Is the Pebble worth it? I can get one for $90 at BestBuy due to .edu account and was wondering how everyone else likes it. Right now I think the design is ugly, but for $90 it's tempting to try it.
I've had mine for about 2 months. I love it. I'd say look at the apps and watch faces available for it so you can see if is something you really want.
Personally I use:

Put a slick wraps or gadget wraps on it and it doesn't look as bad

It does not look ugly at all. As stated above, put a screen protector, and a nice band on it, and it looks much better.

As standard, in my case in a black case (and I don't like the wraps), I thought it was better than I expected. I too just added a clear screen protector (XtremeGuard in my case)
For me it's the best compromise there is at the moment (always on, up to a week battery life). And to get notifications I don't miss and some detail on each notification is all I wanted from a smart watch.
Looks to me like the new standard price will fall to <$100 soon now...
In years to come you may also be happy to point to your Pebble as "old 2013 tech and the beginning of what folk though was going to be big at the time". And the Pebble is/was the most successful KickStarter project of its day. It will be something to talk about in the future, and you will have one - even if it's broken by then

The watch faces that do not need to refresh data would still operate. Mine has weather, calendar, etc; it would show "Loading...". I just switch to a time-only face. That said, I configured my phone to lock, re-enable sounds if the watch is away from the phone. It's convenient not having to unlock the phone 95% of the time.

I really like mine.. I got a new band for it and I think that makes it look a lot better and its more comfortable . I use it a lot while driving and I want to read a message, or while Im working and I don't want to take my phone out if my hands are dirty. I love getting hockey scores on it and all that stuff while Im out and don't want to look at my phone.

It's really easy. Let's say each piece of information on the watch face is an "element". An element is composed of a text box (what text/header you want to literally see on the screen), and a dynamic data parameter. Use the editor (pencil icon) to help you out with the data parameter; it'll already be formatted for you with the correct syntax. That's all. I guarantee it'll take most people less than 2 minutes to figure out.

It makes a lot of since to have have both apple or both android. You can use your purchased apps on both devices from the same company. But you can't use your ios apps on your android and your android apps on ios. You would have to buy them all over again.
That display is really something to behold. Never seen anything like it before. Would I buy one? Nope. Would I buy an Android tablet? Nope. I have 0 use for both of them at this point.

Just like the rest of the iDrones, ooh look it is shiny, look at the pretty colors and lights, and I only have to sign my bank account, soul, and first born child over to crapple? Sign me up! Morons!
Give crapple 500+ dollars,
Get higher screen res than is actually needed,
Tablet overheats and shuts down,
Firmware fix will just slow down CPU reducing performance,
Pay crapple hundreds more dollars for apps that aren't actually worth it,

Hey, I'm looking to upgrading my phone after, sadly, giving up with WP7. I love Windows Phone 7, but starting to lose all hope with the lack of apps it has It's a HTC 7 Pro, my phone before it was a HTC Touch Pro. Before that I had a Sony Ericsson w850i, which, at that time, had an amazingly good speaker quality and volume.
Now I really like the iPhone, insanely good speaker quality, loud, fast and decent quality HD camera. It would absolutely suit my needs - However I really want to give Android a go. I was looking into the Sony xperia V or the samsung galaxy s3. Can someone let me know if either of these phones are as good as the iPhone, requirement-wise? (See my requirements below) Otherwise please recommend me a phone which match these requirements. Thanks very much!
- Very loud, decent quality speaker with audible bass (very much like on the iPhone - or better if possible!)
- High quality HD recording (again, like on the iPhone)
- Must be Android
- Great processor (1GHz+?), good with multi-tasking and a nice phone to 'show off'

I don't like Apple products or the iPhone, it's too limited, and you can't use development functions on it. The iPhone is amazing when it comes to the speaker quality, camera quality, but that's about it. Android can do everything an iPhone can do pretty much, and more, hence why I asked for a recommendation.
But if everyone recommends the S3, then I'll be getting that! Thank you very much.
Wait for the s4

d) HTC one s+
definitely the Note II,
i've had the Gnex, the s3, and the Note II, and note is the best, awesome battery life, and raw power.
as long as you can handle the size, but once you get used to it everything else seems so miniscule lol
but yeah, if not, just get the s3, because a nexus 4 is way too hard to find.
My advice is to do what I and many others do: waiting for the S4 or the Xperia Z.
Hey guys, today at work I discovered something with my nexus 7 I'll do a video maybe later
The thing I discovered is : under the right top corner and a bit on top of the left bottom corner there are 2 magnets sensors and when you put 2 magnets on those the screen will turn off, and if you put them down it will turn on by itself
I have 2 magnets on my case for the n7 that I bought on eBay and I just discovered them

Not everybody can know everything... I didn't know about the magnet feature until a couple of months ago. It's not exactly highlighted as a major selling point by Google/Asus.
I only recently discovered, that by LONG-PRESSING the back button whilst in the AOSP browser in the ROM I'm currently running, it brings up the BOOKMARKS/HISTORY screen... this isn't documented anywhere, as far as I know.
So it's to martinko23's credit, that he/she has taken the ribbing with good grace and humour... and I'd rather info (even blindingly obvious info - for some), be made known... for those who don't know.

Galaxy S5 has leaked today, a few hours from the UNPACKED event. This will give you an idea of what to expect at the event today.
Not much has changed from S4 in terms of design though, which is a disappointment. And it still looks like it's made out of some type of plastic and not even faux leather!
The UI is a little bit different and is much flatter.
The camera is 16MP. It is yet to be seen if it's the ISOCELL tech. Also, UHD recording is present.
According to calculations done by somebody, the battery is 2800 MAh, and it looks just the same as the one on the Galaxy Round.
There is also a Fingerprint scanner on-board, possibly only a Swipe type which is located on the home button.
Menu key has been replaced with multitask key and there is a weird sensor near the camera flash (iris scanner probably). EDIT: It is a Heart Rate Monitor

It is disappointing to me too. I expected a radically changed design this time around.
It looks worse than Hyperglaze or Faux leather. And the white one looks like Styrofoam.
But maybe there will be a premium "Prime" version too. There are leaks about such a possibility.

They seem to be just throwing in a good SoC, Camera, display and bloatware and not bothering about the build quality!
I stuck with my phone (iPhone 4) since 2010. I really want a new device an I'm waiting for every press event from Samsung, Sony, Apple and others. But the leaked pictures are very disappointing. Again...
My preference is for the Note 3
That design team needs to be fired ASAP. I hope the press this time criticizes negatively Samsung with no mercy.

this is a question that will never be answered. Some car designs for example are absolutely awful - who comes up with the designs and the fact they actually get mass produced is beyond me.

More of the same. Feels like im reliving the Apple's Keynote Iphone announcements.

Which one did you order? And I'm assuming you ordered it straight from Pebble? I'm interested in the brown leather/silver watch. I wish Best Buy had this option in store but it looks like they are only carrying the black/black. I'm kinda waiting for them to release so that I can see more hands-on and real world vids on YouTube and such about this watch. If It was $150 I wold have already pre-ordered, but at $250 I want to do a bit more research. They do have the 30-day return policy which is nice on Pebble.

I ordered the same one. Even at $250 I didn't mind. Pebble smart watches suit me the most. I've tried a handful of smart watches and ways go back go my original pebble even though I think it's ugly. I just never liked the previous designs. I love the moto 360's look but am not a fan at all of Android wear. So when this was released it almost looked like pebble remade the moto 360 so I was sold.
What functionality/design are you looking for? If you're not sure it couldn't hurt to try a couple and return them after a week or so.

That ring around the outer edge of the screen is not... screen right? It's just a fixed piece of ... material? Not e-Ink? Every single picture I see of the Pebble Time has it so I assume it doesn't change.
Just got my PTS a few days ago after paying $250 and waiting 6 months.. Are they going to be offering a free upgrade or something? Are they seriously asking for another $250 for this?
Mine finally came in and I like it very much. It is very sleek and I was astonished at how light it is compared to some of the other smartwatches I've used. For sake of comparison I've owned the OG Pebble, Samsung Gear S2 Classic and the Moto 360. I think the black design of the round is kind of ugly but the silver with the leather band is quite nice. Oh and the quick charging works very well so far, we'll see how it goes with time. I just charge it while I shower and I've yet to have an issue with battery life. Let me know if you guys want pictures or have questions ^_^

I'm still waiting for mine, so I'd love to see pics and reviews, and what apps work with it so far. I'm waiting for the small silver with silver band. So far no sign of it at all...

Awesome! Mine it supposed to arrive Saturday. I can't wait already. This will be my first smartwatch. I did end up going with the sliver/nubuck band.
I have been using it for a little while now and I will tell you all what I found.
Design
I am a big fan of this watch I think it looks great. I also love the band, even though people knocked the included leather band, I found it extremely comfortable. It is easier to put on and feels far more comfortable than the included band for the Moto 360, OG Pebble, or even the Gear S2 Classic.
I think the main element that is drawing me to this watch is since it is so thin it is the most comfortable to wear throughout the day. It is easily the best looking of all the Pebbles (in my opinion). The only downside I see with the design is since it is so thin there is not as much room for the buttons. I find that I am pressing these buttons inadvertently throughout my day. All the sudden my Pebble will start the music on my phone randomly ( this happened only twice in one week). So that is one downside. The other is I feel like I have slightly big wrists so the smaller watch face size feels slightly out of place. Other than those two minor complaints, Pebble knocked it out of the park with this one.
Software
If you've used other Pebble Time iterations there isn't too much of a surprise here. It runs well, the animations are amazing, and I am a big fan of Timeline. It was every so slightly slow. coming from the lightning fast Gear S2 Classic I feel like I have to wait for the software to catch up. However, the Pebble's software is far more stable than the Gear. I had my Gear fail to respond to messages, update information and other annoyances during my time with it. I never had to worry about the Pebble not working.
I do wish that Pebble included a stock way to create text messages. At the moment you can only reply. So I use Pebble Dialer's third part app to alleviate this. It is not a perfect solution however.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well the voice features worked. I was worried it would never understand me, but is actually more accurate than my Gear S2 Classic. Not all the developers made round versions of their apps though, I will attach some pictures later of what apps are available. I do want to say that I never had a problem finding apps I wanted to use. All of the things I want on my smartwatch I had available to me. Hopefully more developers will update their apps to work with the Round.
Battery
I was a little disappointing in that the battery got neutered. What I was pleasantly surprised to learn though is how quickly it charges. I wear this watch every day and go to sleep with it. I run Morpheuz's sleep tracking all night when I wake up it usually has around 20-30% left. Not quite enough for another full day but I put the Pebble on the charger and shower. When I get out of the shower I am at 100%. So effectively, I am never worried about charging it. Now this means you will have to include your charger for long trips but this is not a big deal for me.
Conclusion
Overall, I find this watch extremely capable. I am sure you will all love it.
