Pebble E-Paper Watch runs cool apps for iPhone and Android cell phones using Bluetooth technology, and has managed to woo all too eager financial backers on Kickstarter at a sweet and rising tune of over $ 6 million – that’s right, over $ 6 million!

Pebble E-Paper watch is a smartwatch product design project by 5 guys (aka the “Dream Team”) out in Palo Alto, CA. These five clever smartwatch technological geniuses originally launched and sought financial backing of merely $ 100,000 for the E-Paper watch on Kickstarter April 11th. By April 12th, 28 hours later, they had received; wait for it, $ 1 million in backer pledges! Indeed, what a difference a day makes!

The Wooing Factor. The wooing factor drawing so many backers to the Pebble E-Paper watch is its ability to run some of the coolest apps using Bluetooth technology from two of the hottest cellular smartphones on the market, iPhone and Andriod. Its slim lines and sleek appearance along with its potential to upload and run future apps has backers in a pledging frenzy on Kickstarter’s website!

Pebble E-Paper Watch. Pebble E-Paper watch is the smallest and lightest Smartwatch to be sold on the market to date. It has a 144 X 168 pixel display with a clean high resolution black and white E-paper display which is visible in sunlight and at night (includes an available backlight feature). It has a 22 mm watch band that can be easily replaced with a comparable width watch band. It is available in three colors: Jet Black, Arctic White, Cherry Red and a fourth color, which will be determined by Kickstarter backers that make pledges levels of (or more): $ 240, $ 550, $ 10,000.

Stunning Features. Pebble E-Paper watch features include a built in accelerometer, vibrating motor, powerful microprocessor, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR and it comes with a special USB cable that allows you to charge the Pebble from a computer or any wall USB charger for a battery life of 7 days. The watch is water resistant in the shower or while swimming.

The Pros. Amazing pros of the Pebble E-paper watch is its ease to upload apps using iPhone or Android cell phones wireless Bluetooth function. Simply browse the Watch App Store on your cell phone and merely install the app – it’s just that easy. Running apps using the Bluetooth wireless function Pebble E-Paper watch owners can enjoy the following functionality and features:

· Cyclists can enjoy the Bike Computer app which uses GPS to transmit data like average speed, elapsed time and distance travel
· Runners that run with their Smartphone can listen to and control music as well as monitor running distance and pace
· Caller ID feature
· Emails and Texts (Gmail or any IMAP email account) can be received
· Messages from Facebook and Twitter can be received as well
· Calendar alerts
· Silent vibrating alarm and timer
· Control Music on most Smartphone with music apps for iTunes, Spotify, Google music, Pandora all from your wrist!
· Golf Range finder functionality is in development prior to the watch’s roll out!
· Pebble SDK – allows developers to add functionality to E-Pebble using simple C structure to rock out their watch capabilities!
· It appears more apps and functionality are being explored and added daily

The Cons. Pebble E-Paper watch has a battery life of 7+ days when charged. However, be aware that the Bluetooth feature does affect the battery life of the cell phone using up to 5-10% per day.

The “Dream Team” appears to have hit a technological “demand nerve” with the Pebble E-Paper watch and the pledges are still coming in to fund the development and distribution of this amazing watch. At last tally backer pledges have risen to a sweet sum of $ 6,681,015. The project will be funded on Friday, May 18, 11 PM EDT. Pledge now while you can because the retail value of the Pebble E-Paper watch will be $ 150. Backers can also ask questions and make suggestions for added functionality for Pebble E-Paper Watch.

Hurry because the mad rush and stop watch is counting down – oh, and by the way there is an app for that too!

Answer by Bond007
No… you use that to block your number from the person your calling. No charge You can even add *67 to any number in you phone contacts so you don’t have to do each time you call. Keep in mind your number will show up blocked when you call another cellphone but they may still get your number if they have detailed billing. ****depends on who they have

Bell & Ross Question&Answer:

Question by Mike

My cell phone broke… so can i buy a phone like the black berry storm or something like that. then later on when my contract end bring it over to rogers and still use my phone from bell? I live in canada and i would appreciate a responce thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Jules
It’s possible, however check to make sure if it’s sim-card compatible. Bell doesn’t use sim cards, and Roger’s does.

If it DOES work, and you can use a sim-card in it, then yes you could take it over to Roger’s with you. Keep in mind though that Roger’s doesn’t carry the Storm, and therefore the roger’s network might not recognize it. Any charges incurred that you would want to dispute with Roger’s as a result of using a non-roger’s device do not qualify you for any credits or adjustments, as well as no tech support if something goes wrong.

Question by SVTGirl

I was thinking about buying a new phone, but not from my Cincinnati Bell store, which is my provider. Can I buy any unlocked phone and it worked just fine, or would I have to take it to them, and pay for it to be unlocked? I dont know much about the process. Thanks!
Thanks! What is the “GSM850/1900″ and how do I change it to Cincinnati Bell?

Best answer:

Answer by musicnmobile
Cincinnati Bell is a GSM provider so as long as you purchase an UNLOCKED GSM phone that is at least GSM850/1900, simply pop in your sim card and you are good to go for voice and SMS
Remember, if the phone is NOT Cincinnati Bell branded, you will have to change the GPRS/WAP settings to the Cincinnati Bell settings if you want to use data
ADDITIONAL
When purchasing an unlocked GSM phone, if the phone is made for sale in North America, all newer GSM phones will be at least GSM850/1900 so no worrys
If you purchase a phone made for sale in Europe, you will have to check the specifications of the phone, it will list the GSM bands in the specs

Question by Gallardo

I found this BlackBerry Curve 8530 with no line, but it is a CDMA phone. How can i transfer it from being a Bell phone, to my current Rogers plan? The phone does not have any place for a SIM card to fit, and someone told me that that is how CDMA phones are. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
Don’t ask me to do everything i can to return it. I’m in a tight spot and I’d rather sell the thing.

Best answer:

Answer by Brian Alb
The phone does not have any place for a SIM card to fit? As far as I know, this kind of cell phone has the fuction that can place a SIM card. Could you check your cell phone again carefully?
