Looks like Samsung is going to beat LG to the punch with the release of its S9110 watch phone due to hit stores before the rival LG GD910 – in France anyway. Aimed at Dick Tracy fans and gadget lovers alike the S9110 even manages to squeeze a few more features into its diminutive body, including a larger 1.76-inch touchscreen (to the GD910’s 1.43-inch), Bluetooth 2.1 and Outlook email sync.

Like the LG GD910, the Samsung offering also packs an MP3 player, speakerphone, and voice recognition. The watch phone also supports 900/1800MHz, is powered by a 630mAh battery, and has 40MB of internal memory - so you probably won’t have enough room for your entire music library. The 176 x 220 pixel, 262k color TFT TSP display is protected behind scratch-proof glass and the stainless steel body measures just 57.5 x 41.1 x 11.98mm and weighs 91g.

The Samsung S9110 is set to hit shelves in France this month for around EUR€450 (approx. USD$639 at time of publication), a month ahead of the LG GD910. No word on wider availability as yet.

Well i think this phone is going to be a flop as it will be a hassel to use speacially for business people and youngsters. But have u guys seen NS08 i think this upcoming phone will left all phones behind and every one will love it . Check this video out. http://www.domesticutilities.com/pmg.htm

Gerard is right.

And what's more is that they're better and cheaper than what we're about to be spoon-fed by the major companies. Handsets only for less than £100. Have a look for the w600 watch phone. Neat.

It certainly deserved a mention on Gizmag before his Samsung one...

Not quite. LG just launched its Watchphone last week in the UK. According to credible sources, that was the first watch-style phone released into market anywhere in the world this year.

Has someone got this lovely watch phone yet? I want to know more about this phone from a real user. Such as its battery durability, touch screen sensitivity, sound effects, etc.
