Is the Nexus 7 one of the most of the anxious devices you have purchased?
Is the Nexus 7 one of the most of the anxious devices you have purchased?
For me, yes

I answered yes but mostly because it's the first thing I've ever pre-ordered, which instantly makes it the longest I've ever had to wait to receive a shiny new toy.

Second most anxious device (after Nexus One).

I dunno, but when I get mine I'll ask it.

As anxious as when I first got my iPad 1

Don't know. Google hasn't specified it's anxiousness so hard to say . I am anxious about receiving it though

I hope it isn't too anxious because I have no idea how I would safely administer Valium to it. I'm fairly happy to be getting it though.

More anxious than when I was going to get my iPad

first real android tablet!! waiting is killing me!

I don't pre-order stuff because I'm very impatient, this is the first time I've pre ordered anything and the wait it is killing me.

I specified that I wanted one that was already on Xanax.

I am always anxious to get ANY new device

Dunno if anything will ever exceed the happiness of me getting my first USR 28K Sportster modem as a kid. Partly because it was the most expensive thing I ever bought with my paper route money.

I'm a early adopter and love my gadgets. Maybe the original Palm Pilot had the most anticipation for me followed by my first iPhone.
I was telling my wife last night about reading on Compuserve that the Palm Pilot was in stores, calling Circuit City and begging the guy to hold one for me for and hour. I called my boss and told him I had a personal emergency and went to get my Pilot.
I won't need to call off work to get my Nexus, I work at GameStop.

I'm pretty excited but a new toy is always exciting

Ever preorder thread has been like this. The tf101 preorder thread was intense, for example.

I called my boss once and said I had a flat when I was picking up my INT S2 the day they were available here in PR..
Waited eagerly for my upgrade time to get my Galaxy Nexus..
And the wait for the Nexus 7 is killing me..
Kind of off topic but check your PMS

I am pretty excited about this tablet. I got an HP touchpad last year and loved it, especially after I got cm 7 on it then cm 9. When I got my girl the kindle fire I fell in love with the size of it and the price of it but not really the specs. The nexus 7 will be perfect for me.

Does anyone have them in stock?

Went to local AT&T store for Note 3 + Gear. Got the Note, but the store didn't have any watches.
When I left, I called the one closer to work - they got some today but already sold out. Guess I picked the wrong store. I spend a while calling AT&T & T-Mobile stores around - nada. Even tried BB & RS - no luck there. Tried T-Mobile online, also all sold out.
Is this a real bad roll out, or is someone hoarding all the watches?

Bad Roll out. But Samsung always has these , I wonder if there was any hesitation on Sammys part given the atrocious reviews some people had.
It seemed like people were downright offended by this product.

The only one I have ever seen is the one I own. Never set eyes on one in a store etc? Note 3, yes, the Gear not a whiff? No idea why? Without the Note 3 the Gear is useless at present? Some very odd marketing with Samsung. This is nothing new in this country for this company though.

Samsung is being weird.
I think reviewers online and many potential customers were offended by the price. When it was discovered that the notifications were useless for anything other than Messaging/Email sites and there comments were full of bashing. For $300 people expected alot more....or maybe Samsung is getting backlash from iPhone fanboys ??
I dont know but people are bashing the Gear and its price tag everywhere.
Honestly if this was 150$-200$ OR if it worked the way people thought...reviews would be a little better.

If you compare what is on the market at present the Samsung is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of technology, functionality and software. I have said this many times and will write it again IF its fact the gear has a sapphire crystal that would well justify the price. You don't find sapphire crystals on watches costing 300.00€
I have niggles about the gear as well BUT would not dream of purchasing the Sony branded watches nor the others and I collect watches.
The Gear can make and receive calls and sms's that is a major selling point. If I can manage to get S-voice working wi fi free (the manual says it only needs blue tooth) I would be more satisfied as driving the car one need not takes ones eyes of the road to make nor receive calls My doubts lie in other areas like the strap and clasp. having written that there are no better in that regard either?
New technology is always expensive. Wait for the iWatch that will bring iTears to ones eyes. One other point, the price will have dropped like a stone within a few months in any case.

in the UK the galaxy gear is £300
300 British Pound Sterling equals
482.01 US Dollar
if its 300 us dollar now that cheap, bloody uk always more

Best buy Conway Arkansas
Best buy in Conway Arkansas has the gear. Only in gray. Love this watch. Best Buy also honored t mobiles 25% off coupon. Got it for $260.......

After way too much digging, I finally found one. Best Buy has some little cell stores in the area, but they showed on BB's store search (click item & search stores to see who has it).
At the store, they told me they got 5 the night before & sold 1 before mine. (They got 3 black, 2 white)
Why this little store had them when the full BB's had no clue what I was talking about... I have no idea.

I got mine for 225 amd couldn't be happier. Too bad I have to wait for the note 3 but it works fine with my s 4 just wish I didnt have to go back to this phone. Im gonna see if I download all the samsung stuff on an htc one with stock android if it will work which I highly doubt it will.

This Samsung launch was rather smooth compared to the Apple launch.
My store got one Gear in and it sold fairly quickly. Pretty impressive device.

Just picked a Mocha-colored unit from the local Ann Arbor, MI Bestbuy store. I haven't worn a watch in years and now am wearing one because of Gear! I don't know why some people don't think this watch is nice looking. It looks just fine to me, definitely having the quality and stylish look.
I'm trying it out right now but so far, so good.

Nice . .are you in USA?

The pundits have been proven wrong many times before.
Technology pundits are worse than movie critique pundits- much more biased.
I was on the fence about this device initially after reading so many reviews, but I'm so glad that I gave myself a chance to try it out for a few days. I like it so much that I will not return it back to BB but instead keep using it most likely.
I think this watch has a great potential to be a successful product, if Samsung can follow up with some needed software updates.
The hardware is quite acceptable as Samsung has done an admirable job on it.

The best part is that the updates will come straight from Samsung and not delayed through the carriers.

Bought my gear Friday and love it so far. I'm keeping mine.

I like mine too.
I am surprised by the negative reviews. Wondering if they all got a beta sample to test?

I am keeping mine too. Much better than the pebble

galaxy note 3 now Free

Anyone returning?

After hearing today that the galaxy gear 2 will be released in March/April, I was thinking of returning my original gear... I got it as a gift for Christmas and have until Jan 15th to return it. I have a feeling the next one will be a lot better and don't want to be stuck with one that I can't sell for half the retail in March... Anyone have an opinion on this or thinking the same way? Just curious... Thanks.

I would not count on the next-generation coming out that quickly. Watch the CES news this week and you will see that Samsung did not announce anything, and if it is only 2 to 3 months away, why wouldn't they have?

If I had the receipt, I would return it! I got it for xmas from my parents. I'm almost certain they paid the full $300 price too. I'm not going to ask my parents to return, or exchange it though. I believe it's the thought that counts when it comes to gifts. My parents hit a home run when it came to picking this out for me. Everyone says "That watch is definitely me" because of my passion for technology and android. But in my opinion this device isn't worth the money spent on it now. I'm not going to rant negative comments about it. But thing about this. The price has drastically dropped since it was just released last year. Imagine how much it will drop when the next version comes out in a couple of months! This thing won't be worth a darn.

It was announced today by a high samsung executive. Google it. It's all over the internet. They said that the s5 and gear 2 would be announced and released like the s4 was last year. The s4 wasn't released at the CES last year either... that's how they roll with the s series.

I got mine for $150 so I can't complain. If the new one comes out, I'll definitely sell it and get the newer version. Although I am extremely content with this.

absolutely no need to return it. we are months away from the potential release and we don't know any details yet. when it's out i'll see the differences and then decide if it's worth upgrade. somehow i have a feeling that they will remove the camera this time..

I know once the new one comes out and the price for the original drops I'll actually buy it. I've wanted one to go with seanzscreams sky note air n3 rom for the note 2 for a few now but I'm not spending 250-300 on a watch with limited functionality and support. Once it is in the 150-200 range then it'll be worth it for a lot of people.
Did you thank your Developer today?

I have until the 17th to return mine and I think I will. After reading that the gg2 will have lots of extra features and be slimmed down its a no brainer for me.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Not planning on it. Nothing wrong with my Gear so far, and I keep saying that if my G1 still worked I'd still be using it.

Keeping mine also. With null and my note 2 on n3bula I see no reason to return. Just like I'm passing on the note 3. Maybe I'll jump at third generation and note 4. But I look at it this way. There's always going to be the next hot toy. One after another. With all the devs and their amazing work I'm very content to skip a generation. ..

I for one would be HIGHLY pissed off if Sammy came out with a Gear 2 without fulling developing the Gear 1. The Gear at it present state is nothing more than a beta product needing a lot of something else. If this is all it's going to be, I'm gonna be disappointed.

i bought it 2-3 weeks ago and have 30 days to return it. i am going to keep it. it is more than i expected from Round 1 and with NULL and now the Add On Mod i feel it was worth the $300. heck a cheap Fossil costs more than $100 just to tell you the time.
i also would LOVE for the Gear 2 to be released next month or July or asap. if its better i will buy it and sell the Gear 1.
i do not and will not get upset about buying anything electronic for like $300 and then a newer model comes out. its pointless anger and is going to happen whether i like it or not.
bring on G2

Return it.
Sit and wait.
Maybe the gear 2 is available in april.
Then sit and wait until August because it will maybe released a gear 2s.
Then wait 3-4 months for the gear 3.
Have fun waiting for everything fun in life.
Seriously. If you got one and thinking of returning it just to wait for the next generation then I think the gear 2 want live up to your expectations regarding new features.
But we Norwegians don't wait for next version because it dont kost more than filling up the car with gas 2 times.
We change phones very often, but I have to say that there isn't much difference to day when you're using 3rd party launchers and apps.
It's like getting the old phone in slightly different case with little more speed.
The only difference in new phones is that some 3rd party features are adapted into standard, but you already had it on the old phone.
The price in Norway are 390 dollar.
Maybe you can sell it here.

I just may keep mine.
It's a great device. I could see them putting in some kind of a heart monitor, or GPS, maybe a front facing camera? But I don't think you're going to get to radical with it. I'm not sure that they will put in wifi, that will chew up too much battery.
My biggest gripe with this is that it's somewhat heavy, and by the end of the day I do get a little numbness with it on the inside my wrist. Getting something that's a little later would definitely improved comfort.
So my last comment on this is that this is about evolutionary, or revolutionary. And I think the gear 1 is revolutionary! Apple probably going to put out the same crap with the same functionality and charge $500 for it. Gear2 will be evolutionary, with little improvements. Not major. Bigger Change will come in a year or two years, just my 2 cents.

I'll think about it when it's more than an unsubstantiated tidbit posted by a single website phishing for click-throughs.

The chances of Tizen coming to Gear 1 are a hovering around the Zero mark. There's no reason for Samsung to develop another OS for it as far as I can see.

It's got a good chance considering this watch was only released little more than 6 months ago.
Samsung products always get at least one major update.
Especially when you consider the price of this thing ($299), people would be pissed to the point of boycotting and cause a HUGE PR Stink that would DESTROY Samsung's Smart Watch market before it's begun if they discontinue support in under 6 months.
What a joke that'd be. lmao

Hoping you are correct. What you wrote makes great sense. Getting Gear 2 and my son gets the Galaxy Gear, so would be great if he got Tizen and many more app choices down the road.
