Get a real nerdy watch, not a wrist phone

Probably I am the only who thinks this way but the LG Wrist Watch Phone is totally retarded, although cool. Retarded because imagine being in a restaurant and speaking to your watch. WTF! Unless you’re Dick Tracey the watch/phone will make you look like a retard. I had the awesomest watches, even a Swatch The Beep but I do not get the LG Wrist Watch Phone hype. Especially not if the rumored 1000GBP become reality. If you want something really cool and *spy alike*, get this multimedia watch with MP3 player, camera, external amplifier, 1.8″ inch color screen and 4GB data storage.

I think they are rather frightening though, but who am I. Now they have been made immortal in a but-ugly fluorescent green netbook (rebranded version of the Konjinsha ML6KL12F, complete with Atom 1.6Ghz CPU, Windows XP Home SP3, 1GB RAM, TV tuner, 160GB HDD and all the other usual specs).
