The phone, which weighs under 80 grams including battery and measures just 37.8 x 64 x 17.7 mm. The phone supports WAP 1.2, Bluetooth and Speakerphone technologies.  

That is friggin massive (for a Watch) has anyone got a wrist that big:?:

very nice---how do you speak to people--hands free kit?

I'm guessing if they position the speaker and mic properly, you'd just hold your arm up to your ear as if you were holding a normal phone

You'd look an utter twit tho, talking away to your arm

if you believe those battery expectations, you need your head seeing to!

as for communicating with it, I imagine a hands free kit (ironic... kinda) if not, I remember talk a few years ago about using vibrations through your hand for a wrist phone, essentially you stick you finger in your ear to hear, and there would be a mic on the strap of the watch. If they have realised this technology, I will be VERY impressed

If you look at my quote above it does say "Speakerphone" so i guess you just talk into it as though you were looking at the time on a normal watch (in theory)

I don't understand what the point of wearing it on your wrist is? Rather than on your belt, for example? If you're going to use a headset anyway???

And Knight Rider was a gleam in his father's eye when Dick Tracy was using a watch-phone... with Video!

How would you see the screen if it was on your belt?

It's difficult to do more than glance at your wrist... particularly with that monster on it! :)

Granted, looking at a screen has its finer moments... Altho I want a fully voice-enabled interface myself.

Still, why can't we have bluetooth screens? THAT might fit much better on a watch than the whole kit&kiboodle, neh?
