Dubbed a "watch phone", the quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz device will offer one and two hours of continuous talk time and 100 hours of stand-by time at the flick of a wrist. It includes a built-in phone book and 40 different polyphonic or MP3 ring tones, and weighs in at under 80 grams.
Measuring a minute 39 x 50 x 17 mm, the watch phone also offers support for GPRS Class 10, which should provide users with more than comfortable speed when using its WAP 1.2 browser and e-mail client. In addition, the watch phone also supports SMS and MMS, as well as Bluetooth and speakerphone capabilities. Whether the Bluetooth support also includes a DUN Profile is unknown, but it would be fair to assume that if it did, the watch phone would quickly become a hot item amongst owners of Bluetooth-enabled PDAs seeking GSM/GPRS connectivity.
MegaBuyStore is showing off the world smallest GSM/GPRS mobile phone, which just so happens to be fitted to a watchband. The tiny phone features a 65K LCD screen, a phone book, WAP 1.2, Bluetooth, Media Player, MP3 ringtones, and a speakerphone.

Dual SIM Technology = Save Time & Money!

If you have two mobile phones for example a personal mobile phone and a work mobile phone, you may find it annoying having to carry both mobile phones around with you. And there is also the cost that is involved in having to purchase two mobile phones, or having to take out two mobile phone contracts.
MegaBuyStore have revealed the E71-MFU-Quad Band dual sim card mobile phone. The E71-MFU-Quad Band works just like a standard mobile phone, but instead of reading just one sim card the E71-MFUreads both sim cards, simply put both sim cards are active at the same time. This should allow you to make and receive calls/text messages to both of your sim cards from the same handset. Not only does it have dual sim capabilities, it also boasts a 2 mega pixel camera, video recorder, MP3 player, FM radio, qwerty and micro SD card.
Another handy use for the E71-MFU would be if you had a personal or business sim card, and an international sim card (that gives you cheaper calls to abroad). This would save you having to swop between mobile phones when making your international calls. The E71-MFU will be available in mirror silver and dark silver colour schemes.
