Discontinued 22nd July 2009 (Updated 31st July 2009)
You
probably didn't know that you wanted a phone that you could wear
as a watch, but Samsung and some other manufacturers seem to think
that you do, and they have given us a preview of the Samsung
S9110.
Full technical details are not currently available
for the S9110, but we do know that this phone is just under 12mm
thick and has a 1.76 inch touchscreen display.
The S9110 comes with an MP3 player, Bluetooth and
voice recognition support. Samsung say that the S9110 synchronises
with Microsoft Outlook and you can even read your emails on it.
There's not much more to go on, except that the
S9110 will cost about €450 when it goes on sale in France sometime
this year. Presumably it will be available in other countries too,
although perhaps you will need to find a specialist retailer.
It's all very clever, and while we admit that the
S9110 would be a pretty cool thing to own.. we can't really see
what the point is. We don't know exactly when the phone will be
available, but rumours say that the S9110 should be out sometime
this summer.
Update: We know know that the S9110 comes
with a 630 mAh battery, voice recognition, measures 58 x 41 x 12mm
and weighs 91 grams. The display is 176 x 220 pixels in 262,000
colours, and the S9110 supports dual-band 900 / 1800 MHz GSM and
Bluetooth 2.1.
