Insurgent watch-phone maker Neutrano is back, and they’ve got two new models of the watch phone we originally saw at CES.
The more attractive model (pictured at left) has a stainless-steel body, and either a leather or metal band. The phone has a touch screen with four icons at the bottom that jump you to the SMS program, the dialer, the MP3 player and the 1.3-megapixel camera. There’s a lot of clicking on very tiny icons and buttons involved, so the Wristfone has a stylus which snaps into its band. The phone works on the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, but you have to bring your own SIM card.
Neutrano CEO Gary Rotman also showed us an early prototype of a second model, which detaches from its band so it can be held up to the ear. You can talk on this one like you talk on a regular phone, and then just snap it back into its band. It’s pretty big and clunky right now, though.
The stainless steel model is coming out on June 15 for between $300-400, Rotman said. He’s currently looking for retailers to sell the device.
