sWaP Nova Keyring Watch
A truly tiny mobile phone. Probably the lightest mobile there is. Wear it, or even use it as a keyring - an impressive bit of kit. This phone had recently won the World Record as the lightest touchscreen mobile phone. Impressive!
For its size, this small, but beautifully-formed mobile device has a lot to offer, including a media player, radio, e-Book reader (if you're eyesight is good),plus support for A2DP stereo Bluetooth audio. See our full sWaP Watch Rebel Review
