Aaaand subscribed!

Apparently you have to be "invited" to buy this phone by others who have it, forums etc. Looks awesome, good specs, great price.

I just got an S5 so no near future plans for an upgrade but who knows in the next year or two.

Anyway, no rush to own one but very interested to see where it goes.

It is very much the same size as the Note 3

Yes, very much too big - for me. I could conceive of that working if I could add another much smaller and I guess un-phone device to the mix; like maybe an iPod Touch 4g or some other MP3 player for the gym and out and about listening. But then my devices have proliferated beyond my control and I'm not sure what I've gained with the larger screen as I already have an iPad. Or maybe I should stop whinging and just try it.

Well, something more of a pure media/audio player. I think iPod Touch 4g would actually be the ideal one.

I'm waiting for my bluetooth headphones to arrive.

I actually like the idea of having a standalone mp3 player integrated into my watch but then again, the more I wear this thing the more I like it.

It''s like being plugged into the matrix :)
My phone is now permanently on mute when I am at work, no need for any sound, my wrist vibrates whenever something happens and at a glance I can see exactly what it is.

Are you talking about the Pebble or the Gear? I like the idea of a smaller 'dumb terminal' device to go along with a phone. But truthfully I'm just too invested into the iTunes audio platform. I'm not so much bound to iTunes apps but I can't find another audio player that works for me (and podcast player, and audiobook player). And that's a huge part of my day. I hardly take my earphones off my head.

I have a Gear 2.

Pebble does seem a bit limited from what I have been reading.

Gear 2 FTW!

I think I actually like my S5 more because of it LOL

I am just waiting to see what other apps will be made for this device.

The current options really don't do the dual core cpu and 512meg ram any justice. :/

Ditto. I also wish that the notifications would make the icon for the app smaller and add a bit more detail for the sms/notification to the screen.

Anyway, I think we are in the wrong thread :whistling:

I'm quite interested in the coming Android Wear phones. Now... give me one of those, add a good quality bluetooth headset, let it receive pushed audio from the phone in my pocket/locker, and I'm A for away.
