Calling Dick Tracy with M300

Calling Dick Tracy with M300

A watch phone sounded like a cool idea back in the days where Dick Tracy had some standing in the daily funnies. Unfortunately, when you think about it in this day and age, a device such as the M300 isn't really practical. Sure, you get Bluetooth connectivity that prevents people from eavesdropping on your conversations (unlike poor Dick), but what about the more important aspects of communication such as text messaging and email? For those who want to purchase the M300 Watch Phone, you get a quad-band GSM/GPRS timepiece that comes with 60MB of internal memory, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and an MP3 player all for $305. I have my apprehensions about a 1" OLED 65k color display being used as a watch's face, since it won't exactly dazzle under bright light conditions, making it hard to tell the time when you're outdoors.

Well im sure the chinese manufacturer will now care about the FCC because they are now facing a huge lawsuit for releasing this watch on the market.And also if you didnt know..if you try to sell any sort of electronic equipment in USA without passing FCC standards it is illegal.Check Ebay and Brandos website as you can see they have been removed for copyright infringment.Sorry for your loss as a previous customer but think of somebody stealing your copyright invention and selling it when you actually never released it in the first place.

The M300 Wrist Phone watch made by brando china,is now banned from ebay for copyright infringment.The M300 was first developed by an Australian Company SMS Technology and was to be released last yr Sept, but because it was not a practical Unit to be sold and shipped worldwide the company no longer wanted to distribute this model.A chinese company made a fake pirated version of this watch and started selling them on there website and ebay.SMS quickly got them removed and banned.I4Unews did a review on the watch I4U News - M300 Wrist Mobile Phone User Review and has now just recently updated there website saying not to purchase the watch because it is a fake pirated copy of the original.New Buyers Beware of this... look and make sure that whomever has purchased this watch,check quality standards and FCC passed and inspected.The new wrist phone M500 from SMS Technology has been now released and being shipped worldwide, I personaly own this watch and it has passed FCC standards and is not a copy or fake.Overall it is more practical with a color touch screen so you can dial numbers alot easier and send sms text messages ,blue tooth headset , MP4 and MP3 technology and only 15mm thick.The Usability and Practicality of the M500 was worth the wait for the improvments over the M300.............Just thought i should let you guys know the M300 wll soon be removed from most retail websites
