Coming to wrists next month
The GD910 wristphone will be released across Europe next month, LG has announced.
LG's GD910 watchphone
Available, as expected, through network operator Orange, the watch-cum-phone’s price will vary from region to region. But it’s previously been speculated that the device will cost about £1000 ($1458/€1140).
The GD910 has an integrated camera which lets its wearer make video calls over a 3G connection of up to 7.3Mb/s.
It also features voice recognition, text-to-speech functionality, Bluetooth, an MP3 player and 1.4in touch-sensitive screen. ®

You can also take photos of your ear while making a call.

If it includes bluetooth then you wouldn't need to put your wrist against your ear. I've been waiting for one of these since Dick Tracy...
The shopping channels got there first
Tron Direct have been trying to flog a mobile watch on a Sky shopping channel for ages...

Of course whilst the idea of a watchphone sounds awesome on paper, when you actually put it into practice and find yourself having to walk around with your wrist against your ear to answer calls, then it all goes wrong.
How much?
I think I'll forgo the 3G, save myself 850 notes and get one of these:
