There’s a new watchphone in town and it’s not coming from LG. Made by Kempler & Strauss, the W PhoneWatch is even smaller than LG’s GD910 watchphone.

The device comes with a touchscreen interface, 4GB of storage space, microSD support, music and video players, camera with video recording, Bluetooth support and quad-band GSM. The PhoneWatch is available for $199 without a contract. That’s certainly a great price for an entry-level watchphone.

As you may very well remember, Orange is one of the carriers interested in selling LG’s watch phone, the GD910. And Orange has released pricing details for Europe so you’d better sit down for this! The GD910 is coming in various European markets by the end of the year and it will cost you $1,290 with either a one- or two-year contract. It’s still way too much to pay for a phone but some people would definitely disagree with me. I wonder what the unlocked price is…

Included above is a short demo showcasing the LG GD910 watch phone’s ability to make video calls. As you can see, the video is just a tad bit laggy but the audio seems to come out loud and clear.

I don’t know about you guys, but there’s no doubt in my mind that the LG designers behind the GD910 were using Dick Tracy’s 2-way watch radio as a reference.

Let’s just hope we see this thing hit carriers at a reasonable price because while it’s cool, a high price would make it impossible to justify owning one.

I always thought that if there was one wristphone that could change my mind about the whole idea, it would be LG’s GD910.  But seems like I was wrong as Samsung has now announced the S9110 wristphone, which sounds like a better deal than the yet-to-be released GD910.  The S9110 features a 1.76-inch  262k color touchscreen display, has 40MB of internal memory (no word on expansion), Bluetooth 2.1, speakerphone, an mp3 player, and Outlook email sync.  Sounds like a great deal for a watchphone right? Yeah, it does, but Samsung has gone one more step ahead and squeezed all this into a body that is just 11.98 mm thick, making this, according to the company, the world’s thinnest touchscreen cellphone.  Available in France later this month at a price of €450 (approx. $639).

Remember LG’s watchphone which we showed you a long time ago? Well it seems that LG is ready to offer it for sale in the UK this August. Orange UK is apparently the carrier that has the exclusivity for the GD910 so that’s where you should head to for specific pricing details. Despite being a pretty small cellphone you can expect it to cost at least $1,000 if not more. Other European markets should also start selling the GD910 but we’ll keep you updated.

We have seen quite a few watchfones that have come our way in the recent past, but Neutrano’s Nutec WristFone really takes the cake.  The number of features that are crammed into into its small is a surprise to us and so is the design, which does not seem as outlandish as some of the others we have laid eyes on.  The Nutec GSM WristFone has a touchscreen display, handwriting recognition, a 1.3-megapixel camera, voice recorder, media player, Bluetooth, FM radio, a SD card slot, and up to 4 hours of talktime.

Look for it to land with a choice of stainless steel or leather straps this June 15th for $399.

Even watchphone enthusiasts might want to shy away from the WF820 if they ever lay their eyes on its bulky size and awkward-looking design. While the CECT watchphone settled for a keypad on the strap, QKfone’s WF820 added the buttons around its 1.3-inch touchscreen TFT display, making it look like a restraint more than a watch or a phone. But other than that, you get what is expected of a watchphone from China including Bluetooth, T-Flash memory support, media player, FM radio, and GPRS support. I don’t see a price tag but I don’t see you being overly excited about it either. Read on for some more pictures…
