    without Bluetooth this would be useless, with it... not bad.

    we've all seen these kind of gadgets on display from Japan, nice to see them over here. I'd almost be tempted if i managed to get the new Archos 9 to deal with all the other things my phone does.

    What happens when you're on a long call and all that tightly packed electronics get a bit warm...

    I hope there is some sort of low head conductive backing between the phone and your wrist!!

    it says it comes "with" bluetooth, so i recon it would be a pretty good seller although not sure how practical it is, but in interesting item non the less

    Isn't a just a bit .... my age is going to show here ..... Secret Agent Joe 90 .... something out of a 70's "futuristic" cartoon?

    I suppose styling is a case of individual preference, but .... well ..... YEUCH!"

    Also, if this is supposed to be the answer to the iPhone, well, someone at Orange marketing is overpaid .... if they're working for free. It's a gimmick, a gadget. It may well sell to the gadget freak in us all, but it's far too small and fiddly to have the app support and versatility that makes iPhone (and similar) what they are, and it doesn't seem to have the iconic design features that made iPhone, iPod, etc the rave success they are/were.

    Marketing desperation, if you ask me.

    I think Orange ARE looking to take on the iPhone...but with the Hero, not this. That said, come on, it's fun, you have to admit. Next week, I understand they're launching the shoephone as well...

    its a bit of light hearted fun.

    Quite a few people have mobile 2 numbers, one for personal friends to send more texts and the like too, then the one they will call them back on.

    This would be quite good for the incoming messages from the certain specail people that you always want to make sure you respond to quickly!

    Handy if you've got a lack of pocket space.

    tbh, I used to use a Sony Ericsson phone with an SE/Fossil bluetooth watch and headset - worked out pretty well, I could listen to my music on the bus and (without taking my phone out of my backpack) still see who was calling and accept or reject the call all without touching the actual phone.
