The 4.3 update is coming for S3 and 4 in October, no word on Note 2.
He mentioned an update due for Note 2 in October, but didn't mention if it was 4.3 or not.
Any idea when they'll release pricing information? I am really interested in Gear.

If you are talking about the Gear I definitely agree. I was telling myself if it was under $100 I would definitely get it but this is just ridiculous. I don't understand why anyone would pay that much just so you don't have to check your phone. I mean it takes what 5 seconds, if that?

It wouldn't be bad to be able to see a quick text or email without pulling my phone out. Also the camera would be great for creeper pics Anyone that pays $300 for that thing though is insane.
Galaxy Gear I love it! Expensive for sure, but then Samsung stuff always is when it first comes out - I'd say it'll be down to $200 in just a few months.
What I'm excited about is:
1) Microphone and speaker, so I can talk without holding a huge phone against my face!
2) Health sensors, so I can do my daily workout much more conveniently!
3) Camera, so I can merrily take pictures at the drop of a hat!
Pretty sweet I reckon - now I wonder what watch Apple have got up their sleeves lol

the health sensors are what make me think this won't work on the note 2. Only the S4 and the note 3 have those built into the phone.
Personally, I'm more interested in the Qualcomm mirasol display watch. I don't like that the Samsung gear is going to be so locked into Samsung. But I don't think the qualcomm one is going to be widely available. Its more of a dev tester device.
There is a sticky thread for other devices

So this is really my only go to phone at the moment. However as you can see from my tag I am coming from a nexus. Assuming it doesn't get unlocked like the S3 how mad should I be over the locked bootloader? No custom kernel, so no over clocking, no battery tweaks, etc. But let's be honest on my nexus while I always rock a custom kernel I am not in there tweaking it all the time. How do others feel? To me it just more or less feels like a slap in the face from Verizon.

I have used the t-mobile note 2 for a few days and you don't need to do any of that stuff to this phone. The speed is freaking amazing and the battery lasts all freaking day. The only thing i did was root it so that I could is TiBU and I was set. (I ended up returning the phone due to stinky t-mobile signal so I'll be waiting for the vzw version to come out)
Will 4.2 be able to be installed before Verizon gets off their slow duffs

I dont think it'll be bad. You see all these other threads of everyone *****ing about the locked bootloader just like the s3 and that got unlocked. I have faith. I just want to be able to root and ROM. I just preordered it yesterday! A whole month away though it feels so long haha

Not really for this device. To get the full potential you need the majority of Samsungs framework riding behind the scenes. A phone like this would not be right with just AOSP/stock Android. Maybe keep the possibility of having a Samsung ROM that's cleaned up a bit but not a total makeover.
Now a phone like the Droid HD or the upcoming HTC DNA then yes; I would be pissed.

I have a flyer from a vzw, they are selling the DNA in red to all employees for 99 bucks. Not sure if it upgrade or off contract yet. But with the purchase they also get a free wireless charging pillow from Nokia. I will report back when I find out if it upgrade price or retail.

It does exist. Basically the same phone with a red backsimilar to the j butterfly. Comes with a fatboy charging pillow. You get both for 99 bucks.
That's actually a pretty solid deal. I wonder if it will be up on the VZW website before Xmas. I'm debating on Note 2 or DNA (obviously), and the DNA is getting pretty stellar reviews from all over, but that 6-7 hours of ONSCREEN time on the Note 2 makes me want it ever so much. I hate the fact I can't use my phone for a long period of time.
If it goes live on the website, I'll post a screen cap.

What good does this do you? You're paying an extra $40/month for the upgrade? In two years you'll have paid ~$960 for the second line that you maintain just to get an upgrade every year. If you're putting a dumb phone on the line so you don't have to pay data you're a little better than buying a phone outright, but not much.

Well, I definitely wouldn't call the s4 an upgrade over the note II. For those coming from phones prior to the note II I'd call it an upgrade. On paper the s4 is the better phone, but in the real world, most people won't even notice any difference. The screen size, s pen and battery life is really what will ultimately separate the note II and s4. For those who want a phone that's not so big, then the s4 would be the obvious choice. Aside from that I don't see why anybody would trade in their note II for a s4 if they can deal with the size of the note II because the s4 doesn't offer any real world usage advantages over the note II. The s4 has a few new gimmicks, but most people probably won't use most of those features just like they don't use them on the note II.

It's not just overclocked. The guts (Processor/GPU) are all upgraded and newer models. Also, the screen is about the best out in the biz, next to the One.
You lose a bit of battery, screen size and a pen that 87% of us haven't used since the first week we got the phone. Add on to that a phone instead of a slab.
Don't get me wrong (I love my N2 and will probably stay) but the S4 is no joke. It's not just a minor upgrade. It's a spec monster that would eat this phone alive in some benchmarks. Believe that.

The s4 supposedly has a better screen and camera...well how much better is completely subjective because the n2 is damn good.

I went from a GNexus to GS3 to GN2 to GS4 to GN2 all in one month. By far, GN2 is the winner for me. I will absolutely agree with everyone here that the S4 camera is a sexy a** b*tch. I didn't experience any of the shutter lags previous posts mention. My experience was 0 lag with crisp and clean pictures.
When I ran the GS3, GS4, and GN2 side by side playing the same pron video, i will say it was obvious that the S4 had a better display in all aspects. Also, after letting it run for an hour on full brightness, the GN2 battery life is definitely better of course it has the bigger battery.
I am on that boat waiting for the GN3 to come sailing my way

I'm really interested in the gear 2 myself. But I appreciate any and every bit of information you can provide about all the devices! Your video was nicely done I must say.

Here you can see my video review for Gear Fit.
You can find out what apps does it have, how you can charge it and with which devices is it compatible

Hi,
Thank you for sharing. Could you please check whether fit works with non-galaxy android phones?
p.s. Yes, I know about official support, but I am talking about not official. Thanks!

I tried to connect it to a Note 2 and I didn't succeed
I can not find the special application - Gear Manager - in samsung apps
probably we should wait for an update, there's still time until April 11

I can't connect them (Gear fit and Galaxy Note 2)
I've send the apk's to a colleague that has S4 - I will keep you posted
I'm guessing there's no hope it connecting to an S2 then. Sorry on a packed train with no headphones so can't watch the video yet but my Mrs wants a fitness watch and I was going to surprise her with a gear fit.

And I want the gear 2 but I have a note 2 so there goes that idea then.

Love the review, few questions.
Do you think the fit vs wrist size may make a difference?
It looks like it is shaped, and if you have a large wrist it may look off?
The watch strap really concerns me it looks very cheap, do you think it will hold up a last say 2 years?
I know other straps and replacement straps maybe be available but I think the availability will depend on where you are.

Ebay or purchase online if all else fails. I understand what you are getting at though. No doubt if these things take off then you will find them in your standard phone case shop custom designed knock offs. Quality would be an issue though

The strap seems very resistant. It is plastic but I think It will resist at least two years.
Of course wrist size matter, I can not wear gear 1 - it's too big for my wrist
It is a device suitable for girls
Is there anyway to have the gear fit screen on at all times ?

No!
But... you can set it to turn on the screen when you raise your hand to look at the watch - so you don't need to press the power button.
thank you for the video. how does it do at handling notifications? texts, emails, facebook stuff? could you post a video of that?
