Orange has unveiled the worlds first Touchscreen Watch Phone. The LG Touchscreen Watch Phone goes on sale in August and is one of several innovative future phones that Orange will be launching over the next 18 months. Orange says the phones have been chosen specifically for their unique digital lifestyle benefits that allow users to make the most from the latest shifts in modern technology.
The device will be available from Orange for a limited time period at what Orange describes as an exclusive price point, on either Orange pay as you go or SIM-only. It comes with a Bluetooth headset (for those who dont want to talk to their watch, Bond-style), in-built speaker and a full touch-screen interface, as well as 3G+ and video-calling capabilities.
The Watch Phone is the must-have gadget of 2009, says Orange UK CEO, Tom Alexander. Our ambition is to become the best loved communications brand in the UK, and the destination brand of choice for high-end mobile users in the market. To help us achieve this, we have secured some of the most original and innovative devices available. The Watch Phone is the first of these devices, all focused on bringing a 21st-century experience to our 21st century customers.”
