The M500 from SMS Technology in Australia is supposedly the world’s smallest mobile phone. It boasts a 1.5-inch TFT touch screen at 120 X 160-pixel resolution. It’s a world phone, operating on GSM 850/900/1800/1900Mhz (GPRS) cellular networks with a SIM. SMS and MMS are also supported, which makes this phonewatch as good as any entry-level handset. It plays MP3/AAC as well as MP4 videos, making it a PMP-watch as well.
As small as it is, it has 128MB of onboard internal memory, good enough for 199 contacts and 40 real tones. It’s by far the best PMP-watch that we have featured here at PMP Today, in my opinion. Additionally, it is the world’s first true cellular phone wristwatch. How about this as an early Christmas present idea? It’s pricey too at $820. Other features include Dial-Up Networking, flight mode, game support, a USB port and Bluetooth, and it only weighs 60g.

I like the idea very much! I know I would buy a watch-et wristwatch protector for it though $820.00 is alot of money to lose if you break it!
Take care and good luck to SMS of Australia

I have to agree on the “watch-et wristwatch guard that at $9.99 it’s well worth it to protect that m500 cell phone.

OK everyone… http://www.m500.org is up and running with a forum that is not closed (cough cough mymobilewatch).
Feel free to start things off by adding what we’ve discussed if you so choose.
Please run through things, sign up for the BB, and let me know how things feel work. I’ve run many a server in the past and still do, but, strangely enough, I’ve never run a forum. So, this should be fun.
If you feel there should be a category in the forum, let me know. There is a contact page that goes to me on the site.
Ciao,

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 to you.
