Ulysse Nardin Chairman Smart Phone: Hybrid Phone + Watch

We can see that the new operating system is pretty looking on the nice looking  multi-touch screen. There is also a finger print reader for unlocking the phone and possible for some screen navigation (as some Japanese phones do). The phone has a 5 megapixel camera, WI-FI, Internet browser, email client, and the background of the screen is modeled after the Ulysse Nardin Quadrato Dual Time watch. Check out the gallery below for more images.See full image gallery here at Engadget.com.Learn more about the Ulysse Nardin Chairman phone at the dedicated website here.A fair statement by marketing, though marketing nonetheless. For me, I look forward to hearing about the energy charging system and how it works.UPDATE: This doesn't change my thoughts from before, but it turns out that the Chairman phone will have two batteries. One of them will be powered by AC (plugged in), and the other will be powered by the kinetically charged rotor. We will have to see how much juice the second battery can dish out.UPDATE 2: The phone is finally revealed and there is more information.
