Warning! This portion is about geeky-ness to the highest level. Alright, ever watched Dick Tracy? The america’s famous super detective? He has this watch that he uses to communicate with people and has a tv too!. This kind of watch is available right now. Even better! Because this wristwatch is not only a watch, it’s also a touch screen cellphone and a PDA, a gadget made by thinkgeek group which you can find only on the internet. Geeky enough? Not yet! Found out the design and the features as well as the performance later! Stay tuned! Geek Power! LOL
Design
The Touch Screen PDA phone wristwatch is designed in Asia. They say that asia is the home of many cute things. I do agree on that. We Asians do love cute things.
• Now for the watch itself, it measure 2.43 inches in height, 1.68 inches wide and just 0.63 inch thick. I know, it’s too big for a girl to wear on the wrist but the good news is that you can wear it as a pendant. Weighs around 1 to 2 ounces.
• The screen size as expected is pretty small, just 1.3 inches, but hey it’s a watch and it’s cute!
• Oh and just so you know, it does have a stylus. It’s a tad bit smaller than the actual size of the watch, probably around 1.5 inches. I know, really small. But hey, better have one than none right?
Features and Performance
Now, you’re probably ready to judge this touchscreen wristwatch because of its size and can not fulfill your needs of a phone. Well stop right there.
• The package includes a Bluetooth headset because well, who would put that watch near their ear just to talk to someone. Also because the speaker is not very loud, you’ll have a hard time hearing the person at the other end of the line. When you make a call, you can dial by pulling the tiny included stylus from the side of the watch and tapping the numbers on the screen.
• This cool gadget can also play mp3, you can watch short clips, store hundreds of phone number, supports e-books, can send SMS and MMS messages, enter schedules or notes with basic handwriting recognition. Voice recorder etc I could go on and on!
• You can transfer files easily via USB because it acts as a removable drive.
• What I really like with this product is that everything you’ll ever need is included in the package. It has USB cable for transferring files, you have a charger, a Bluetooth headset, a wired headset, Two Lithium Ion Batteries, Bluetooth Headset Charging Cable, Pendant Adapter if you wanna use your PDA phone wristwatch as a pendant to feel more at ease.
• The downer? It only has 60 Megabytes of storage. Then the talk time can squeeze 3 hours of chit chat and 8 days of standby time.
Pros and Cons
Cons
• First of all, never buy this PDA phone wristwatch as a gift to your grandma or grandpa. They might throw it back to you due to their poor eyesight.
• You need to be comfortable swapping sim cards in and out. But if you would like to have this gadget as your permanent phone then there would be no problem.
• Now the screen is really small, just 1.3 inches, so fiddling with the interface and all would be a sore for the eyes. Specially if you have like a grade of 275 and above.
• This is a gadget for GEEKS, so if you don’t consider yourself one then you’re not cool. Haha!
• It has no expansion slot.
Pros
• The PDA phone wristwatch is feature packed phone! A small thing but does a lot
• Perfect gadget for Geeks, Dick tracy style. Ya know, the America’s famous super detective!
• The wristwatch has a unisex design. You also have the option of wearing it as a wristwatch or wearing it around your neck as a pendant. Whatever suits your taste.
• Comes with tons of accessories. The Bluetooth headset, wired headset, pendant adapter the 2 batteries. TONS!
Price : If you really really want this PDA phone wristwatch to fulfill your geeky-ness it costs 250 dollars or 11k pesos. And you can avail this product on the website of thinkgeek.com
