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.
