Finally, Dick Tracy’s wrist phone has arrived

Today, LG Electronics officially revealed its new wrist phone, the LG-GD910. It features 3G compatibility, touch screen interface and video calling.  You can text with it and use blue tooth devices. Just don’t expect to do a lot of heavy viewing  on this device, which features a rather small (1.43-inch) screen. This is actually an upgrade of a similar phone announced last year at the Consumer Electronics  Show in Las Vegas. But the  company says there  will be one significant difference - this one will actually go on sale. It should be available sometime later this year, though sadly for us, it looks like it will only be availabe in Europe initially.

The company also announced that is has created several recycling programs for its programs. The company will offer postage-paid return envelopes to help consumers dispose of unwanted cell phones, etc.
