To promote battery life, the Wearfone will not be a 3G phone, but use more traditional frequencies instead. Regardless, you'll still have to charge it every couple of days at least. They also boast the ability for the Wearfone to connect to computers and other mobile devices (meaning other phones as well?). I tend to take this to mean the watch will have Bluetooth, but not specific reports on this yet. The TV screen looking case and face are apt for the purposes this watch is designed for. While not a small watch in size, the Wearfone is humble, and makes for a respectable piece of wrist technology. I like that it features a metal (probably aluminum) bracelet, which ups the style a bit. A rubber strap would have made the thing just look cheap. Expect a number of colors and options to be available. The Fins know how to make computer based watches. Suunto is Finland based, and has been making excellent watches for years with dizzying amounts of technology that still manage to look good. If the people behind the Wearfone have their way, they should be available by the end of the year for purchase. Pricing is between about $700 - $1,500. This price, while high for a mobile phone, is reasonable for a watch that does this much. Look forward to more information as it becomes available.
