Samsung offering S9110 watch phone..!!
Samsung S9110 watch phone:
Samsung launched its latest watch phone, the new S9110. The S9110 is what Samsung claims to be the thinnest watch phone on the market, at 11.98mm (.47in). The company credits its advanced surface mounting technology for this achievement.
Features:
The S9110 features a specially designed 1.76-inch TFT touchscreen display with a 176 x 220 pixel resolution. The phone can play MP3 files from its 40MB of
internal storage, and it can be used to record voice memos as well. Voice dialing and a speakerphone are also included for that full Dick Tracy effect.
If you prefer not to be seen talking into your wrist, you'll be thankful to know that the S9110 also supports Bluetooth headsets as well. The S9110's battery is rated for 630mAh of power, but Samsung did not indicate what kind of talk time or standby time performance we can expect from a full charge.
The body is made of stainless steel, as most high quality watches are these days, and the strap is made of leather.
Bluetooth 2.1, speakerphone, an mp3 player, and Outlook email sync. Sounds like a great deal for a watchphone right? Yeah, it does, but Samsung has gone one more step ahead and squeezed all this into a body that is just 11.98 mm thick, making this, according to the company, the world’s thinnest touchscreen cellphone.
The S9110 measures 57.5mm x 41.1mm x 11.98mm (2.3in x 1.6in x .47in) in size and weighs 91g (3.2oz). This dual-band (900/1800MHz) GSM/GPRS phone is designed to operate in Europe, and will be sold in France later for roughly 450 EUR.
That’s no the only downside to the Samsung S9110 either. This Watch Phone lacks the camera foiund on the LG alternative, and the Samsung phone only has 40MB of internal memory compared to the 2GB in the LG. Despite being thinner, the Samsung offering is slightly heavier (91g vs. 84g) too.
If you think it’s somewhat expensive, it’s actually not that bad considering you’ll be getting a very stylish watch phone. More importantly, it’s certainly cheaper than what LG has on their side of the fence.
