Mobile-phone company SMS, based in Hong Kong.The SMS M500 GSM Watchfone is billed as the world’s smallest mobile phone, and is tiny enough to be a very attractive watch. Most TV or phone watches to date have been bulky, heavy, and unattractive, but SMS has managed to make a watch/phone hybrid that actually looks nice as well as tells the time.
The device weighs only 60 grams, is water-resistant (not waterproof), and can play MP3 and AAC audio and MP4 video. The M500 has a 1.5-inch touch screen with an included stylus, 128MB of flash storage, and Bluetooth so you can pair a headset and don’t have to speak directly into the watch if you don’t want to. SMS claims the battery gives 200 minutes of talk time or 80 hours of standby before recharging via USB.Pricing has yet to be announced.Via

OK everyone… http://www.m500.org is up and running with a forum that is not closed (cough cough mymobilewatch).
It should help you keep up to date with this awesome product!
Please run through things, sign up for the BB, and let me know how things feel work. I’ve run many a server in the past and still do, but, strangely enough, I’ve never run a forum. So, this should be fun.
Feel free to start things off by adding what we’ve discussed if you so choose.
If you feel there should be a category in the forum, let me know. There is a contact page that goes to me on the site.
Ciao,
