Look, LG, Samsung just totally pwned you with the S9110--supposedly the world's slimmest watch-phone at 11.98mm--by announcing that the wrist watch will be out this month in France for about 450 euros (US$640). The LG GD910 which measures 13.9mm, on the other hand, is due out in the UK only in August. Word from Samsung is that the S9110 won't be available in Asia just yet.

We're sure Samsung don't want us to miss out on the dual-band (900/1800MHz) wrist watch with a 1.76-inch 176 x 220-pixel TFT touchscreen and wireless email syncing capability via Microsoft Outlook. The S9110 also supports Bluetooth 2.1 and will have 40MB of built-in memory, MP3 music player, voice recognition, voice memo, speakerphone, anti-scratch properties, all in a slim profile. To be fair, the slightly thicker LG GD910 comes with 3G video call capabilities and support for 7.2Mbps HSDPA. We have a whole lot of pictures of the Samsung S9110 after the break just to whet your gadget appetite.
