CECT Wrist watch phone is borderline wearable

by Darren Murph posted May 22nd 2008 at 3:55AM

Generally speaking, watch phones are rarely useful. Not so much because of lackluster hardware or incompatible drivers, but due to the fact that no one with any dignity will ever be caught wearing one. The CECT Wrist, however, actually isn't a ghastly looking device at all, and although it's far from being a Sea-Dweller, we can't help but give props for the semi-stylish design. Specs wise, the unit boasts GSM connectivity, a 1.3-inch color LCD, FM radio tuner, multimedia player, 1.3-megapixel camera, handsfree support (Bluetooth) and a battery good for 150 minutes of continuous yappin'. Not too terribly shabby for £150.13 ($293), wouldn't you agree?

I like the design is good and no too shabby, but a touch screen, and a Micro SD card slot is a deal breaker for me. Then I'll think about purchasing one for no more than $300.

Has anyone in the Engadget reader world ever had a watch phone? I've been lusting for one since before they existed. They just make the most sense, especially if waterproof - it's always on your wrist, small, no taking it in or out of pockets, could deliver a tactile alert instead of audio, etc etc etc. Paired with a bluetooth earpiece and voice commands, all you really lack is screen real estate, which I'm sure will be solved at some point by eyepieces or retinal projection. The future is an always-on, integrated communication system with small, unobtrusive pieces secured to the necessary parts of your body. Short of implants, the wrist is the most ideal location to secure the system's main unit.

But I don't know anyone who has ever used one. Does anyone use one as their everyday phone? Tell us about it. I want to hear from Watch Phone Guy.
