EP2502 watchphone

Another day another watch phone. This one, however, comes with a twist that goes beyond somewhat stylish design. The EP2502 is a waterproof watchphone, “world’s first” supposedly. Other specs include tri-band (900/1800/1900 mhz) GSM radio, 1.3-inch OLED touchscreen, media player (yes you can watch movies on it), 2 megapixel camera, and a memory card slot. According to the official specs, the battery should deliver about 3 hours of talk and 160 hours of standby time. It costs $299 and is available starting from May 10th.

Interested? Hop over to SurprisingGift for more information. You can also buy it from there once it becomes available. In the meantime, we have two more images after the jump.
