LG Watch Phone Likely to Launch in August

Remember the LG watch phone, a slim touchscreen gizmo that switches between being a digital watch and a communication device? The phone created quite a stir at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year.

Now reports suggest it is ready to make its debut in U.K. in August. The phone will be exclusive to telecom carrier Orange and could cost £1,000, says T3, a gadgets news and reviews site. The LG watch phone is likely to be priced with a ‘pay as you go scheme,” says the site. No word yet on if the watch phone will ever be available in North America with telecom carrier support.

The LG watch phone has a camera that can take photos and do short videos. It also has 3G and Bluetooth capabilities. But with its quirky design and hefty price tag, we think this device is likely to be in the hands of just a few.
