Review on EP2502, the waterproof watchphone
Its name is EP2502. Behind this not-so-beautiful name, there is a fact which we couldn’t hardly denied that; this is the first waterproof watch phone. Guess what, this gadget comes from China by Kintech (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. Viva Chinese!
Unlike most of watchphones out there, this gizmo probably the first species which dare to covered its engine with metal.
Here is the quick list on its specs:

Basic parameter
Basic Technology
- network: GSM, GPRS, and WAP

With $299 in price tag, we can only hope that this stuff will give Kintech a good result in term of sales. Because if it isn’t, then probably people just don’t like to make call or doing any things mobile like Jason or Billy from Power Rangers Team. But if you intended to have one, go to Surprising Gift for more information.

Yeah Dimpu, I do agree with you. This time Chinese make a great gizmo but sometimes …. they make all world laugh after totally copying almost popular gadget out there. iPhone, iPod, Blackberry, N Series, and you name it.
Anyway, even “cheating” is a kind of craft. Not all man can do this as good as Chinese. Believe me.
