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.
