As though in some kind of Karmic re-aligning effort, watchphones seem to the be one of the things that mobile phone manufacturers are concentrating their efforts on at the moment. First we had the LG GD910 announced as hitting our shelves next month. And, obscenely expensive as it is, it looks pretty damn lovely. Now Samsung have slipped in there with their own effort, cheekily doing so with a release date that’s even earlier than the LG, and a price tag that’s less than half. Ouch. And the Samsung S9110 still seems like a stonker, with it’s TFT capacitive touchscreen, it’s Bluetooth and Outlook connectivity, and in many other things that this Samsung S9110 review will tell you about.

So, why Karmic, you ask? Well, we don’t think we’re going to be alone in claiming this, but: we haven’t worn a watch in over ten years, and pretty much the sole reason is because of mobile phones. Why, when you can carry a date/time/calendar sporting thing in your pocket, would you then also want to splash out for something to give you date/time (and nothing else) that you then strap to your wrist? Unless you really need those few accumulative seconds you’ll save each day by looking at it… So, after probably hitting the watch market all over the place for the last decade or so, it seems only fair that things like the Samsung S9110 start to bring back some love for the watch, right?

But, what’s that you say? This doesn’t make any difference at all, because the watchmakers still won’t be making any profit? And the mobile phone manufacturers will just be making even more profit.

Ah. Right. Yeah. Good point.

Oh well, sod it: line their pockets, go look at these Samsung S9110 deals. It’s not like they’re going to get any poorer.
