Ah, the elusive wristwatch phone. Many have tried, but all have failed to go mass-market. And by "failing to go mass-market" I mean no one I know has one.
The latest talk-into-your-wrist endeavor comes from Chinavision, and they've solved the problem of the requisite tiny-footprint-equals-tiny-screen-and-keypad; they've effectively doubled the interactive surface area by making it a clamshell wristwatch phone. Of course that raises another problem, which is that now you're wearing something so thick and clunky that after a month of hailing cabs, one of your biceps will be bigger than the other.
Our suggestion: Get one for each wrist, be super-connected, and have huge, symmetrical biceps.

Instead of 'talking into our wrists' we are simply talking into our hands, or with a bluetooth earpiece, talking into thin air!
A mobile phone eliminates the need for wristwatches. So the question is, should designers within the mobile phone industry look at integrating phone technology into wrist device, or integrating classic (tank) wristwatch aesthetics and sensibilities - or perhaps even those pocket watches - into the hand held(?) device.
