What would be, in your opinion, a reasonable price for the Gear Fit?
I got mine for 145 today and am wondering if i've payed to much and should send it back.
From what i have experienced, i think it will get cheaper very fast.
That's cheaper than the 200$ I paid when I per ordered it back march/April. The MSRP is 199.99$ in case you wanted to know. So you got a really good deal where did you buy it from ?

thanks of course i know the MSRP got it new and unopened from ebay xD
yeah you could say it's a good deal but in the light of the general bad reviews and the compatibility issues with other devices than samsungs (have a s4 btw) etc. i'm just wondering how low the price will get in the next few weeks. i read many reviews and some said 100 would be a reasonable price and since i payed 145...
are you satisfied with the gear fit and do you think it was worth the price?

I like it more as a smart watch than a fitness band. I don't like the blocky look of the gear 2 so I figured I would get the fit. Is convenient and it looks nice. Functionally wise the fitness is very spotty from my experience and it doesn't sync. I wrote a long review on it which you can read below for my impressions.

Bad reviews?
People got to hate, I love the Gear Fit.
Wish it measured heart rate 24/7, had an always on display, needed to be charged once a week.....
but what ever it is a good step counter, the heart rate monitor seems accurate to me, get my notifications, some new feeds..... It is worth $200 to me.
A normal watch that tells time costs me $100
I'd like to see when I track my Sleep that it would also make some heart rate monitoring. This would allow me to know if I was "upset" with something when I moved.
Ok i played with it a for a while now and i'm bound to say that i like it very much xD
I got the S5 S Health App so I have heart Monitor rating option with diagrams and the step counter is synchronizing perfectly (there is an option to change the monitoring to gear fit). I also installed the S5 Sleep App so that is working fine too. I downloaded some useful additions from the Themes and Apps thread which are also a working without a prob and configured my notifications (i think it's very cool getting live score notifications for sports) Now i laugh about the people which have written in their reviews this and that's not working...they are just too lazy or too stupid to get it done i encountered not a single problem most of the bad reviews mentioned
It's a great device:good:

Hello,
I recently gave my Nook to my brother. I am looking for a new tablet, preferably before 6th grade starts in 2 weeks. I have found a great deal on the Flyer, but I'm worried about some other things:
Where can I get the best deal for a pen, $60 or less?
Is the Notes app sufficient enough to take notes and do some math?
Can the Flyer's battery last through the day on medium brightness, and maybe last if I forget to charge when I get home?
Is there anything I can do to make it work better in school?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies - very much appreciated.
You could probably find a pen on ebay. I purchased a pen but rarely use it. The notes application is nice and I use it for work in my meetings but it does leave a little to be desired. I would think the pen and notes app would be decent for math.

you should have got it last week
it came with the flyer for free at best buy
Right. I'll look into the pen later. Thanks for the feedback. Now I have a bigger problem:
I got outbid $5 more than my $370 bid and I was sleeping when it happened. So I lost the deal of a lifetime. Anyplace I can get a new Flyer, $400 or less?
Thanks.

Craigslist or ebay will be your best "go to" places for that price range.

Only participate in eBay auctions for which you can be online during the last 5-10 minutes of the auction. Otherwise you will be outbid every time. Its called sniping, and its a sad fact of online auctions. At least he outbid you by a real amount, $5. And not some infuriating amount like 50 cents or a dollar.
6th graders are using tablets at school now? I really am getting old.
I personally feel the pen and note taking functions work quite well. It takes a bit to get accustomed to, its not exactly the same feel (accuracy, very slight delay) as a real paper and pen. But once you get used to it, its a great tool. I really like how my notes are automatically synched to my PC and smartphone. So no forgetting your notebook when you need the notes. On the other hand, the "dog ate my homework" excuse goes out the window for you!
Another cool function, is the ability to take a photo or video and embed it right in your notes. I think that would be pretty handy for taking a pic of the teacher's blackboard/whiteboard. Although half the benefit of taking notes, is that writing the notes yourself actually helps you learn and remember.
Fujitsu stylus
Some people reported that they can use Fujitsu tablet stylus with their Flyer. It can be bought for about $30. You can search on the XDA.
It's annoying they charge extra for the pen (I got it for free included when I got mine from Sprint) ... but given the accuracy of the pen and the buttons on it... It's really good and honestly worth it.
I LOVE the Flyer, but in all seriousness, without the pen... You might as well look at another tablet. That's not to say the pen makes the tablet, on its own it's a good piece of hardware...But...You really could do better. You don't "need" it, but you "should" have it. Otherwise, I could see how you might potentially regret your purchase.
Hey guys thanks for viewing I could really use some advice from you experts
I'm eligible for an early upgrade which is 20$+ contract price...but in exactly 2 months I have my NE2 available. The rezound is on sale right now for 99$ and it's very tempting...
I really couldn't spend more than 200 right now on a phone period and I know the nexus will be there soon @ 16gb storage capacity...It's the only other phone I'd even consider right now.
Do you guys think it would be worth it to jump on this deal now or do you think this phone will still be at the 99$ price point in 2 months?
My concerns are...
1. I absolutely hate sense and would just love stock ICS but all the roms seem to have an issue or more.
2. I hear the iBeats are kind of cheap and break pretty easily...I run/work-out a lot and the nice music would really be enjoyable. I also use google music and know that beats only works with the stock music player.
3. I read the battery life is pretty ****...I would buy the extended battery but I'm worried that it will be a tank...way to heavy?
Please help guys
1. Matter of time before stock ICS- and the senseless ones in here are pretty damn solid
2. I workout in the ibeats- I'm not a big sweater but they've been fine- it's all about how you treat them- when they're not in use- they're coiled up and put bag into the supplied bag. I know they're over-rated but they are the best set of headphones I've owned (granted, I've always bought crap)
3. Battery life is fine for me- sure it could be better but it's never failed me in a pinch.. I played a 4 hr round of golf the other day and streamed sirius/xm on 4g the whole time- still had plenty of battery when I was done w/ the round.
At 99 bucks- this phone is the biggest freakin no-brainer to me.. Sure, there are quad cores on the horizon, but they likely won't be in your 200 dollar budget. Plus- I'm waiting on some applications/OS that are actually going to take full advantage of these multi-core devices that are limited to a 4.3-4.5 inch screen (Before I left my Droid Inc I was running a sense 3.5 rom and it ran beautifully- not that I'm regretting getting the rezound in anyway..)
I have OEM extended battery and I love the added weight and grip it gives the phone and obviously all the extra juice lol usually never have a problem with my phone lasting til bedtime with moderate to semiheavy daily usage.
I would not pass up the Rezound for $99. That's a steal for sure lol. Hopefully u get it and enjoy!

1. ICS Sense is not as bad as previous Sense. Its very smooth and fast, they also have done a great job on de-bloating apps. The only problem I have is the Bluetooth and a minor blue screen flicker, everything else works flawlessly.
2. The ibeats are crap to other earphones that are over $80, tell me how many of those do you own? They sound VERY great and are the best phone ear phones EVER.
3. The phone is pretty heavy as is but its also no Blackberry. Its sleep slightly heavier than the original Dinc. Battery is also better than the Dinc, the extended on The rez does make it bigger but doesn't stand out as bad as the Dinc did.
All in all, I love the rez. I would recommend the rez over any phone out right now. You won't be dissapointed.
Thanks a lot guys.
I'm just pissed that I waited all these months for this "New every 2" upgrade and now I'd just be passing it up. My DX is dying out tho anyways...had this ink leak and It's beyond annoying lol.
The battery is fine, beats are garbage. But, you can make 50 of your 99 bucks back selling them to some idiot who thinks they sound good!
Wow- I guess I'm an idiot as are many on these forums. Maybe I should go back to my ipod buds??

Apparently so
Gotta love the internet..
Anyways- I'll stick with it since it's kind of on topic as the OP has questions about beats.. What other 99 dollar phone (or any priced for phone for that matter)- comes with higher quality buds? Again- not that these are the best ever- but beat anything I've owned and am willing to pay for separately. The fact that they came w/ the phone was just a plus.
Maybe I can bring them to a store that sells them and exchange them for the tours? They got that tangle free cord which is pretty cool.
Do it
Best phone I've ever had. Dual core processor, 1.5 GHz and 1 Gb of memory makes it the fastest phone on the market as of now.
4GLTE is nice too. I can download albums in less than 10 minutes. The screen is gorgeous (720p) but the battery does kind of blow, unless you pick up an extended battery (which are half off!). They add some bulk, but when it's in your pocket you don't really notice. (Click the link in my siggy for full ext. battery info) Also why so much hate on the beats? They sound nice on the phone.
Nice! Alright guys I jumped on board =) Just ordered...should have it monday.
Where is that extended batt. for half off? I can't find it for sale period lol..
The half off battery is only in store, I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Not sure if the sale is still going on. If it is they will try to sell it to you for half off 59.99 well look at the box when they go get it because there is probably a sticker on it for 49.99 so you will get half off that. I didn't notice till they rang half of the $59.99 then paid then I had them return and repurchase at the half off the $49.99. As far as exchanging the beats somewhere for a different model you will have to somehow break the ones that come in the phone box and have them send a replacement because you will get the actual ibeats in the OEM ibeats box, same as in stores with the price tag of $99.99 on the ibeats box! Great choice going with Rezound you will love it but you point on the stock battery are true it is terrible, but all of the android phones are. Something you just have to deal with till they can figure out how to make them last longer or start putting extended in from the factory. ENJOY!

I was able to get the extended battery twice for 19.99. They are not marked on sale, but that is what they rang up. This was in December though.

found it on the verizon website for 29.99..it didn't say it till i actually checked out..lol i thought i missed it. still a good deal, rezound/beats/extended battery for 130...really cant beat that. If I somehow manage to do what you suggested and get the tours for a few bucks more that would be like hitting the lotto with this phone haha. Anyways you guys will be seeing me around here now all the time asking a million questions. Only did roms with my X and its locked bootloader...no experience with kernels and stuff =X. Can't wait! Thanks for all the help fellas
If you were still in your window for a full refund from the store would you get the newer model for the screen and hopefully better wifi back panel? My current one has none of the issues my first one had other than weaker wifi. It would take a few days for delivery but the cost is the same. If they dropped the price of the prime I'd return it and buy it again or ask to match it. The t300 didn't feel right in my hands even though it was lower in price. I love the prime but who knows what issues the new model will bring.
There is always a model thats better. My phone, for instance, is the Samsung S2. It does everything i want and im very happy with it. The S3 came out and its nice and shiny and has some improvments but really, do i need it? Im very pleased with what i have.
Now if you are happy with your prime as it is, keep it. Its a good tablet, at least in my eyes, and it works well enough. Sure there are some wifi / gps issues that people have and IO problems, but nobody is to say it will be fixed with the 700. There might be new problems with the 700, who knows.
Do you like the prime as it is?
Do you want to have to wait for the 700 to be released?
how much money are you willing to spend? "decent" tablets are selling for $200-$300. Consider this a "top of the line" tablet, does it fit your budget?
Are you willing to deal with whatever inperfections your prime has or would you wait for somethign that potentially has those problems fixed?
Its your call. I made mine when i bought my tablet. I do not regret my decision. My sister bought a 300, she loves it. Everyones different, only you can decide.
If i was stateside, i'd totally return mine to get a 700. The higher res screen, fixed GPS and Wifi make it way worth it.
I went for it. Returned it last night at Best Buy and ordered it online. Got an email a few hours ago that they unit has already shipped to the store for pick up Tuesday or Wednesday. The sales rep at the store seemed unable to order it for store shipment. Something about being unable to because it wouldn't be coming from one of their distribution centers.
I really do like the prime and this was my second one. I had one from the first batch produced which had bad BT reception and wifi. This second model I got really did have no problem with the BT but the wifi reception was still weak with distance. I will admit it was a rough decision since the unit was functional for my purposes and I had it set up with the apps I like. In the end I'm taking a chance that the plastic strip will allow for better wifi reception.
Price wise it was exactly the same. I had the $499, 32gig model and after tax it was an even trade. If it were to have been more expensive I would have stayed with the prime. But for the equal cost and better wifi (fingers crossed), I am taking the risk on a new product that we have yet to discover any flaws yet.

Well let us know how it goes! Most stuff that I've read says it's better in every way. I'd really like to have the higher res screen, but beggars (my mom bought me mine ) can't be choosers.

Just wanted to fill you in on the TF700. I've had it for about 2 days now and love it. Right off the start I could tell there is a huge difference in screen image. It just looks crisp and clean. The wifi is greatly improved and I can stream video while using my blue-tooth headphones. That was my biggest hope in this exchange process.
I haven't had any reboots but have had the anr's in browsing and some minor lock ups that are less than 10 seconds. There is light bleed but I suppose it is manageable. GPS took about 30 seconds and locked on to 9 locations from my first floor patio. The volume and power button are improved with a good "click" when pressed. Great tablet so far. Glad I went with the return of my Prime for the Infinity.
If it's an even trade, then you've got nothing to lose. Doesn't the tf700 retail for the same price as the original prime now? At any rate, I'd only go for it if I didn't have to pay extra. There's hardly a difference between the two tablets (GPS and screen resolution).
i found this watch for around 80 euro online. i am wondering how it has held up this long for everyone else as the guy i am buying it from said he bought it near the release date or is it worth it to add the extra money and get the g watch r
Check the hardware specs.
G Watch and G Watch R are nearly identical.
(G Watch R has the Round Display, 10mAh more battery and also a pulse sensor.)
I orderd a G Watch R from Amazon, but sent it back after 2 days.
Was not worth the money (180€).
Now I bought a "used" Lg G Watch for 55€ in excellent condition.
Totally happy with it.

One thing you left out is the display. The G Watch R has an P OLED display which , IMO, is better for a watch and one reason I would upgrade to it if the dang thing weren't so expensive. (Got my G Watch for $89 at Best Buy with free $50 Play Store credit)
I bought my G watch for 50USD used. Excellent watch. I like it better than my 360 overall. I wear my 360 to church and thats it. Only thing I miss from the 360 is the ambient light sensor while wearing my G watch. I won't be getting the G Watch R or the the Urbane since the only thing I find useful is the screen upgrade ( brighter, sharper, and better on power consumption). Not worth 300+ IMHO. I will stay with the G Watch till a worthy successor comes out that justifies it's price tag.

I got my G Watch at $100. I find it totally worth it... It also helps me cheat in exams
Yes!
Got my LG G Watch for $90 on Swappa. Totally loving it, and it looks really Geeky. I keep a simple Watch-face and people think it's an ordinary watch, but when I tap the screen, people's mind=blown. With the 5.1W update, the battery lasts me 4 days on moderate use, and this is good, since it used to lasts me only for 1 day on 4.4W. I even put a metal strap on it, so it looks really classy. The fact that it has LCD makes outdoor viewing easy, and there is a very little to no chance of screen burn-in. I don't mind charging it because it takes only 45 min. to completely charge. But the part replacement is really costly.
BOTTOM LINE:Yes, totally worth it.
Just got one last week as an impulse buy. I figured the price was too good not to give Android Wear a shot, and I'm absolutely impressed. Although I did hesitate and nearly purchased the G Watch R, considering both the strengths and limitations of AW at the moment, I honestly don't feel like I'm missing much at all. It buzzes when my messages come in, handles all my voice commands like a champ and the battery sits idle for days when I don't need it. That's pretty much all I expect from the platform, and consider this a pretty good placeholder until some newer generation flies in and actually blows me away.

5.0.2 for me.
I'm on the same boat, g watch just got a big discount here in mexico but im worried it might be too late to get it, but it's cheap or should I wait for Moto 360 2
For a basic watch, it is worth getting. I have had the G Watch since Christmas. I have order me a Gear Neo because I want more out of my watch.

Why if you don't mind me asking? AFAIK, the G Watch has better specs then the 360 which relates to faster performance and longer battery life. Aesthetics go, I believe the 360 definitely looks better, has the ambient light sensor and WiFi.

I guess. I wouldn't pay that much this late in the game tho. I got mine for $6 PLUS a $50 Google play egift card in November.
I really like the 5.1.1 update but I'm a tiny bit disappointed we don't have wifi.
I just want my theater mode to vibrate like it used to.
I mean I guess if you get a lot of texts or notifications during the busy part of your day, then sure. But I'd say save your money and get something newer.
I just got in on the $50 ATT deal. To me it's worth it. This is my first smart watch, and it does everything I need it to do. I have a TomTom Runner to cover all of my running needs, and I use the LG G Watch for everyday wear. I got both watches, brand new, cheaper than my wife's FitBit Charge, which she loves. Make sure you do your research and figure out what you want out of a watch. You're going to get a mixed bag of opinions. Just get what fits your needs.
found mine for 60€ (in a stairwell I could only pair it to my phone to make sure it worked).
It's cheaper than a Toy Watch.
update 5.1.1 fixed many issues about screen freezing in 5.0.2 so now it's perfectly usable.
finding a good wristband can be complicated as it's a standard size, there is soooooo many choice (right now hadley roma)
$50 guys. Of course it's worth it. G watch for around $50 or some crappy Disney watch from walmart.
I just jumped on the G Watch bandwagon because I found it refurbished for $45. It was cheaper then some of the chinese models and has Google Play and well supported.
I have been looking at reviews and it seems the G Watch is great for a starter watch. The Samsung Models use a Tizen OS and require a Samsung phone.
Things that I wish the G Watch had:
AMOLED display. Makes sense on a smart watch. The Solid blacks would also look better.
Speaker. This is actually kind of a bummer because if I am in the pool/lake, I can reply/dismiss notifications, but won't be able to take a call.
For me, this was reasoning is to help handle notifications. It is a starter watch that is cheap but good. I don't normally wear a watch, so it will probably end up in a drawer but if I end up really using the device, then I will spend the money to upgrade to one that has everything I need. It is just silly to spend $300 for a high end device if it won't be used.
In a perfect world, I want the Samsung Galaxy Gear S to have an Android Wear model so I can use it on my LG G4. That would be the ideal watch.
Hello there,
I have a good deal to get the G watch W100 new for $70 .. its now sold for $100 at least.
I'm a fan of these things but they are really over priced .. like the urban watch is being sold for $400.
Anyhow.. do you think its a good idea to buy it now with this price?
if you can through me any ideas, thoughts.. battery life, experience with it .. I'd be grateful

Hello there,
I have a good deal to get the G watch W100 new for $70 .. its now sold for $100 at least.
I'm a fan of these things but they are really over priced .. like the urban watch is being sold for $400.
Anyhow.. do you think its a good idea to buy it now with this price?
if you can through me any ideas, thoughts.. battery life, experience with it .. I'd be grateful

As long as you don't mind how ugly it is and that it's a large fat square (uncomfortable depending on wrist size and where you like to place watch) then I think it's a great deal if you are in to tech. I have had mine since black Friday and for the 0 i paid back then I think it's still good/ I usually use always on screen with turn to wake off and can get 2 days battery, but I always charge it at night anyways just because why not? Even with tun to wake on it still get at least 1.5 days of use for me with moderate amount of notifications. It runs super smooth. It's bright enough for anything except direct sun light, in which case all the watches I've seen have a little issue with. I recently had a moto 360 because I like the look of it a lot more and it was a little bit more comfortable as well. But after using the G watch for over 6 months the 360 was laggy and I had to charge the watch about twice a day. If I turned off everything I'm sure it would last a whole day, but I didn't like that sacrifice. Since all the watches so far have the same specs with proc, ram and, rom (except the first gen moto 360) I would assume that it's extremely easy to push updates out to all of them since there's hardly any variation. I would be surprised if the g watch stopped getting updates any time soon. The only thing I kind of wish this watch had was a heart rate sensor. Not for any practical reason (the 360 was very hit or miss if it would work, but partially because i like to wear my watches loose I guess), but just for fun when I am nervous or something to see how it changes. I also shower with my watch on when I go to the gym 4-6 days a week. And never had an issue with that either. If there's anything else specific you can think of let me know.
All that being said I think the next gen 360 or the huawei watch look so much better. Of course those are 300+ bucks too though. So if price is a big concern you can't beat the g watch for 50 bucks.
Agreed. The g watch it's still a very good deal at 50$ hardware and software wise it's the same as the other smartwatches on the market. Only the look differs but I personally think it's not that ugly when you get used to it.
