The other day we saw a mobile phone watch that you could almost be comfortable wearing out in public. Well, here’s another one, although whether this particular model passes that “seen in public test” we’ll leave up to you.
It’s a tri-band GSM phone with a 1.3-inch, 128 x 160 screen, Bluetooth, built-in camera, MP3 playback, voice recording, 6 hours talk time and up to 150 standby. It even comes with a stylus for easy navigation, and will cost the bargain price of $399.
I don’t want to hate this product too much – as a child I always longed for a watch I could use to speak to my friends covertly without my parents knowing. But somehow, somewhere between childhood and becoming an adult, that dream died.
Hit the jump for a full-feature list, which just strikes me as overkill.
Verizon and AT&T have both gone on record saying they do not record SMS communications. The privacy debate is one that, understandably, gets emotions stirred, but you can all rest a little easy knowing the official stances of two of the major cellular networks.
AU: Sure, it’s the US networks mentioned here, but this is an issue we should be carefully considering in our own backyard too.
