Weve been tracking LGs G910 pretty closely since it was announced late last year, because as you can clearly see its a videophone in a watch and if that concept doesnt get your gadget senses tingling youre probably dead inside. But, we were somewhat afraid when early reports indicated that the couture-phones exclusive partner in Europe, Orange, was going to be engaging in a bit of price gouging, selling the thing at a whopping £1,000 / €1,144 (about $1,500 at the time -- now well over $1,600 thanks to our flimsy currency). The official price has finally been confirmed, and its an ever so slightly more palatable figure of €899 ($1,290) when signing up for a 12 or 24 month contract. Thats still too rich for our blood, or wrists, but hopefully you fabulously wealthy commenters will give us some real-world impressions free of marketing inanity.
