Lucky Brits – already enjoying a crash in their currency alongside their truly terrible weather – are to be further shafted by Orange and LG. The mobile carrier has, according to Mobile Today, agreed to sell LGs watch phone for a staggering £1000, or around $1450. This means we’ll have to reclassify the Dick Tracey Special into our prestigious "Bling" category.

Oddly, the article goes on to say that "it will cost around £500 with an additional minimum line rental of £40 per month."

So which is it? £500 or £1000? To be honest, it makes little difference. Both are far too high. Look at the fuss about the iPhone, a device which cost $600 at launch, but which did a lot more than this wristwatch telephone. It’s not even flashy enough to attract the more moronic consumers, those who might drop $10,000 on a diamond studded collar for their chihuahua.

In fact, it looks a lot more like the kind of regular wristwatch our own hair-model and review guru Danny Dumas might buy. Our prediction? A solid gold, Swarowski-coated FAIL.

Will you buy a watch phone that cost so much? You must agree that most people will turn to cheap watch cell phone.
