What is Digg?140 Comments
- 1807, on 01/07/2009, -0/+38I'm waiting for 'Return of the PDA' where the cellphone realizes his true destiny as a PDA and comes to terms with the fact that wristwatch is actually his father.
- woofers07, on 01/07/2009, -0/+30"Ever since I moved out here to Hawaii, I stopped wearing a watch."
"Really? that's cool man."
"Yeah, my cell phone has a clock on it, so I don't really need it." - metrodigg, on 01/07/2009, -1/+28I want a shoe phone. And a shoe clock. And other shoe related technologies.
- mikelgan, on 01/07/2009, -2/+24The article is not a roundup or review of watches. It's about a possible cultural shift involving the acceptance of wristwatch cell phones as a replacement for cell phones. All links in the article lead you to speeds and feeds.
- elister, on 01/07/2009, -14/+35I hate articles like these.
Plays Video!! (What format? What resolution? what bitrate?)
Plays MP3! (What bitrate?)
Micro SD! (SD or microSDHC support?)
Its a cell phone (what carrior will it work with?)
Battery life? Charge Time? Charge Time when internet is in use?
File transfers, do I need an app or will it treat it as a flash drive?
Details plz! - AttilaD, on 01/07/2009, -1/+22http://www.phenomwatchphone.com/
I almost thought this MIGHT be a tiny bit cool... until I saw the flash banner. - khuongsta, on 01/07/2009, -2/+19wristwatch always carries a bit of class - but i tend to wear mine as jewlery these days
- newgoldtooth, on 01/07/2009, -0/+15I don't know if mankind is cool enough to talk into their wrists yet
- Memnochxx, on 01/07/2009, -0/+15Guess you don't have a lot on your schedule.
- JustJoe4Life, on 01/07/2009, -0/+12I'm gonna make a bold prediction and say that wristwatches won't replace cell phones.
- Narcism, on 01/07/2009, -1/+11You have smoked yourself retarded.

- thelastcivilian, on 01/07/2009, -0/+9I always laugh when somebody's wristwatch battery dies and they gets confused because their watch says 2:00 pm, even though it's night. It's on those days that I look up to the sky, identifying Beta Cassiopeiae to figure out what time it is and smile on the inside. If it's still bright out, I calculate the angles of the shadows of the city's towering skyscrapers, using them as rudimentary sundials.
- porkdanish, on 01/07/2009, -0/+8Your carefree life as a hobo sounds romantic, but what about the rail yard dicks?
- freezerburn666, on 01/07/2009, -0/+8i used to see this old man who would walk down my street and stop and talk to his wristwatch, i thought he was just crazy...
- ClandyMuse, on 01/07/2009, -0/+8"Carriers - currently support all and adding more every day"
Wait, what? - abbasatpsu, on 01/07/2009, -0/+8strikes back ? when did they go out of style ? did i miss hearing rolex or omega going under ? besides do you imagine yourself learning to talk to your wrist. it will give a whole new meaning to douchebag.
- Malik112099, on 01/07/2009, -1/+8This is dumb. Is the next big thing going to be the beeper phone?
- davidrools, on 01/07/2009, -0/+7I just think it's so much easier to look at your wrist than to digg in your pockets for your phone
- Jabb0, on 01/07/2009, -2/+9Bag...Douche Bag
- TheSabre, on 01/07/2009, -1/+7A few weeks ago, I was shopping for Christmas gifts. I forgot my watch (and I gave up my cell phone years ago) and I needed to find the time. I asked a random guy if he had the time because I saw that the guy was wearing a wristwatch. He spent a good 40 seconds digging around in his pockets trying to find his phone so he can tell me what time it was.
- Layne, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6Are we cool enough if we do it with radio clicks and "over"'s?
- blackinthmiddle, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6Cell phone watch - fine
MP3 player watch - fine
Plays music video - screen too small
Surf the web - forgetaboutit!
I could *definitely* see something like this replace something like the LG Chocolate. However, this will never replace smartphones. Not unless you can create a virtual screen with it. - ashrric, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6Battery life could be a problem, the Phenom was showing only 2 hours of talk time.
- system5y, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6but who's watching the wristwatchmen?
- Scrappy1850, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6whoa... deep, man
- tgc1, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6Sometimes I like to know what time it is. So I just look at my wrist, where I wear a watch. True story.
- tgc1, on 01/07/2009, -0/+6Did he happen to have a yellow coat?
- MTSpoons, on 01/07/2009, -6/+12I always laugh when somebody's cell phone goes dead and they scramble to find the time. It's on those days I slowly cover my watch with my long sleeve shirt and smile on the inside.
- saltmiser, on 01/07/2009, -0/+5I will always wear my analog watch
- BoneheadFarker, on 01/07/2009, -0/+5@subliminalurge
Or you could be one of "those guys" and wear the ear piece all the time. - CoD4, on 01/07/2009, -1/+6KITT, pick me up!
- CedEx, on 01/07/2009, -1/+6What? Have you not watched Knight Rider? How the hell do you think Michael calls Kitt?
- Volatile36, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5Stop with the watch/thing hybrids. No one wants them.
They're overpriced, ugly, and complicated unless you have the tiniest of fingers or maybe a dialing wand or something. - inactive, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5Must be nice living in mom & dad's basement and not having a job or any other responsibilities.
- TheSabre, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4I bet you get lots of ladies with that.
- vamp1regr4ve, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4i was about to post the same thing, god that kid is annoying. There is just something about him that kinda makes you want to hit him....
- dieboldcracy, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4Grammar strikes back!!
- subliminalurge, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4Clicks and overs are absolutely essential. Otherwise you'd just look like a douche.....
- diggduggDOOM, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4The farce is not strong in this one.
- californicator, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4Does this mean you can't wear a watch in the gym locker room?
- pygmy, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4page doesn't support windows 3.1
- chamberlanderic, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4for me a watch is more of a piece of Jewelery that a gadget
- californicator, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4I'll wait for the Rolex version.
- Chairboy, on 01/07/2009, -2/+6And keep those Marconi wireless sets out of the auto-mobiles, there is simply no way to get a good sound in those clattering contraptions. I feel the business acumen of the 'wizards' (I place this expectoration in the quotation mark to indicate my feelings of scorn) who discuss doing this and placing cigarello lighters and mirrors (all of which can be had seper-ately as superior standalone gadgets) in them shall lose their proverbial shirts. People hate change and are able to see through such shallow deceptions!
- Memnochxx, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5I find it annoying having something on my wrist.
- diggduggDOOM, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5... for throwing at visiting dignitaries, I hope.
