lol. I know, I couldn't wait either. One thing to watch out for, in case you'd be interested in getting
a metal band for the Moto 360, Stay away from third party stuff. More than few have ruined their watches trying to fit them !!
Just a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up. I can't wear metal bands anyways. I have a reaction to them. I like the leather. It's really comfortable. :laugh:
I've had mine for like a month now, live near the border so just picked one up in the US. I love it.

Good stuff. Have you experimented any Root or Optimization on your device? or just kept it Stock?
Picked one up this morning at Telus about 15 minutes after they opened. They only got two in, I grabbed the black one. Really want to get the pebble steel band when I'm the US Sunday, but I'm scared of the cracking issue.
Got mine yesterday morning from a Telus store, about 20 minutes after opening and I was the second person to buy one.
So far I am loving this watch. My only issue is that I keep discarding my weather card from Google Now, so its never there when I want it. I have since installed 1weather, but the font sizing isn't perfect so some numbers are being cut off.

I've just kept it stock so far as it pretty much does all I need right out of the box.

Have you got the new update yet that allows you to swipe down on a card so it goes away but you can bring it back by swiping up if you like. That may help a bit.

Hey guys I ordered my 360 grey model from telus website yesterday, because I called all local telus stores around me and all said wont be carrying in stock. But can you guys tell me if I'm just crazy but am I seeing a BROWN THAN BAND on the futureshop.ca website??
I cant post link because of new account but goto futureshop DOT ca website, and lsearch for product code 00527NACRTL
The title is "New! Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch (00527NACRTL) - Black", but the pictures show a THAN BAND, noone is talking about this. But its so not clear what you would actually get if you order from that page, title says black, screenshots show silver with brown band..
Anyone notice this model is any stores?
Thanks

Looks good. I didn't make it but this is the one I'm using.
i aint from canada. i am from India.
Got mine 2 weeks ago, changed the band to pebble steel, been using it since last 10 days, no cracking issues so far... So u guys can change the band without any problem, but make sure u dont have very small wrist..
Had mine a couple of days now and my battery life is amazing, yesterday took it off charger at 5am and on my way home from work at 4pm it was at 75%. When I got home I used it a lot (making facer faces) went to bed at 11:30 pm and it was still at 39%.

I've went through 5 Moto 360s and all have the same issue. I tried those apps to unstuck dead pixels and it doesn't work. It's a hardware issue that software can't fix.

then Casemate may decide to make the case and you could then order it online
I had a xoom and sold it for the tab, The tab fits in xoom case i have, the camera cutouts on the back are wrong but at least its protected.
This is the case i have.

I have the same issue. Samsung South Africa dont even have the device yet. They are expecting it this month.
In terms of accessories, i have also looked around like a nutter, and i cant find anything.
An Incredible corruptions store in Eastgate said they should be getting this week. I will be checking tomorrow as its Friday.
Thanks, still no luck. Phoned Vodashop vodaworld again today,still nothing. Let me know about eastgate.

mine came with a case and it's pretty awesome, better than any aftermarket case that i've seen
Any of you guys from SA find a case???
I've had my tab for 3 weeks now and I still can't find anything. Got some family in the UK - seriously thinking about getting a few from ebay.co.uk and getting them shipped here.
Hi guys,
It fits in an Ipad 1 case. Needs cutouts for power and camera though.

Still no luck for me, Vodaphone shop said they would contact me when they do arrive. Very frustrating, they never seem to get it right in SA.
Saw a tweet from Samsungmobilesa that vodashop's should have accesories available mid June.

Did a few stops today while I was out; IC Eastgate say they will get stock next week, IC Greenstone say they have no clue when stock is arriving. So I popped in at Vodaworld; The Vodashop recons 4 - 6 weeks until they expect stock and the Samsung Mobile guys say that they have yet to get their hands on the device never mind the accessories....
have2have has got a cover listed for around R320. Only thing is that there is 7 - 14 days for delivery... placed the order and now I wait

So far the service has been awesome. They email you every step of the order; I know that the package is now waiting to go to Washington Dulles Airport as soon as they finish the customs paperwork...
I had just made an order on ebay for a case....
Will update when it reaches...
Some cool cases that I come across too in China, but no idea on quality.
At least it is made specifically for the 10.1v!

Let us know how it is please
Yes please do let us know!
Also in SA, and have been searching for a case since I got the tab 10.1v.
But now since Vodafone has dropped/discontinued the V version, i'm a sad panda because it means that 10.1V accessories (or at least a case) will be VERY rare...
so if we can get at least 1 good case somewhere it will help us early adopters a lot
looking forward to your feedback (and thanks all for the links so far!)
ok, seeing as no one has either received their imported cases yet, or no one actually cares to reply... heres an update after we did some research the last couple of days.
(also posted on AndroidZA)
decided to import a case, seeing that it is pretty much the only option...
Apart from the importing fact, we also have just about 2 options of cases
I settled on this one from amazon uk : goo.gl/mbHcJ
They estimate about 3 weeks for delivery so we'll see... at least its quite cheap (though shipping isnt...)
Saw that Have2Have advertises a similar case (goo.gl/3bboh), but called them and their US supplier doesnt have stock, so thats a fail.
But here is another viable option, though it is VERY expensive, but looks gooood...
goo.gl/TjDtg
hope it helps someone. i'll update once i get that case.
[edit: sorry about the links, cannot post links yet apparently - so just copy & paste the goo.gl links into the browser]
case from ebay...
hey people,
the case i had ordered from ebay arrived and here are pictures of it.
fits the ports really well, meaning that i can use all my ports.
microfiber material but feels not as nice as the apple one.
am quite happy even though it is a little loose (due to the material being slightly stretchable). can stand too!
pictures!

Thanks, how much did it cost, and when did you you order it? It looks decent enough and we cant really afford to complain, except for the fact that I really would like a screenguard for the tablet as well.
Exactly as said above, the entire Galaxy Nexus seems to be white, the digitialzer (which was always black before) is white also. Looks like a choppy image however, anyone bought it/planning on getting it and able to post pics?

The Expansys solds phone worldwide,and even Japanese buy some "imported" phones at their country.
Well,I suggest contact for more information,if U still not trust them,U should not buy.
That's all.
Expansys is a very well known website looks legit to me. You can always call to make sure its not an error/inaccurate picture.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Don't think this phone exists... I feel like they just accidentally took one of the photos that was made when the first rumors of the white model came out.
It may or may not exist. They could have colored it themselves, and are selling it off as completely white, or it's like martonikaj said.
Do not check "yes this is a question" unless you are posting in Q&A.
I took the [Q] out of the title since this is a more general topic
Thanks

We definitely did not color it ourselves However, we are discontinuing them. Have a few more than backordered on the way in, but then we wont be offering them anymore.

Hi Corey, thanks for responding.
Just curious, where did you get fully white GNs? I thought they were never manufactured? Is this the work of a third party custom job?
it says the item is discontinued to me
If you check YouTube, you'll see several reviews of full-white Gnex's. It's legit, apparently.

I'm not saying that they're scammers or anything, I'm asking if people have actually seen this, or that its a fake picture, and will come white like other Galaxy Nexii. U should use "you", that is all.

We get them from a few different suppliers actually. I've never opened one myself. It will be back live on the site shortly, for the few remaining ones. We bought a large amount on a closeout, and then got enough to cover our orders + a few extra. Seems someone discontinued it a bit to early so we fixed it. Will come back online soon.
I wonder who made them. They must be custom built... right?

White case, black face
I'm looking right this second at the white GN I bought from Expansys. The body of the phone is white (and gorgeous, might I add), while the front face is black. The photo on Expansys showed an entirely white phone, but I just assumed it was an incorrect photo. (And I was right.)
And, for what it's worth, it came with a UK (I believe? Definitely not standard USA) charger, and an adapter to fit it into a standard USA outlet.
Since it looks like one of the Expansys fellas is in this thread, thanks a lot. Really enjoying my purchase :]

I'm glad my purchase served a greater purpose than simply satisfying my annual gadget refresh compulsion :]
The photo on their page really is sort of confusing. But, given how many black-and-white shots and reviews I saw, I sort of went with Occum's Razor.
Really minor point, but definitely one that confused me for a bit too.
FWIW...I just ordered one the other day and it is white body with black face. I was hoping for something unique. But oh well. Still a pretty phone.
Awwww I was pretty excited as well.
Oh well, just buy a white skin and it'll look the same.

Must admit I'm veering toward this now rather than the Moto 360 2, as it seems to still have the 'flat tire' look.

Looks like amazon got a little trigger happy with their listing, was probably supposed to wait till later this week when they officially announce it.
Amazon however assured me it was still on schedule to be delivered by 9/4 so look for the page to go back up soon!
I'd have personally hung on for the reviews, that 300mAh battery concerns me.

Someone did an AMA on reddit that was testing one and in 24 hours from a full charge it was still at 33% when he had to return it. That was enough for me considering most of the current gen watches can barely go 12 hours.

Orders placed last week still show a delivery of 9/4, the new listings that went up today after the announcement are showing a different preorder date of 9/17 instead of the previous 9/2 the previous listing showed. This here is showing all the places you can buy at the moment (seems to be getting updated frequently)
I just ordered it from Amazon as well, $349. I went with this over the Moto 360 2 mainly because of the flat tire thing. I hated it on the Moto 360 1 and thought for sure they would remove that for the new one. With prime shipping I get it on the 18th....
All buying options currently available for US
I hope it does ship this time around. I think the release date on this watch has changed several times which usually isn't a good thing...

Anyone have any black metal band links for the 46mm they don't need?
I got the watch day after release and was to small even when I added the extra link that came with it. I called moto and guess what they don't have any links in stock and got an email saying they don't know when they will have them, but said when they do they will send me another one.
Just inpatient and really would like to use the new band that I paid extra for. Using a plastic one from my gear 2 currently. So if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

The launch of accessories and the device has been tardy and useless. Lucky this is (at least for me) one hell of a phone.
Also fell off my bike earlier (not wise recovering from a broken leg lol). Phone fell out of my pocket and both phone and case are perfect
