Yup, was just about to reply to what you. haha but they have these kind of watches already. They sell a lot on eBay and some are good. Its just Bluetooth paired so you don't have to take out your phone. Makes you look like inspector gadget. Plus, I think thinkgeek.com has some too. I like the shirt that lets you know when wifi is near and how strong of signal.

Every shipping date they've previously stated has been missed. Although they seem to be quite insistent that they will start shipping "soon". They haven't told any personal customers any actual shipping dates. But Expansys seem to think that they'll be able to sell some from mid-April.

Maybe before you give other people punctuation lessons, you should learn to spell. ANYHOW is one word.....just saying.

The site was updated this april and the price is now 340 € from where it was 300€ before too mich expensive. But the problem isno body had recieved yet. They promise to send the watches a year ago..

I saw a preview of this watch and OS looks sluggish with android 1.6...2.3 would of been better. The Motorola ACTV watch looked way smoother, and it's rooted already i think lol..

Couldn't this be easily accomplished with apps on the iphone and, say, an ipod nano?

any update on this watch?

why would you do all that on a tiny ass screen? a watch is a watch and leave it at that.
you will always carry a phone anyway so all those things u do on your watch is irrelevant

One S vs SIII

'sup folks.
This thread is dedicated to my lovely wife who just couldn't make up her mind between One S ("kinda looks nice"), Galaxy SIII ("oh nice screen"), and iPhone5 ("when is it coming out? my 3GS feels old"). And between all 3 of them, "can i unlock them?" (in Canada, phones are locked to their ISP, so if I buy it from, say, Rogers, I can't just pop another SIM card from, say, Bell.)
So what do u guys think?
Personally, I'm an Android guy through and through. Can't fix it? Find a ROM to restore it. Boot another ROM. Root it on day one. So iPhone is out of the question. But I tend to like the look of One S better than SIII. and i had good experience with HTC phones. and SIII costs $100 more.
But she's been using iPhone3GS, love the simplicity, has no idea what 'rooting' is and why its necessary no matter how many times I explained that it's necessary for TiBackup to work... But she plays around with my Nexus7 and loves to stream Korean drama and check Facebook with it. And last time we went to Costco she saw the SIII on display and goes "oh wow, that's a nice screen. does it work like ur Nexus? I kinda want it." So mainly for her, OneS is the cheaper phone, but SIII's screen looks amazing, and she'll only be using her phone for;
a. take photos
b. facebook
c. browse the latest grocery flyers and baby product review
d. stream korean dramas
e. whatsapp
What do you think she should pick up? Or she should just wait for the next iPhone in a month or two?
Any input?

Well Samsung did a great job with touchwiz out of the box. Sense 4 can be a little confusing for people coming to android. If she wants a simplistic phone go for the new iPhone, but the hardware will be IMO behind the s3. Get her an s3 she'll love it.

i got my wife the S3 and she loves it.. she likes reading Korean Comics and Korean Dramas and the big screen makes it good for those.. the camera is fast so she can take pics of our 8 month old baby ..
she just asked me yesterday ... "Hey is there a way to get rid of those stupid Rogers apps?" to her response i Grinned ; > so i will be rooting her phone tonight..

Just FYI, you don't need to root to remove bloat.. You can just uninstall the updates to each app and "disable" them, essentially freezing them for good until you reenable them. They also disappear as icons when you do this, and background processes.

she'll like that. fast camera. our baby's 2mth old
we're not korean but we love korean products! (from food to technologies to dramas)(ok, im not big on dramas, she is)
how's the build and everything? i read around and looks like HTC got a better/more solid build, regardless of smaller screen.
and battery life? I saw some poor review that One S lasts not even a day even on light use.....

No expandable memory
The biggest downer for me with the one X was there is no way to increase the memory on that thing.

Get her the iPhone. Chicks dig the iPhone.
Also, saves you time trying to teach her how to use things. Less confusing.
I personally would never let my mom or dad switch over to android -- too much learning involved. Get her the iPhone. You won't get stuck with returning it

S3 all the way baby. Screen size and widescreen ratio is reason enough for her to get the s3. Also it is quite pocketable. And its the fastest phone on the planet. Camera is top notch. Plus when she is ready to upgrade she can sell the s3 for a hefty price. S3 is atleast 200$ more than one s contest free. so you lose money technically if you go with one s

I am in the same boat pretty much and came here for a thread like this.
I am an android nut for a while now, i have an GNEX with JB installed and loving it. Girlfriend has always been an iphone user, loves getting cute cases and thats all she cares about.
The '7 comes out, it was 199 so i was like WTF i will get her one for couch browsing while i am using mine. Turns out she loves the '7 and can't stand her iphone anymore. Shes begging to get the sg3 now but i know its going to be a big learning curve.
I am probably going to get it for her tonight. Its nice to see an android phone finally starting to be a cross over device and pull in the iphone users.

well at least u know its an easy decision. my wife still on the fence between One S and S III
One S owners say Siii wins in terms of storage and removable battery, but everything else is "about the same". the screen is bigger and nicer, but it comes at the cost of heavier and bigger phone due to battery size.
the One S is smaller and has metal case, but she's not too crazy with the design. she knows S III is bigger but she loves the smooth curves. but it is bigger.

The One S isn't even the competitor of the S3 it's the One X, I know in NA there is really not much difference between the One S and the One X. But the One X is the flagship model which is what the S3 is so they are the comparable phones. Also you are not just getting a better screen with the S3 you are also getting 1gig more RAM and the ability to use expandible memory.

My wife got the S3 and loves it. She got it early on pre-order from Verizon. Since then, half the nurses in her unit played with it and went out and bought one themselves.

I'd say let her decide whether she wants the new iPhone or the Galaxy S3. 60% of the women I've been with had iPhone while the other 40% had dumphones or some type of Galaxy device. Women love the big bright screen on the Galaxy phones, but they also love the iPhone because its fashionable

With the WiFi issue, he probably had the Sprint Optimizer thing turned on, so it kept trying to use WiFi based on his location. Unless there is a real issue out there, anyone have this problem?

After typing this I realized I did a play-by-play of his review
Is the main complaint he has about this phone really a complaint? I mean he bought the phone knowing that there's no 4G LTE in his area, so how can it be a complaint if he knew this from the get-go? I bought this phone knowing that there isn't 4G LTE in my area so I, for one, don't complain about it.
I also like the build of the phone, I will agree though it does feel slick at times, like it will slip out of your hands like a wet soap bar! I too put a rubberized case on my phone to give it some more grip.
I agree with BWFBezerk, it's not a WiFI bug it's (ah hem, to say it like Apple).. it's a feature... this feature can be turned off without a problem, I disabled it on my phone...
12 to 15 hours battery life with heavy use, SWEET! I don't know what is considered heavy or light use, I use my phone about the whole time I'm at work from 8-5 and when I come home my battery is at 75%, I'm running Sonic FreeS3 0.1.1 and I must admit the battery life is insanely great.. I'm guessing his is stock ROM... I thought he said the battery life is definite "NO" not "GO" haha, my bad
SuperAMOLED is, in my opinion, the best screen ever... this is why I continue to get Samsung phones... from the Samsung Moment, to the Samsung Galaxy S II and now the Samsung Galaxy S III
As far as the speakers go, man I wish we had a front facing speaker for when viewing videos on the phone..
His case is sweet looking, my case has a kickstand on it too and it allows me to prop it up landscape and portrait
I'll have to agree with him, I really like the TouchWiz on this phone too... even thought I have a custom ROM on it, I only have that ROM on because it keeps the phone as stock as possible. One thing I didn't like about the stock TouchWiz though is the fact that the quicksetting automatically scrolled to the right.
Use the power button to get the recently used apps? Did he miss identify the button?
You know that 2 is more than 1, man I like this guy, he's doing a great review... I like how it's raw and uncut... real world as he says... no LINPack and all that...
I might have to hack my home button, I never use S-Voice anyway..
Direct Call is a definite GO!
Tap to Top, thanks for the explanation!
I can never get my screenshot to work swiping my palm from right to left, I can only get it to work from left to right... haha
I use Task Manager daily
This is a really good review, thanks for posting the link!

He has all the iPhones, I don't know if he'll review the iPhone 5. He said it's still too small for him. He only reviews phones he buys himself. Nobody sending the phones to him to review or anything. Check out the review he did for the iPhone 4s. There's 3 parts to that video.

Probably not, since cases also don't fit without a bit of surgery.
I'm interested why you want the keyboard though. My previous Tablet was the Asus TF101 which came with the keyboard and additional battery. As I used it more, I found that the KB was a pain. It made the device heavier and more cumbersome, I have a laptop for typing on so why did I want a much less capable tablet to do the same thing.
As soon as I saw the Note, I thought that's the one for me - No keyboard, light, good speed and I can write on it. Awesome device

I suspect you''ll see more Samsung GN10.1 accessories available in the US now that the Verizon LTE version was launched at CES. The Verizon product will have JB 4.2 and is apparently why the US market hasn't seen any official updates . Pressed about the 8013 update to JB during a taped on stage interview by Engadget, Samsung's Ryan Biden said the OTA update is coming "soon." I suspect accessories available elsewhere will become available too, Verizon wants the bells and whistles for the 10.1 it will start selling later this month and there's no reason for Samsung to continue to drag their feet on accessories now that Verizon's branded tablet has been officially announced.

Ok folks bring it on.

I want y'all to convince me as to why I should get a note 2. I like to hear from the one's who owned a s3 and went to that note 2 also the one's who skipped the s3 and just went for the note 2. I'm thinking about selling my s3 on eBay for this phone. Just like to know of it's really worth it.
Anyone wants to make a Harlem shake video with me?

Nobody needs to convince you. Go to the sprint store and play with their demo for 15-20 mins, use the stylus the whole time.
You'll get your answer better that way because it IS a sizable size difference to hold and that's the biggest issue I've found so far. But I'm getting use to it darn quickly. ha

very easily, this.
just to reiterate, my 2 cents:
the size was only weird for about 2 days, now it feels mostly normal.
but the battery, the CPU, the screen? all big points to win with.
runs All day with Heavy use (games, chat, SMS/MMS, music, +plus all the other stuff), and some to spare for when i get home
(the only exception to this would be using Nav, but you should be powering your phone when doing that anyway...)
never stutters, never lags, runs every damn thing i throw at it, and sometimes two things at once. aaaaaaa. mazing.
movies/youtube look fan-freaking-tastic on it. pictures look fantastic. games look fantastic. reading feeds/pages/docs/anything at all, fantastic.
again, as far as the size goes?
got in a little tete-a-tete with some iFan on gizmodo about it:
Me said:
every single iPhone user that sees my Note2 wants it. not one exception yet.
even the 2 guys helping me in the Apple store wanted it.
not only do I get the envy of every single iPhone user, I also get the personal satisfaction of knowing my device is hands-down the top of the line in tech specs.
you can pretend to laugh at the size all you like, but Apple has not "innovated" crap in two years.

well i came from the s3 to the note 2. at first it felt really big in my hands but after like 2 days i use use my wifes s3 and im like dang this screen is too small lol! anyways pull the trigger you wont regret it. the s pen makes this device better than the s3 by itself but you will notice the faster processor and netflix is really enjoyable on this thing. i was going to get a 7 inch tablet but now i don't need it.

S3 is for women lol

very easily, this.
just to reiterate, my 2 cents:
the size was only weird for about 2 days, now it feels mostly normal.
but the battery, the CPU, the screen? all big points to win with.
runs All day with Heavy use (games, chat, SMS/MMS, music, +plus all the other stuff), and some to spare for when i get home
(the only exception to this would be using Nav, but you should be powering your phone when doing that anyway...)
never stutters, never lags, runs every damn thing i throw at it, and sometimes two things at once. aaaaaaa. mazing.
movies/youtube look fan-freaking-tastic on it. pictures look fantastic. games look fantastic. reading feeds/pages/docs/anything at all, fantastic.
again, as far as the size goes?
got in a little tete-a-tete with some iFan on gizmodo about it:

That was awesome! I skipped the s3. Originally had evo4g. Great phone, but nothing matches this beast.
My wife used to laugh at me as she still has the evo. But seeing my pictures taken, watching videos, reading, etc...she keeps saying umm....hey, can I see your phone for a second. sure dear ...

Lol you wrong for that
Anyone wants to make a Harlem shake video with me?

I own the s2 s3 and gn2. The gn2 is in a category of itself. Never had I experienced this awesome batterylife in another phone. I was also concerned with size but that's now a thing of the past. As stated by other users screen size, faster processor and spen were the deciding points.

At first i thought the battery was not going to last the day with normal/hard use cause of the large screen, I was wrong the battery is just amazing will easy and I do mean easy last a day and then some.

Everything that guy said minus the never lags part..It indeed does have some lag, especially in the notification shade and the gallery app..seriously though the gallery app is annoyingly laggy..I've switched to quikpik but then you lose out on the special features that come with the note II..

Honestly i jumped on the note 2 as soon as it came out and sometimes do miss my s3. The size isnt an issue bc im 6ft 5 and can hold it with no issue. But the s3 is alot easier to handle with 1 hand. I sold my s3 and got a little over $500 for it bc i had alot of accessories so i only came out of pocket with about $150 for the note 2. If your happy with the s3 you will be happy with the note 2 bc it is very similar. But if you have to come out of pocket with alot of money to make it happen i wouldnt do it. I live in baltimore and theres some people offering $250 and there s3 for a note 2 and im considering jumping on it. Iam in no way sayin the note 2 is a bad phone all im saying is the s3 was and is still a very good phone and to me holds its own against any phone.

Let me tell u if u get this phone u will not be disappointed. I came from a s2 and the size in hand is a little hard to get used to but once u do it is all good. My girl ditched the iphone 4s for the s3 and she sometimes uses my note more then I do
