the VGA camera used for video calling. LG really worked on the touch screen visibility under direct day broad light. You will not have any problems in terms of visibility with the GD 910. On the right side of the GD 910 you can find three buttons, a call key, an end call key, and clear or back button. Overall, the general built of the GD 910 is flawless.
No flex, no squeaks, no nothing, just a solid design. The user interface is intuitive; you should be able to use it without any problems. The only actual problem is the speed of the user interface (it is sort of slow, but then again do remember that the processor used is extremely small and needs time to process a high end interface, especially for a touch screen display). As special features offered in the GD 910, you have the water jet resistant (IPX4 certified, it is not waterproof, only water jet resistant, huge difference, be careful), text to speck capabilities, organizer, T9, and a music player.
The LG GD 910 runs in 2G network (GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) and in 3G network (HSDPA 2100). The connectivity is ensured by the Class 10 (with the common by now 4+1 / 3+2 slots) GPRS with a speed between 32 Kb per second to 48 Kb per second, Class 10 EDGE up to 236.8 Kb per second, HSDPA with a speed up to 7.2 MB per second, and Bluetooth version 2.0 with A2DP profile. You get a good organizer and a great calendar to use, but the messaging function is tricky to use. It is not about getting used to the input method, it is just difficult and also annoying, especially when you have to write a not so short message, or email.
The standard battery Lithium Ion used in the GD 910 will provide about 247 hours of standby time. However, a major drawback is the small talk time offered by GD 910, only 2 hours. If you want to be a trendsetter then you should purchase a wrist watch. It is certainly unique and offers a great user experience. However, if you have a job that requires full communication with the office, you should consider having a regular business phone at hand, and just use the GD 910 for your personal life and not for businesses. Overall, it is all about if you want to buy it and if you can afford it. For the time being, LG GD 910 is a statement regarding your social status, and that's about it.
