Orange reveales this week that it will be the exclusive carrier of the eagerly anticipated wristwatch phone, the LG GD910, when it it is released to the public in August this year, complete with capactive touchscreen and integrated video calling.
The GD910 comes with integrated Bluetooth for use with a hands-free headset and also 3G UMTS connectivity. You can also use a built in speaker to activate the speaker phone option and all of this for the not inconsiderable cost of around £1000. This hefty price tag could however be due to the interesting fact that Orange are releasing this “phone” on PAYG tarriffs.

There are fears that a proposed mobile phone directory service which goes live next week will infring upon the privacy of mobile phone owners throughout the UK. The service is said to be able to locate any one of the country’s 42 million mobile phone numbers for a charge of £1 at 118800.co.uk. Users can also call the service, much like a normal directory enquiries service, and ask to be connected to the mobile phone of a chosen person, however, the service first calls that mobile and asks the owner permission before the call is connected.
All of the information held on the system has been acquired from market research, a popular practice in the telecoms and indeed other industries whereby personal details of consumers can be bought and used by third parties for their own purposes.
It is possible to opt out of the service if you do not wish your number to be included on the service but to do so you must contact the service and inform them of your desire to be excluded. Of course, you will be charged your standard network rate for the privilege of asking to have your privacy respected.
Apparently the service is due to go live on 18th June. For a more detailed report click here.
