Orange have announced that the LG Watchphone (LG-GD910) will go on sale next week. The first devices will be available from 09:00am on Thursday 27th August at the Orange shop, Bond Street Station, Central London.
BUT!! It will only be on sale for a limited time (which has not been specified) and will work on a ‘first come first serve’ basis. The LG Watchphone will be priced at £500 for those lucky enough to afford it and of course get their hands on it!
LG Watchphone (LG-GD910) – Exclusive to Orange
Available on a first-come-first-serve basis, and one device per customer to those who arrive in person at the store – the handmade 3G+ watchphone will guarantee those fortunate enough to purchase one that they’ll turn heads on the high street. The device’s slick scratch resistant touch-screen interface makes writing text messages easy, while an in-built speaker and MP3/AAC player lets you listen to the Essential James Bond theme album when you’re imprisoned in a fake volcano or battling with Jaws.
To make a voice or video call – in true 22nd Century fashion – all you have to do is ask it nicely. The combination of voice activated command, VGA camera and Bluetooth technology mean you’ll never have to raise a finger to make a call again… just turn your wrist and talk away. The handmade timepiece is designed with the image conscious in mind too and features eight different watch faces – one to suit your every mood or crime-fighting outfit.
Francois Mahieu, Director of Devices, Orange UK said: “The LG Touchscreen Watchphone is one of several ‘future phones’ we’re bringing to UK consumers this year. Being handmade, the device really is highly original and exclusively limited – so you’ll be the envy of all your friends if you’re fortunate enough to get your hands on one.”
A limited number of the devices will also be made available from mid-September via the Orange online shop. For those wishing to register their interest, please visit www.orange.co.uk/watchphone.

By now Google Android was making us yawn: capacitive display but no multi-touch? Come on! But when we saw this one, our jaw dropped to the floor and stayed there…
Wow, it looks Google has found a way to provide unique selling points (USPs) to Android powered smartphones: the Listen app (and service!) is available only for Android:

The next version of the Blackberry operating system was leaked several weeks ago, and has spread like wild fire. Exact specifications have been difficult to find, but those who have used it are reassured by the new and improved Blackberry experience.
The new OS is expected to be released with new devices this fall and holiday season, including the Storm 2 9550 and the rumored Bold 9700. The real upgrade will probably be available for all Blackberry users at the same time or shortly after these releases.
The Palm Eos is basically a lower-cost version of the webOS Palm Pre, a device that Palm touts to have an organic feeling and an always-connected experience, boasting multi-tasking, notifications, and gestures in a different user interface. After rumors that the Eos would be delayed because of slow Pre sales, we’re learning that those rumors across the blogosphere may not be accurate and the Pre will still be ready for volume shipments to AT&T later this year.

Following my post a few days ago about the HTC Leo and HTC Whitestone rumours and leaked information Engadget are now reporting that both handsets have received FCC approval which more or less dispels any doubts that we may have had about these handsets.
The HTC Leo is expected to have a Snapdragon 1Ghz CPU , 4.3" 480×800 capacitive touch-screen, 512MB ROM and 320MB RAM, 8mp camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, 3. 5mm Headphone Jack, G-Sensor, motion sensor and light sensor. While the HTC Whitestone specification is, at the moment, a little more sketchy but we’ve heard: Windows Mobile 6.1 (Not 6.5??), 3.6 inch WVGA display, 5MP camera, 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM and a 528Mhz Qualcomm 7600 processor.
