Today Samsung announced the S9110, a touch-based dual-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800MHz watch phone. It measures 11.98mm thick. Samsung attributes its thin profile to "advanced surface mounting technology." The S9110 has a 1.76-inch TFT anti-scratch touch display. Other features of the S9110 include Bluetooth 2.1, an MP3 player, speakerphone, voice memos, voice recognition and support for Outlook email. The S9110 will be available in France later this month for about $640.

i have to admit..thats pretty cool
just had to say that. Thats pretty cool. Wonder if a carrier will ever pick up a watch phone, or if anyone actually buys those things. but it is the coolest watch phone ive seen.

Cool idea, but I don't think it will ever go over here...could be wrong though.
I agree, I think the idea is more James Bondish, using the speaker phone option. I'm sure without the cool live video feed option. Personally I would feel like the biggest dork using one of these on a regular basis. But I wouldn't mind playing with on...

Dosn't matter - no US freq's.
It's bad enough we all have to drive around looking like Borgs with bluetooth headsets. That would look so retarded to have to talk to the back of your hands. Now the shoe phone from 'Get Smart', that would be the bomb.
Help!
Moneypenny, I'm in the 3'rd stall and I ran out of toilet-paper, can you hear me!?! 😎
