Galaxy gear...to get or not

Is it worth it? Would be nice at work if I didn't have to pull my note 3 out every time I get a text or email....I receive 50-100 texts a day. Any info would be excellent....thx in advance

$225 at tmo is not a bad price

Do you have to be a t mobile subscriber to get that price?

With great respect only you can answer that. The online operating manual is now available for the Sony site. I would suggest you go read it and see if it will perform what you expect of a smart watch or not. Ones mans trash is another mans gold etc..........
Regards.

Thanks...you are correct about what "I" expect from the device. As long as it sends all my texts and emails I'll be good. I work in a dirty factory and hate pulling out my phone

I have it and its ok you can see the text but you cant answer text and you cant respond to text like other smart watches i might return it after a week, theres not many apps either im kinda disappointed

You can reply to anything using s-voice no on-board keyboard. Loving this thing so far and the phone is a big improvement over the note2 (and I loved that phone too).
Absolutely room for improvement and not many apps.. yet. Patience people.

Still waiting 4 stocks here in saudi would like to see demo units

The SMS and Email notifications work great on Gear.
Gmail and Facebook notifications need to work like the above two to be useful and they aren't yet.
Gear seriously needs a calculator app, including a tip calculation function. It's mind boggling that they didn't include one already.
It would also be nice to have a compass function but not sure whether it can support that or not.

can you share a picture taken from great and upload straight to Facebook

Not from the Gear directly, but you can quite easily transfer to the smartphone and then, share from the phone.

its growing on me but it needs playstore access its so good but its bad. the speaker phone is unbelievable the viewing of text is great and this is the best s voice i ever used and i hate s voice, but the bad is the apps the apps is horrible. it needs three things 1. the ability to answer a text with a built in keyboard. 2. Play store access. 3. micro sd slot. If I could get 1 and 2 Ill be happy other than that Im probably going to return it based on google announcement on oct 31

BBM for android is here!

I'm already in. If you had it sent to your Gmail, it might get caught up in your spam like mine did.

Good to know. I'll have to double check on that, thanks for the tip.

Any one else notice a pattern for all the reviews for this app.
"Thank you so much BlackBerry team. I was waiting this app. Its really great user friendly and smooth."

They are working with Google to remove these fake reviews

Oddly enough, I was able to sign up without getting the email by just putting my email into the app for a second time.

Bypass email or queue wait for BBM activation
Do not wait for Email confirmation/ or do not wait for blackberryto put you on the top of the queue. Simply use your friend's email address who has activated BBM. Then on screen 2 use your own email id to create new BB ID.

Got in today; the turnaround seems to only be a day or so. Now, to find others who are already here.......
Was trying to get my wife on this app; she has always said the one thing BB did right was the messaging app. Meanwhile, I did a fresh ROM install and now the app won't get past setup. Uninstalled....

Why does everyone want BBM what is the benefit of it over other means on android?

Dunno, none of my friends are on it so I already uninstalled

Pretty sure that hangouts will come fully to the gear... Its Google's most important toll near future. and Samsung will help there, hoe so too

i'm pretty sure gear is pretty much dead for samsung. they never really cared about it since day one.
the only reason to get one is only because of custom rom. i installed hangout on it and tethered it to my phone and now i have fully running hangout on mobile. i can read and reply to messages and so.
samsung did not even bother to let us use onscreen keyboard to reply texts, why on earth would you think they would be working on hangout for it?

we both know that the way about tethering all stuff will not be the reason for long time. there will arrive a custom rom from somebody which will let function the gear with roms without touchwiz. Then we will see if samsung will wait till google watch arrive or they will open up something. surely both opnions could arrive. for now, samsungs watch is there and living.

Gear showing Picture ID on phnoe call

I just saw a Samsung add on FB and it showed a gear getting a call with picture ID. does anyone know if the Gear can do this or is it good Photoshop on the add.

Yes as long as you have a picture set for the person that is calling you there picture will show on the watch.

Not that I know of. When I set my watch up the first phone call I got had a picture of the person calling. Do any of the pictures you have set up already show up on your phone screen when the person calls?

Ah man another thing doesn't work for me. Guess it's because I am using my gear with a nexus 5. Mine doesn't even show the persons name. Just the number.

Pictures do work on the watch. It seems to be sporadic IMO. I havent really paid attention to the pattern. I dont know if its a resolution issue or if the pic has to be linked to a certain account on the phone or what. The Samsung kiosk in Best Buy in my area was useless. I knew more about the watch than they did.

you seem to be overreacting. he simply asked how contact pictures works. there is absolutly nothing with using gear with other devices. as it has been stated before, not all functions work.

Sorry if I sounded rude. It is just that if he knows the Gear doesn´t get full functionality with his Nexus, then why is he wondering why he doesnt get caller id and photo.... It is pretty obvious it is for lack of compatibility.

In my case, installing all apks on my htc one (except weather and music, obiusly),extracted from gear manager apk i can see the names of my contacts when they call me. I haven't photos with my contacts to try it

Thank you both for useful posts / help! I re installed the apks from gear manager 1.5 and now works - I have caller ID and photos.
I think I must have missed one apk when installing the first time.
Now to try ang get notifications to work.
