$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

Do you really think Samsung would release the gear 2 3 months after releasing the original gear? I say AT LEAST 6 months before another one is released.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 4

Yes , apparently Samsung is working on another.
Either rumor can be true or false.
A. A cheaper version without the camera and maybe other sacrifices.
B. Another version with an updated UI possible flexible display.

Yeh they though it was flop
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

The fact that they are working on a gear 2 means nothing in terms of launching date. It can be starting the design for all we know. No reason to believe on a jan launch. At least I don't think it's going to happen.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I also heard they are planning to release one not too far off the original's launch. I don't remember where I saw that tho.

They always overlap development to allow regular releases. But the Gear is still their "first"
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Stupid rumors going around about S5, Note 4, Gear 2... they're not releasing new stuff just a few months later, not happening. The nearest blip on the radar is probably S5 with a Spring 2014 release.

There was a rumour a few weeks ago where a Samsung source said they were looking to move the Gear 2 release up to January in response to the negative feedback on the Gear.
Whether that's true or not remains to be seen.
I'm keen to get the Gear, but the recent issues with moisture in the camera lens is putting me off. I live in Thailand, so humidity is an issue, plus I'm frequently going from humid outside to cold air conditioned indoors.
Plus, I sweat a lot...
I think I'll wait to see whether the lens moisture is a problem in more humid climates and if it is, wait for Gear 2.

I got one for Christmas and am kinda disappointed so far. Got it connected but the functionality sucks without all of Samsung's bloatware. Lack of weather no camera uploads no extra apps. Whatnot.
I'm not sure if I want to ROM the watch it give it the full android feel. Plus I love gear managers watch faces.
Is there way I can give the full functionality on 4.4? I'm even willing to download a little bit of bloat.
I just found a ROM that really works for me and it makes me sad to have to lose it.
Please help. I need some direction!

Got one from my wife for Christmas... Haven't really had any time to set it up... Any pointers? (I will read the forums a little later)

Got one from my father for Christmas. Really happy with it so far. Used the camera a lot

I'm loving mine, had it 4~5 days. I'm not sure I want to run null. #1, my eyes are too old to make it worthwhile, xda or g+ on that screen...really?
So while I'm not opposed to rooting and I'm amazed with what Fomey has done with null, can you give me a good reason for null? I'm looking for a good reason, lol.

what do you like about touchwiz? everyone use their gear differently, but i really hated these black and white icons, and you couldn't change how many icons at the same time are displayed.. so if you want to go to voice memos for example, you had to swipe so many pages just to get to that app. i can't stand that. to this day, there is only one custom rom by fomey (bless you). i wouldn't even consider keeping the gear if not the custom ROM. samsung ****ed up big (not the first and not the last time).

As for the face and font colors, I'm sure Samsung will update it with more colors in customization in the future.
Adding more color plates....it is a piece of cake from the technical point of view! :silly:

I got mine a week early and have been loving it since I got it. I think more would get it, if it cost less. It is a very cool and useful watch.

Seems more appropriate to say "moving" to s5.. since it's not out n all. Also.. it's a new phone, that's reason enough lol. I've never understood how people can keep the same phone for 2 years. Ugg.... I sell mine and buy something different ever 3 or 4 months. And I always get the latest flagship from HTC or samsung. Simply because it's the latest flahship.

If you sell your phone while it still has value, and you got it on an upgrade offer, you can make enough to support a new phone every few months
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

I am coming from my Galaxy Nexus that I have had for almost 2 years, I still love my nexus but am due for an upgrade since november and have been holding out for the S5 as long as it isn't completely screwed up

I will be coming from an S2 running Shostock 3. I really do not need a new phone as mine is working perfectly, but I waited out the S3 and the S4 so I figured with this new Jump program from At&T I would look into the S5. But as much as I want it, if the price is not right for me I will keep my old reliable and wait a little longer

From Note 3, please! please!! please!!! Samsung, Blow me away! I need 64bit and fingerprint scanner at the least to shut up those pesky iDevices users.

Why would you have to "reconfigure" anything? As soon as you sign into your Google account on a new phone all contacts and settings are synced, emails are setup and all is well.
Do you not use Google to setup your contact lists and emails? If you really do have 17 email accounts, you can have Google manage them. All emails will go to your primary gmail account, when you respond to an email that came from one of those accounts, it will automatically use the address it was sent to as the outgoing address. People who correspond with you will have no idea you responded from your primary address.
When I get a new phone, I sign in to my Google account and within a few minutes,
Other than having new hardware, it's identical to the old phone. Sometimes smart phones need "smart" users.

Dont look like they are running tinzen os then?

Evleaks is now saying that these watches are not Galaxy branded. So it seems Samsung is presumably just going to run with the Gear branding.
This is from gsmarena.com

Yep, these are probably the Gear 2 and Gear Neo... later will probably be the Gear Fit. I'm glad it doesn't look too different from my Gear watch... as I'm not ready to shell out more loot yet.
Digging the physical home button and new camera placement though.
Skype, anyone?

Tizen on the new gear is a dead nogo imediately for me that is, I can imagine no apps for this thing and since tizen dont have an app store tell me how will we sideload apps from google play to it? The whole point was to make it slimmer and better. It looks the same. Looks thick like the gear and now its running tizen? Hell nah. Ill have to test it out and look more into it for me to buy it. Considering tizen is the os. I think I'll stick with my gear
