The Watch Phone's SIM card slot is at the back of the device, according to LG's demonstrator on the Mobile World Congress show floor. However, LG would not let ZDNet UK see or photograph the back, saying that more information would be "revealed" in the third quarter of this year. The company would also not allow any filming of the device's video-call functionality, beyond the single demonstration that took place between Ahn and Ballmer.
Precise pricing and availability details are yet to be announced. LG has said that the Watch Phone will arrive in the second half of 2009, with mobile operator Orange distributing it in Europe.
Talkback
Someone's been watching too much 70's science fiction.
I thought that borg-like bluetooth headphones were bad enough. Should I ever meet someone wearing one of these - or worse, using it - I'd feel actutely, horrifyingly embarrassed for them.
Valad point filthylooker, but to be honest I don't think they is any getting away from looking like a complete twonk using this stuff as it gets smaller, we've already had the funny stairs & looks when walking down the street talking to our selfs.
Maybe we should just start wearing tight fitting cloths and tuck our trouser's into our socks & bellowing Captains log star date.....
Beam me up snotty.
