I don't think that's the point. Functional, reliable and battery-life were probably the aims of the game.

Plus if it's ugly then staff/pickpockets/that guy in A&E for an overdose are less likely to try pinching them.]]>Jan 14th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.tpchealthcare.com/wp-content/themes/tpc-new/images/doctor_newbadge.jpg

'Err.....Hello?'

'Hi, I'm calling from the hospital, and we think we've sewn up some equipment under your incision...'

'Well, that would explain why I'm talking to my abdomen...'

I seriously hope for their sake that this is the comment system at work and not communistic squelching of free speech. I wish we could go back to where the term unbiased actually had meaning to the journalistic community. I was simply referring to the fact that Engadget seems to think we care if this looks pretty, can we not just get a review based on this a functional device and compare it to the devices it is competing with. Clearly as stated it is more for the medical field as the LG watch phone is for the consumer. This competes with a pager, The LG watch phone competes for that elusive designer phone space. That is why I say fail.

So it has to be a necklace, lapel or waist mounted device.

(From original post: 'wearing it as a necklace, as [they] suggest'.)

As far as design goes, I think this actually looks rather better than LG's boxy monsterphone - or at least, it looks smaller, which amounts to the same thing. They haven't provided an actual wrist for size comparison, though, so who knows.

BTW I didn't know NEC and Philips had a joint venture...]]>Jan 14th 2009 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 14th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/nec-m155-messenger-watch-phone-for-healthcare-hospitality-and/Jan 18th 2009 3:48PM
