Turtle Wireless has a new watch phone for the masses – the TW801. This is a tri-bang GSM phone that is meant to be worn like a wristwatch, featuring many other capabilities of an ordinary handset such as :-

• Bluetooth connectivity
• Camera function
• Audio and video playback
• Touch screen display
• 512MB of internal memory
• microSD memory card slot
• 3 hours of talk time
• 160 hours of standby time

There is no word on how much it will cost, but Turtle Wireless has plans to roll it out in Q3 and Q4 later this year. It will be sold as an unlocked phone. I personally don’t like watch phones since they’re a pain to read and compose text messages with.
