    This is a simple phone, not a smart phone people. There are still folks out there who just want to use a phone to make calls, not watch videos and play games. That said, why doesn't someone just form-fit a phone as a bluetooth key fob that, say, could also be used for car and home keyless entry. (Or just put one in a Star Trek-like decorative communicator medallion one pins to clothing).

    If this form factor really takes off, people will start looking at their wrists to tell the time again.

    I've been waiting to see where this form factor would go. From the "watch" side -- deployant clasp, nice leather band, curvature to fit a wrist -- all very nice. Memory seems too low to really put much video on it, and the screen seems pretty small to watch anything (no pun intended), but maybe this is a start, more than the endpoint of the wristphone. I'd be inclined to give up a pocket-carried phone for a wristphone if the feature set, from factor, and display were to my liking. I'll be interested in seeing where things go from here.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: My thoughts exactly

    Also, it looks like you'll have to take the watchphone off every night to recharge it. That'd be a pain in the ass. I keep my watch on all the time, taking it off maybe once a week to clean it up.

    @bnetter12: I didn't. It's a side effect of replying to a red box comment, i.e., a comment that is in red text but not visible to most readers until it has been promoted TWICE.

    So, just a bug, not unlike the one where on occasion you'll see something like "Edited by [name] at 12/31/69 7:00 PM".

    @bosskev: I shower daily (My watch is waterproof). But I am really meticulous about how clean the watch needs to be, so I have to clean it with rubbing alcohol and q-tips every week. It also keeps the metal from tarnishing quickly due to sweat.

    "Representing"? "A typical Aston Martin"? So what yer sayin' is that he assembled a bunch of stuff that looks like stuff in Bond movies, but doesn't have the cool prop missiles and smoke screens and stuff? All the parts that make it truly cool?
