Cool G108 the Watch Phone in a Clamshell Body

Cool G108 is one of the latest devices to come from China, and while you probably expect it to be a copy of an already existing product, as many Chinese gadgets are, the G108 is
a pretty original creation. The device combines a cell phone and a watch into a small case – which is not actually a new idea, but this is not important. The important thing is that, overall, G108 looks quite OK. For a phone-watch, of course.

Without its wristband, Cool G108 measures 51 x 51 x 20 millimeters (2.0 x 2.0 x 0.78 inches) and weighs 65 grams (2.29 ounces), hence it's almost like a normal watch. Given this small size, we can't expect the device to pack too many features, but its producer somehow found a way to squeeze in "things" like a 1.3 Megapixel camera, quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz), GPRS, Music player, Bluetooth (so you can talk without needing to approach your hand to your mouth), SMS & MMS capability and USB connection.

Moreover, Cool G108 can be opened like a clamshell phone, unveiling a round keypad and an internal 1.5 inch display with 256k colors support and a 128 x 160 pixels resolution. There's also an external LED display that shows you info like the battery status, signal reception and the current time (we're talking about a watch, after all). The internal memory of Cool G108 is only a 0.5MB one, but you can increase it via the memory card slot included in the device.

Cool G108's availability is not known for the moment, and nor is its price. Anyway, it's good to see China producing original stuff too, because copycatting is not really a thing to be proud of, and Cool G108 will be probably seen as cool, indeed, by gadget freaks.
