Samsung wrist watch phone later this year

Despite being a first-generation watch phone, Samsung's new Dick Tracy-style watch offers a range of advanced features

As cliché as a comparison with famous cartoon character Dick Tracy's wrist watch would be, it still is a just one as Samsung's new wrist watch phone will offers its users two-way communication using the world's most popular cellular standard; GSM. And with an advanced feature set that does in no way stand back to that of the average mobile phone today, the wrist watch phone even trumps Dick Tracy in a few areas.

Dubbed a 'watch phone', the dual-band GSM 900/1800 MHz device will offer one and a half hours of continuous talk time and 80 hours of stand-by time at the flick of a wrist. The handset also supports voice activated dialling and includes a built-in phone book and 40 different polyphonic ring tones, and weighs in at under 80 grams.

Measuring a minute 37.8 x 64 x 17.7 mm, the watch phone also offers support for GPRS Class 10, which should provide users with more than comfortable speed when using its WAP 1.2 browser and e-mail client. In addition, the watch phone also supports SMS and MMS, as well as Bluetooth and speakerphone capabilities. Whether the Bluetooth support also includes a DUN Profile is unknown, but it would be fair to assume that if it did, the watch phone would quickly become a hot item amongst owners of Bluetooth-enabled PDAs seeking GSM/GPRS connectivity.

Users will interface with the watch phone through its 8-bit (256 colours) OLED display, sporting a resolution of 96 x 64 pixels which can be personalized by means of wallpapers. Also, as befits a watch phone, the display shows the time when the user is not engaged in other activities.
