Watch phone with numeric pad

John Chan | May 21, 2008

About a month back, Mike Yamamoto blogged about the WM2 watch phone with a numeric keypad which retails for about US$470. Because we are Asian and in general, more frugal (aka cheapskate), the CECT Wrist from SpecialPhones.eu, at US$290, caught our attention.

Other features of this gadget include a 1.3-inch touchscreen display, FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity. Though US$180 cheaper than the Netherlands-based site which Mike featured, it's still a little expensive given it's more a novelty than something for practical use. Also note that not all the specifications are similar. For example, the CECT Wrist has a tri-band GSM radio while the WM2 has a quad-band one.

Though dialing has been made easier, we also have to remind you that talking into your wrist still makes you look like an idiot. So unless you are wearing a yellow fedora and trench coat like Dick Tracy, use the bundled Bluetooth headset.
