?? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with how it looks.
Thats what he said
he was generalizing the other freak watch phones
There is nothing right with piece of plastic that looks like "Made in China, paid $10 for it" which costs $300.
watch is not made by cect... it is the D287i watch and is only $235 here: http://www.chinagrabber.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1567&HS=1
To all of you saying this isnt made by cect, you are correct, however the other suggestions are also incorrect, it you read engadget regularly (as i would expect its contributors to do to be honest) you would know that this is nothing more than a knock off of Van Der Led's WM2 model as featured on this very site in a piece by Thomas Ricker (http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/09/van-der-leds-wm2-cellphone-is-slayer-approved/) in fact, the digitalrise knockoff even uses van der led's original product renderings!
.... and yea..... i want one (of the real ones) hahahaha!
i got the D287i and and pretty happy with it.
You can get it for $185.00 with free worldwide shipping here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13058~r.94125401
Not too bad at all! Especially compared to them disgusting pale green ones i have seen before.
@hollie - which pale greens have you seen b4... sound like you work for dx... since there is a good possiblility you do, i bough two phones from dealextreme and the screen went blank on one and the other one was not triband so could not use in the USA... dx did nothing to assist in return so no i am out $300+
Nope, i don't work for Dx, you should know they don't have to advertise their website i just thought it would be nice to give people a cheap source for them.
Not my fault (or theirs; if you where too stupid to check if the phone was tri-band before you got it and if you want that refund you probably didn't follow their instructions, they have refunded me for things as little as a dollar when needed, just just have to follow their instructions.)
okay, well lets get this straight - the are good for selling cheap $1-2 gadgets... but NOT expensive $200 cell phones ....
"looking at the number keyboard watch phone,I bet you are thrill now. so why are you still wait?it is action time."
Is nice!
Dick Tracey would be proud
and what about 007?
For the Friggin love of GOd, how the hell am I supposed to text.
OKay,okay I know this is for all you "Get Smart" series lovers
but if thats the case wheres my shoe phone, necktie,belt and hankerchief phone and most importantly wheres my Pistol phone?
'importantly wheres my Pistol phone?'
Unfortunatley, Jimmy was rather annoyed when his wife didnt text him back, luckily his phone was a pistol, so he went round and killed her.
The lesson, just dont mix guns and phones.
This is borderline wearable if you're a complete d-bag.
And by "d-bag", I hope you mean "hopelessly lovable overweight nerd".
"Hold on a sec, gotta answer my watch."
Just doesn't sound right.
I think you would look a twunt when answering it
Which is why it's good this thing has bluetooth handsfree support :)
Still Better than "Get Smart" having a shoe for a phone...(still cool though)
Well if only this was invented 7 years ago when cellphones were a pain to carry around. I'm serious. It would be neat though if there was a toned-down classy version of this watch-phone.
Regardless, I do not see any internet browsing in the future of watch phones (screen will always be too small). And therefore, I do not see any future for watch phones.
"screen will always be too small"
Not necessarily. Eventually these devices might sport a reasonably sized flexible OLED or eInk display.
i personally cant wait for the contact lens cinema.
0oo and a pizza that looks down on you for wanting it.
You lack fantasy mate.
Unforgivable for a full blooded geek.
It could be supplied with a foldable screen or maybe an hologram monitor or 3d glasses and maybe a virtual keyboard if a rollable one would be too encoumbering, (all wireless of course).
Then if the price would still be the same I may consider buying it.
Maybe.
After reading these comments, I feel disappointed with myself for wanting one.
=(
Wear this, and people are gonna look at you and say "What a dork, look at that strange, yet pricey looking, and now that I think of it admittedly futuristic, stylish watch that's actually an FM radio, a camera, and a bluetooth-equipped phone at the same time.... SUCH a dork! I oughta hammer him in the teeth... and steal his watch! That'll show him!"
not sure about what gad get is talking about.. alot of people i know want one...
here is a more sytlish watch with "bling" lol ... http://www.wholesaleg8.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1106 it slim as well with out the keypad... one good thing about keypad i suppose is that if the touch screen goes out u have a backup...
Eww.
yes, it's truly hideous!
Clearly designed for rectangular wrists, too.
You want to see something that Looks MUCH BETTER!
Than Look at this
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12276
Or this:
http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.511~search.wrist
Warning: I also bought several items from DX that were either not as described or broke. They would not repair / exchange so i lost out of a good chunk of change since paypal ruled in their favor. i do not recommend.
I can see it now... Holding your cup of coffee, reading the morning paper... and the watchphone starts to ring... but of course it's set to silent for the night... so it starts to vibrate... ARG...DOH!!!! A very hot lap in the morning!
A what?!
I don't see the connection, sorry.
haha,,, it starts vibrating so hard that if makes you spill your coffee...
I know. I was just playing dumb for fun. :)
Dude, I found this sweet one or I think so. It has a pretty decent sized screen at 1.8". lol But only 128mb internal... http://www.lightinthebox.com/Q007-Watch-Cell-Phone-With-Bluetooth---Camera---Black-SZR010_p20829.html
What iPhone killer? I don't think so. More suitable as a Treo killer.
"Friends who are keen on the scientific film will not forget the watch phone which you can talk with the bluetooth in the future.May be we can realize this dream soon.but you never think about it is really stands out in front of us with the magic appearance.looking at the number keyboard watch phone,I bet you are thrill now. so why are you still wait?it is action time." :)
I want but the price, plus gas.....I'll pass..
FOR NOW!!!!
13.0 lacpixel? lol

quite a few imgs
btw: don't buy! lol
Does it only to GPRS? Not even EDGE?
(not for the watch itself, for tethering ... so, also, does its bluetooth do DUN? DUN that works with a Nokia N810?)
I could see using it as a tethering gateway for my tablet... or for a MID... but only if it's faster than just GPRS.
Oh, and, how do you charge it? Could you conceivably charge it while wearing it? Or is the power plug somewhere that you have to remove it in order to do so?
seriously a camera...just think about it
nice watch .....but what its actual name and model any 1 know abt that ???
its name is V2 watch phone which looks realy good and its available
on
http://sntradersonline.com/phone_details.php?product_id=snp836
even in detal spec and all the available features i also place an order and waiting for it
A picture ON a wrist would be nice. I think it looks nice. I'm wearing my Polar F55 (heart rate monitor) watch right now. The kids I teach all thought it was some cool fancy watch - which it is, but it's pretty bulky...
I'm not up on all the mobile phone tech chatter, so I couldn't tell if this thing would even work with Verizon anyway.
Wow! This watch does everything but tell the time!
According to the site it can do that too. ;)
well rite now that wrist watch is available in 2 diff frequency
GSM 900/ 1800/ 1900 MHz
or
GSM 850/ 1800/ 1900 MHz
so now u can c which will work with ur opreater
Appart from this V2 watch phone there are tow more watch phone which are available in the market according to me
CECT M800 Mobile Watch
http://www.sntradersonline.com/phone_details.php?product_id=snp741
Hyundai W100 Triband Touch Screen Phone
http://www.sntradersonline.com/phone_details.php?product_id=snp723
but the only diff is they are lake of keypad. so now its ur choice :)
I highly suggest none of you buy the "V2 Watch Phone" I was stupid enough to buy one of these and it does not work as Advertised. If your provider uses the 850 band in your area YOU WILL RECEIVE NO SIGNAL.
I am very dissapointed with the suppliers. I paid them about 4 weeks ago and still waiting with no positive response from them. I wouldnt recommend you buy anything from this company (SpecialPhones)
I also suggest noone buy this fake crap. I was dumb enough to order one from www.cect.se and what I got is not at all what is advertised. For example the display they used on their web page must be photoshopped because the real one is not nearly as stylish.
Also it has only VGA camera and I have to charge it virtually every day. Crap.. stay far away from it and the CECT company.
