Anybody here use one of these?
I fancy a new phone (toy) but the handsets are not coming out soon enough, I've been looking at them and they seem quite interesting, the citizen appeals but it appears it is only compatible with an iphone (which I'm not really a fan of) the Sony smartwatch looks interesting.

    Pebble and Martian smart watches both look good, but both of those are not out yet either...

    I've got a Pebblecoming eventually via Kickstarter, the Martian ones just looked ugly to me...

    Thanks for the reply, I suppose I could start off with the SE Live view less than £20 :cool:

    AFAIK the Sony ones rely on a BT connection to a Sony Smartphone - so they aren't terribly smart; more of a remote screen.

    Yes they all rely on BT, but the remote screen features will do me for novelty purposes and practicality, office meetings , restaurants cinema etc
    As there is no handset that appeals right now with CES and MWC approaching soon.
