hahaha
I gonna buy that watch also (pebble)...money is problem just for you. Not for me.
Sony is not CHIP brand. I do not want to wear a watch which is named "pebble" with black and white display !? WTF is that ? We got Multi-touch color OLED display
-Sony WATCH cost 150 bucks...what do you accept to see inside kid? GOLD ?
I checked all stores...(main web site also) the items out of stock.
No bad feedback's about latest (MN2) generation...why so negative man?
You have it ? NO.
Where you got your experiences from ? From John? hahahah Who cares what inside.... is Sony not pebble...
Were you saw bad feedback's ? (the watch working so smooth and fast)

I bought Smartwatch 3 days ago, i confirm that it works well, without any problem. Don't have any bluetooth disconnection, notifications work "in time", battery is as it should be, fully charged it on day 1, no need to plug in again at the moment.
Need more time to test it and keep my opinion to say if it's really stable and a good product.
Regarding my phone's battery, when i check battery stats, Smartwatch use 4% so i think it's reasonable.

Sony Smartwatch
Just to let others know I have now had this watch a little under a week.....My impression so far is good.....it does exactly what it says it will .......with NO disconnections(unlike its predessecor the live view which always lost the connection and barely worked). All programs work well and the device speed is surpisingly good too(switching between screens and widgets etc). My only complaint is brightness there is no way to set it and in daylight it is hard to read the screen.

I got my sony smartwatch 6 days ago and the last charge was 4 days ago. So no problem with the battery. Yes the screen does come on when i shake it which is pretty convenient i think.
Sony's watch is more of a remote viewer and notifier. It doesnt use its own android system it uses the phones i think so it may not be fair to compare it to other smart watches that have android running on them. It is a lot cheap than others at the moment.
I'm using it with a Xperia S and the bluetooth only uses 3%. If i have all the notification it can do turned on then it only lasts 14 hours. With just text and email its managing 30 hours quite nicely
Hope this helps anyone.

just a quick question sir, how do you set the screen brightness? i've looked everywhere but yet to locate the settings?

Pebble is ridden with deceptive marketing.
For example, "e-paper" display? Please do not confuse with e-ink display.
The "e-paper" display is just regular black and white pixel LCD (not different from those already in use in today's digital watches).
And now let's look at what is inside a pebble shall we?
Micron N25Q032A11ESE40F 32 Mb serial flash
STMicroelectronics STM32F205RE high-performance ARM Cortex-M3 MCU, with a maximum speed of 120 MHz
STMicroelectronics LIS3DH 3-axis accelerometer
144 x 168 pixel black and white LCD
Spring buttons for navigation
Full plastic construction

Compare this with the Smartwatch
- CPU: STM32F205RG (120MHz)
- RAM: 128KB
- Flash: 1MB (For firmware only, apps are stored on the phone, not on the watch like pebble)
- OS: uC/OS-II
- BlueTooth: Yes (3.0)
- Fm Radio: Yes (disabled)
- LCD: 1.3" OLED
- Res: 128 x 128
- Touchscreen: Yes (Capacitive)
- Brushed Aluminium housing
- Battery - 110mAh
Just looking at the cost of components alone (let's ignore the fact that Smartwatch already has hundred of apps while the pebble can only display one notification at a time and has a silly snake game as an app...), Smartwatch is a better choice by far.
The curious part of it is they use the exact same processor.

Large capacity MP3 player >150GB

My 160GB Ipod Classic has finally died T_T The battery's not holding a charge at all, I'm thinking of getting it repaired but I'm worried something else'll fail shortly as it's had heavy use. I've been researching alternatives but all the threads etc I could find are a few years old, so what's the situation these days, are there any decent/inexpensive MP3 players with at least 150GB of storage out there? Any sort of mini hard drives with screens or anything? Or is the ipod classic still my best bet? Cheers

Obvious troll is obvious.

If you don't care about bulk archos has some massive pmps. I have a 4.8 in 250 gb but I can't use it for anything other than in my car just because its so large.

Cheers, good shout - what do you think of the Archos 48?

It's alright. Nothing special (and the resistive screen sucks after being spoiled by capacitive screens), charging (through a proprietary cable) is slow and the GUI sucks, but you can't beat the price for the capacity (I got my 250gb for like 170 a year ago).
I should add that the battery is fairly long lasting from a full charge and that in order to play movies and certain file formats (you'll be fine with mp3s) you have to buy format packs (which I find to be an obnoxious and money hungry practice that Archos should be ashamed of).

Yeah 500GB for £100, seriously tempted - £26 (independent site) to repair my 160GB iPod but like I said, something else could just fail as it has received heavy use. Had a look and it doesn't look like there are any ROMs for the 48, would be nice to pump it at least up to froyo... from the dimensions the 48 doesn't look too bulky, still pocketable?

Pocketable-maybe, but the weight is a pretty big factor. Not to mention that it's almost an inch thick (doesn't sound that bad until you have it right in front of you. I can post pictures for comparison to my Xoom or Nexus S if you're familiar with either.

I'm not 100% but I can guess what the nexus is like - pictures would be appreciated buddy!

Cheers, I see what you mean about the thickness... doesn't look much thicker than my classic though thinking about it? Guess the speaker on it's crap.

Newest photo's Nexus 4 spot in The Netherlands

Hi guys,
I thought you would find this interesting. There are 4 new photo's spotted by someone who shot them in a Media Markt/Saturn somewhere in The Netherlands. I found this on a Dutch site called Androidworld. Here are the photo's:

As you can see, this lucky guy managed to get and use the Nexus already. Discuss!

Probably a store manager who demo'ed it to some employees. There are additional apps, which shows at least a decent amount of time with the device. Perhaps someone carrying it around as a teaching tool?
I'm hoping it's there already though. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to go there (Heerhugowaard) and snoop around with some of the more knowledgeable-looking employees.

On my monitor it doesn't look that black, compared to the bezel. The Gnex in that sort of lighting would appear ink black.

I've heard this is the best screen for smartphones ever (on the optimus G, I guess its the same one..). So it should be amazing on blacks, whites, and everything in the middle. Oh, and super bright too!

Damn, it does indeed look like an AMOLED in terms of contrast!

Check out this table and see for yourself. It's definitely not capable of showing true black, but that was to be expected. The Nex4 does indeed sport the same screen as the [scratch Gnex, stupid me] Optimus G.
Edit: ^

Remember though, LCD screens will be blacker in light areas, but in a dark room it will show that off black we see, more like grey.

On the second photo, there's a folder named 'LG' on the homescreen. That's not bloatware is it??

Is that a typo? Surely the Nex4 is nothing like the Gnex. I, for one, will glad to see something similar to the One X, which many declare has the best screen of any smartphone.

Another brick that is way too large with a small battery

I originally was very excited about the N5, especially when it was supposed to be smaller than the N4 (which was already borderline - I would say 132mm h is the max)
But with this being another stupid brick, there is ZERO appeal - especially with such a small battery.

3000mAh =/= 2300 mAh

thats what he's saying, they should have put in a 3000mAh then.
with such a small storage, does anyone know if its supports USB OTG? cus right now thats probably the only thing making a difference for me (from the nexus 4).

they should have put in a 6000 mAh battery imo

I'm not going to ***** as long as it gets me through the day. I charge at night, and don't see why anyone else doesn't..

Obviously had enough appeal for you to take time out of your busy day to complain about what the second largest tech company in the world should do to earn your business.
With most units being sold out across the world, I'm sure "stupid" Google is laughing all the way to the bank.

It is a valid point.
Even if you want an expensive phone, there are little options.
Droid Maxx was US only, G2 is expensive. There you have the issue of lack of updates and crappy skins.
I want a phone with huge amounts of on screen time and the latest updates...

My Google Play Edition s4 is SOOO much better than my N5

I have had my N5 for a week now and its back in the box and the Play S4 takes its place, nothing about the N5 is any better than the S4 in fact its worse in available screen size, notification lights don't work and its so slippery I already dropped it twice, and the camera sucks asss, is this really the Google Flagship, I think not!!!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that the S4 has removable battery and SDcard

I had to pee today after I drank coffee, and then I had some toast. Today is a good day.

heres your answer
The screen sizes are identical but Google uses the bottom portion for its on screen controls so the screen area ends up being about 3/8" shorter than the S4, just saying that's all, maybe not everyone realises

So you think a $600 is better than a $300 phone? okay...

Is this thread one of the Samsung's marketing strategy?

Oh, and in case you weren't aware the S4 is worse in screen size then the G2 and Note 3. Just wanted to put that out there for you.

I've owned 5 different phones in the last 3 years and I haven't dropped any of them once, yet you dropped yours twice in a day. Maybe you just have sweaty hands?
