GSM Wristwatch Phone to be sold

GadgetKen · 14-12-2007, 02:55

Just ordered a CECT M800 wristwatch phone on ebay yesterday(with postage and insurance added in it came out to US$157).

Link to a short review of it and a picture:

Doesn't have a camera, but it only weighs 70 grams, has an MP3 and video player, bluetooth, a touchscreen triband 900/1800/1900 GSM phone (only the last frequency band will work in North America), and oh yes, it does tell the time.

Dealer is located in Hong Kong, so it may not show up in my mailbox for a while. Can't wait to try it with different sims and see how it works in the US, Canada, and the Caribbean.

Granted this is an oversized watch phone toy, but it should be a lot of fun to play with. I'll report on how it works when I get it.

It lacks a dual sim option

LOL, I'm not sure they could fit another sim card in something that small

Just got in the mail. Nice toy

Tried with call back and direct dial sims. All worked fine. Tried Beyond Wireless/AT&T-USA, Fido-Canada, Digicel-Bermuda, UM+, and Yackie Mobile. May also try with a T-Mobile/Tuyo chip when in a T-Mobile coverage area.

Dialing is by menu or virtual keyboard.

Texting is by handwriting recognition.

Amazing they can fit a phone in something this small. Receiver sensitivity is good. Tried calls both talking at my wrist (should be interesting trying that in public....), and via bluetooth.

Also has an MP4 audio/video player that plays either vertically or horizontally for video. Haven't converted files for it yet, but intend to. Also can play ebooks.

Instruction manual is in English and Chinese. No diagrams but can figure out most watch functions through the manual and rummaging through the menus on the phone.

USB cables provided to charge headset or phone. Cables connect either to a PC or to an included AC Adapter (110-240V AC; has rounds pins). Spare battery provided and sim cards easily install under the battery pack on the back of the phone.

USB drivers weren't included but were easily found by Windows XP on the internet (3 drivers were downloaded by the hardware installer when I plugged in the USB cable). USB cable can be used to either use the phone as a USB drive or as a communications cable to teather a device.

All in all a good value for US$157 with postage on ebay.
