For smartphone use, it probably makes more sense if the thing is a bluetooth handset (possibly with a dialpad) rather than an entire phone.
Advantages:
- You can keep your phone tucked in a bag, so it's less of a theft magnet and isn't microwaving the boys all day.
- The motion you use to take the thing off your wrist leaves it nicely positioned for talking in your dominant hand.
- You avoid both "douchebag with a headset" and "crazy person talking to themselves" syndromes.
- It could display the time, incoming caller ID (somewhere where you can actually read it rather than next to your ear), and with proper device support, incoming emails and text messages.
