Finnishly Styled ‘Wearfone’ Is Another GSM Phone Watch

From Finland comes the Wearfone, a GSM based watch phone, that is more than a concept. This production ready (with pricing) watch with built in phone paves a new direction for watch phones everywhere. Last week I talked about Chinese watch phones that follow a similar principle here. While the Chinese watches are designed with a more "techy" direction in mind, the Finnish Wearfone, has minimalist elements, attempting at a highly functional watch with a build in phone, that won't have you branded "nerd." Thats not to say they aren't cool. but you can really only show them off in selected nerdling cirlces; myself included. The Wearfone is the first watch phone for the masses. The bright OLED screen displayed has a traditional analog watch face as a default. It is unclear what the specific touch screen input method may be (keyboard on screen, etc...) but suffice it to say that you'll be able to make calls and SMS text message with the Wearfone. The designers indicate that the clock screen would be the default input screen for accessing functions of the phone, meaning that you'll probably have to use the tip of your finger or some stylus to input data and use the device.
