It's the little watch-phone that could. And it just might! Neutrano's Wristfone, which we saw at the CES and CTIA trade shows, will finally be coming to a GSM carrier somewhere in the USA this September, Neutrano CEO Gary Rotman told us today. The phone will cost around $200 with contract, or $300-400 unlocked.

I tried to figure out which carrier Neutrano was making a deal with, but Rotman wasn't telling. My guess is that the Wristfone will appear first on a smaller, regional GSM carrier like Cinci Bell, who have a history of picking up somewhat out-of-the-ordinary phones.

As we've recounted in our previous coverage, the WristFone is a chunky wristwatch that doubles as a camera phone. The model we saw today comes with a stainless-steel case and leather band. Neutrano has revised the specs a bit, too. The phone now runs on US GSM networks, and has a 1.4" touch screen, 1.3-megapixel camera with video, and Bluetooth so you don't look bizarre holding your phone up to your ear.

We'll keep an eye on this hot product as it develops.

Hey Justin - the demo model was an unlocked phone that Gary put his T-Mobile SIM into so that it would work. The unlocked version will work with T-Mobile, AT&T or any US GSM carrier.

I would be highly suspect of any product this company talks about. They may not be reliable and have outstanding debts in the US and perhaps overseas that may preclude them from bringing anything to market. Company President Gary Rotman also reports “we are in legal action with customers”. One might question their ability to support and stand behind the product should it come to market....POTENTIAL BUYER BEWARE.
