” There has been a lot of misconception surrounding this watch before it’s release, it was incorrectly stated the watch was made by Rim (research in motion) when in fact this model is made by Allerta and is available for pre order now.
I have to say I was pretty impressed by it’s concept, it’s a watch, it tells the time which is what a watch should do, but this little piece of technology actually connects remotely to your blackberry allowing you to read your texts and emails from it and also alerts you when you have an incoming call via its built in vibrating motor.
It has a battery life of 4 days and takes just 30 minutes to recharge via a usb cable and the screen measures 1.3 inches, there is no video call option, unlike the LG watch phone.
The phone is due for release in february 2010, and is available for pre order at $149, there’s no date confirmed for a UK release but I’m sure it will soon follow. I have mixed feelings about it really, it’s one of those gadgets that will either do really well or really bad. It is a lot cheaper than the LG watch phone which is reported to cost around £1000! so in my mind the Inpulse is probably the better option.
Summary
It has its pro’s and con’s (see below) just like any other gadget or product out there serving a similar purpose. If you have a blackberry smartphone then it is a useful tool for someone that is a keen socialite or a very busy executive that gets a lot of texts, calls and emails, if your not any of these I would struggle to justify buying one, it is a blackberry accessory and not compatible with any other phone, which is a shame as that would make it really good. In all the phone is a good not great purchase if you own a blackberry.
