CECT mobile phone watch

Mobile phone watches are a pretty cool idea. Who wouldn’t want to get all Dick Tracy on their wristwatches? Past cellphone watches have flopped on account of being too big with too few features – but, current mobile phone watch manufacturers seem to have gotten hang of it, they’re actually pretty slick. Apparently CECT didn’t get the memo, they’ve got this hugely craptastic mobile phone-watch prototype that looks, well, like a huge piece of crap.

The watch phone claims GSM connectivity, Bluetooth, media player, large LCD, and even a built-in microphone and speaker. Be still our gadget-loving hearts! How in the world could they fit all that and three-buttons on each side of the non-touchscreen into that tiny little device? Oh, it’s not tiny you say? So that‘s how they did it!

At least they’re planning on launching this thing in a range of colors that would make the Skittles rainbow feel inadequate.

    hi, Andrew Lo.

    I have been posting so much attention on W100 CECT. Through china friends, chinese search engines, reviews, but there may seem to be no real release of W100 CECT in china market. I hope Qiao Xing will be delivering its first W100 into the market as soon as possible because the product has overdue, isn’t it?

  • Andrew Lo

    w100 will be released on 25th Sept.
    if you have further question, welcome to send me e-mail andrewlo@cectelecom.com

    thanks

    ANYBODY CAN HELP ME TO START MY IFONE PLS….(INTERNET,AIM,IM) AND SO ON…….

  • Olivia

    I think CECT is debuting its W100 CECT today, right now at least, isn’t he?

    Hope it is not a disappointing day.

  • thecolor

    I’ll be modifying the pages to reflect that device for the home page and other’s related shortly. the forum will remain as is (dedicated to the m500, but open to all).

  • SMS TECH

    Anything that has to do with SMS Tech selling the mobile watch M300, M500 or anything else in the future is false as they charge your crdit card and never deliver on the goods. This company is stealing from everyone and you should know they’ll do the same with you.

    To Mr. Andrew Lo, Vice Preisdent of CECT, maker of W100

    Dear Mr. Lo,

    I am impressed with your W100 and have been watching and waiting for years for someone to produce this device. I am seriously considering buying a black W100. I understand there are knock-offs/copies/counterfeit versions out there such as one called the M700. Could you please answer a few questions for me to make me feel a little more secure about making my purchase?

    1. How can I tell if a unit is an authentic CECT unit?

    2. Can you tell me who your authorized dealers of the USA version (850 &/or 1900 MHz) are?

    3. Are black units available for the USA (850 &/or 1900 MHz)?

    4. Are there any plans to make a 3G/UMTS version? If so, by what date?

    5. The camera is touted as being 1.3 Megapixels but the manual says maximum picture size is 640×480. That resolution comes out to be only 0.3 Megapixels so how can the claim be made that its resolution is 1.3 Megapixels?

    7. Are there any plans to improve the camera components/resolution? If so, by what date?

    8. Are the ones labeled “Hyundai” yours and if so, what is the connection?

    Thanks very much for answering all my questions.
