Don't you wear your watch on your left wrist?

Calling Dick Tracy!

One has to wonder if it is healthy to wear a mobile on a body all the time.

That is a cool piece of kit. Certainly the future of mobile phone form factors.

I'm told the most common way for men to carry a mobile is in their left front pocket, in close proximity to several vital organs and the family jewels. Having the phone in the open on your wrist, that is with at least some bone between it and your innards (and jewels), is probably a better idea.

It's bling! A phone is a phone is a phone. Mine cost £30 and it's more than adequate. Get a life people...

I would actually be sad enough to get one if it was on contract.

I notice there doesn't seem to be a clock in the display? Now for me that's a pretty fundamental feature of a wrist watch, amirite?

I'm quite impressed that they've managed to make a 3G cellphone into a watch sized device.

They removed the keypad to achieve this size. But what if they removed the screen as well ? You could, say, wear it like a brooch. To activate it, you'd just touch it, and speak. e.g.

"Call Catherine", or

"Call James", or

"Call Jonathan"

"I remember reading somewhere that the battery life is around 3.5 hours"

All they need to do is incorporate one of those devices that allow you to charge the battery by shaking your wrist up and down. It would then be ideal for the type of people that would own one...

> will only stock a “limited” number

presumabily because there's only a limited number of dicks willing to look totally stupid with something like this.

I want my Pip Boy already. I'm over 10 years old :(

As to the left/right conundrum. It is standard practice in PR/marketing firms to publish mirror images of pictures if they look better. Don't ask why, only they will tell you.

As to the phone itself, yeah it's kinda pricey, but coupled with a discrete blue-tooth headset i reckon this could be the future.

by various Chinese brands.

some in steel looking a damn site better than that one and at 'only' around 100. though the cheap ones start at 50 quid.

struggle to see whats revolutionary about LG bringing one out 2 years after. For once, the Chinese lead, and the rest of the world imitate.

or alternatively:

Pickard to Riker

Janeway to Paris

the "<name> to" phrase used to identify that you want to make a call (vs other functions)...

or use voicedial on your current phone and store everyones details as "<name> to <contact>"

"Computer, arch" to get to settings/app menu (phone or computer)

?????

PROFIT!!

how about someone makes a phone where the electronics are that small, and the rest of the "normal" sized phone case is battery?

this + n95 case+ epic battery = bad analogy

also, phones like these with cameras - my first reaction was to think "why would i take a photo of my wrist?" (camera usually on the back see? i know. im sorry.)

Nice to know what Orange have been doing instead of getting the N97 working with their crippled firmware...

I'm sure a watch phone is a worthy investment of their time... Oh hang on a second... It's not the feckin' 80s anymore... There's a credit crunch... We don't have any yuppies who would be stupid enough to want one of these!

for one-handed typing related activities

I dont think this will become a next generation phone. Teens like phones like iphones or phones like Nokia Aeon ( http://www.domesticutilities.com/aeon.htm ) . But this one is not for me
