Samsung Adidas F110 miCoach personal trainer phone

A nice idea...

..sadly, without GPS this thing appears next to useless once you've used a Garmin Forerunner. You can get a 305 for a little over a ton nowadays.

Nothing like seeing your routes in Google Earth, along with speed and HR data overlaid in a on-map 3d graph detailing HR , speed and elevation at whatever point.

Once you've used that, this phone appears little more than a nice HR watch.

Running

There is no other training than running. If you want to get fit, you start to run. And when you run, you'll get fit. Or injured.

@Joe K

I have been skeptical of such products. However your description of mapping a route with HR data has changed my mind. I don't know that I'd drop a ton for it but it is an excellent idea.

Looks Smart

As an all in one device that looks impressive, the heart rate monitor etc is very good.... i wonder what it does if you get a call whilst running though :D

I agree it's not going to be up there with the Garmin products (though i think the 305 must add 30lbs to your wrist, it's a brick!!!), but by the looks of it it moves the game on a little from the Nike+ system.... it won't be quite as accurate without GPS (neither is the Nike+) but it's all one place.

Shame neither of them have bloody Mac software though. Grrrrrrrr
