Mobile world seems to be steadily filling up with watch phones these days. While the LG GD910 watch phone is soon coming to Europe next month, Samsung is busy promoting its own S9110 device (did you notice the strange similarity in the numbers, by any chance?). The S9110, which Samsung claims is the slimmest watch phone so far, is only 11.98mm thick. The LG GD910 is 13.9mm thick.
The Samsung S9110, which the company introduced at a press release, comes with GSM dualband network, 1.76” touchscreen display, Bluetooth and speakerphone. This device, though, lacks 3G. The S9110 will retail at about 450 EUR, which is about $639. The S9110 will be introduced in France this month.

NTT DOCOMO has officially announced at a press conference that it is developing the SOLAR HYBRID, which is a solar-powered and water-resistant cell phone. This device will be available for sales at all Japanese DOCOMO channels in September this year. The SOLAR HYBRID can be charged both with electrical power as well as by sunlight. Even with all the battery power drained out, the phone needs only ten minutes of being under the sun to provide about a minute of talktime.
Other specs of the device include an 8MP camera, which can take clear photos even in dim lighting. The SOLAR HYBRID can be immersed for up to 30 minutes in up to one meter of water, so this can be carried around practically anywhere. This device will be shown off at the DOCOMO Wireless Japan 2009, which will take place in Tokyo from July 22 to 24.
