Much as it pains me to be cynical about something as cool as a cellphone watch, I’ll believe that the Epoq EGP-WP88 is shipping from March 1st when I hear that the first customers have it in their hands (or more likely on their wrists).  Unlike the LG watch-cellphone concept shown at MWC last week, the Epoq apparently has a built in microphone and speaker so you don’t necessarily need to resort to a Bluetooth headset if you’re caught short.  It also has a kinetic power supply, which recharges the two interchangeable Li-Ion batteries by your own movement.

According to the specifications the Epoq offers “handwritten input”; however there’s no mention that the OLED display is also a touchscreen, so I can only assume it’s some over-ambitious product description.  The watch is quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) has a quoted talktime of 120-150 minutes or 70-100hrs standby.  Most exciting is the “incoming call with big head sticker” feature; I think it means picture caller ID.

Supposedly the Epoq EGP-WP88 will ship on March 1st priced at $549.95.  If you order one, let me know!
