We got some hands-on (okay, wrists-on) time with the watch phone, and it's surprisingly usable. It starts out with a transflective time-and-date display. You can turn it into an analog clock or a world clock by swiping lightly across the capacitive touchscreen. The touchscreen responds well to light touches and gestures, and it's very precise. That's a major saving grace when you turn to the dial pad. The dial pad is very small, but surprisingly accurate to tap on.

The phone also has an MP3 player, calculator, and stopwatch. You can talk into the phone, even having conversations while you're holding your wrist by your side; it's got a loud if tinny speakerphone and LG's new DSE noise cancellation to filter out your voice from background noise, company reps said.

Like all watch phones, this is a pretty manly device. It's unabashedly bulky, and unabashedly chrome, and I think it's pretty much for guys only. But it works surprisingly well. More photos after the jump.
