Dec 10 2007Available NOW: Cell Phone Watch For $200
You may recall the Hyundai Cameraphone Watch we reported on in October. Well this isn't it. But it is a cell phone watch. Available from thinkgeek for $200, it's an unlocked GSM cell phone and PDA all packed into a package you wear on your wrist. You'll need service with AT&T/Cingular or T-Mobile for the little guy to work (sorry for now Verizon and Sprint users). It comes with a whopping 60MB of built in storage, with no extended memory supported. Read: Suckage. But for those of you that are itching for a phone to wear on your wrist, maybe you can look past that. I'm holding out though. I had a guy that runs a clinic out the back of a local Chinese restaurant offer to install a cell phone in my brain for only $400. I've just got to remind him to clean off his instruments before operating. Because when he fixed up my broken leg last time I think he left part of an eggroll and a few wontons in there.
A picture of the included accessories and a huge list of specs and features after the cut.

I like the fact that in the pic the 'hand model' has the fattest largest hands I have ever seen in order to make the damn thing seem less bulky. Unfortunally I am not a fat tub of lard so I have normal size wrist and hands and I think this may look akward on me.

I wonder how you talk into it. Stick your wrist to the side of your head?

So in other words Joe Mamma you're a limp wristed pansy. Get down the gym, pump iron and bulk up those forearms! Alternatively, do what I do and masturbate more often than a monkey.
cp88, look up bluetooth.

#5 ... you'd do that to LISTEN INTO IT. Talking is another story.

Oddly enough, holding your wrist up to your ear with your elbow in the air ...Still less douchey than bluetooth earpieces.
