Just look at the excitement in this review, when was the last time you saw this much excitement on a youtube review. This phone is a game changer, make no mistake!

That's good coming from him as on the Gadget Show in the UK he is a big Apple fan and normally hates anything other than IOS.
My mate came round yesterday and wasn't really bothered about 3D and the phone I had but soon as he had a mess on it his face lit up and now he wants one himself.

I new that one day it would happen...
Several close calls over the years, but yesterday my G2x did a swan dive out of my shirt pocket into the crapper.
AND IT SURVIVED.
The phone thought that the headphone jack was plugged in for about 2 hours, but finally cleared...
G2X I LOVE YOU
that's awesome.
such great news! lets hope everyone else is just as lucky as you if our phones drop in the toilet!
I just love this post because earlier today at work, we were discussing different ways we had lost our phones over the years and this was probably one of the most common, one of the things I had brought up was how much an insurance replacement was for this phn and how it would be the most expensive visit to the john I had ever made!
I hope I never have to find out for myself, but if the porcelain gods ever frown on me and demand a phone sacrifice, I can laugh in their faces, after, of course, I thoroughly disinfect both myself and my phone after retrieval.
just wanted to let everyone know that bestbuy has the 8x for free. i just picked one up myself. my brother bought his from att last week so of course he was pissed. he called att and got them to give him a $100 credit in place of price matching. i suggest that everyone who already owns one do the same.
btw you can get the lime light off bestbuy.com for free too.
I ordered it Tuesday night for free from Best Buy. I am excited to get this phone. It will be here tomorrow. It is also now a penny on Amazon Wireless.
Free 8X
Anyone have any idea how long these sales might last? Through the holidays perhaps? I've been debating on getting one, but I need to confer one more time with others on my family plan as we'll be losing our unlimited data if I go through with it. I'd kick myself if I missed this though...
The sale ends Sat. 12/8. I got one for my wife last night.
I got mine on Friday and I love it. This so smooth compared to any version of Android that I have ever run. Windows Phone could be going places if it can find a loyal audience. I am missing a few apps that I'd like, but I am hoping to see the platform grow. It can't really do that if no one uses it, so I am sticking with it. The phone has a couple of minor annoyances like the power button being hard to press, but I love the design and the way the phone feels in my hand. The camera has been taking very nice pictures too. It is better at focusing than the Xperia Ion that I used to have. Mobile Internet Explorer is also much better than I expected any version of IE to be. This is a lot of phone for free! I went with the blue one. This is a very unique take on a mobile OS. I like it.

My power button issue has been completely solved by my case that arrived today.
Re:
Well, I missed the sale, but it's at $100 right now and they're going to give me close to $80 for my old Bionic. Unfortunately, my local Best Buy didn't have any in stock, so I ordered a black one and should have it in less than a week. I'm also researching cases, as that's usually the first thing I do with a new phone regardless.
I've been reading a lot of good things about it, and the few negatives I've seen (so far), I don't consider deal-breakers. I'm really itching to get my hands on this thing and I'm extremely hopeful that I'll be happier with it than I have been lately with Android. As long as it's fast and smooth, I'll be happy.
I'm stoked for it to be honest, even if it might suck at the beginning, I feel like there is such potential with a company like Samsung backing it up.

i like the idea..... will pick one up for sure
My only fear is that availability will be bad so I won't be able to get one at release.
I will buy one for sure, just to test what's all the fuss about. Seems a bit pricy though since it will be much more limited than Oculus Rift (unless they come up with some kind of game streaming for it or something?).
Whoa. If they get limelight streaming working...
Looks pretty cool, I'll probably pick one up. My only gripes are the price, and from what I understand you can't connect the phone to power so I can see running out of juice very quickly. Looking forward to some cool gaming on it though.
A novelty that we will laugh about a few years from now.
I really wanted a 360 when it first came out but the more I looked at it the more I thought it was just a little too thick for my tastes. But these look more my style. The Urban is a nice looking watch and I thought, finally - an Android Watch I might like - this was a pleasant surprise to see this am too!
I've never been a watch guy - not since I was a teenager. But lately I've been thinking about it..
In waiting for this one. I will never get another watch that does not have a sapphire crystal. Can't wait until phones get them, too.

I never even knew about these watches all that is all over the web is apple this and that. I checked out images of the LG and that does look really stylish. I am into tech but I prefer fashion over it and that does look nice.
Have to look more into it. Thanks for bringing it into my radar.
the lg urbane has the exact specs of their watch they released last year. If you want outdated specs go for the LG, if you want newer specs that hopefully you wont be kicking yourself over in a year or 2, get the huawei
Hello Everyone
Just simple comment from newbie
For me, it's between the Huawei Watch and the 2nd generation Moto 360. I assume that the Huawei Watch might be a bit more expensive, but since all Android Wear devices run the same software, the looks will take center stage. I would pay a bit more for a nicer looking watch.
I think the fact it's the only one with sapphire glass is my biggest selling point. For a phone..cool..for a watch, a must have imo
i will just wait for Huawei Watch, the 2nd gen moto360 and the new Round Samsung Watch, and then just buy the best one
Good news for people who wanted a black s7 edge which has been discontinued recently. pictures surfaced today, apparently Samsung is releasing another new color next month to compete with apples jet black iPhone. Looks like the batman edition s7 edge minus the gold accents (black bezzel). I myself just picked the recent blue coral s7 edge last week which I'm loving.
Are both companies so out of ideas that a new color makes the news? Since when do we compete based on a devices color? Or even give more than a passing thought about it? I get that Apple is out of ideas, everything in the iPhone 7 is rehashed from other devices. But Samsung had a great and innovative device on their hands in the Note 7, at least for a while. Let's just say that I expect no fanfare about a new color.
Dumb. They said of released a matte black version. Damn finger prints are annoying.
Yeah I'm going to run and get a phone that is slow as #[email protected]& and one that overheats every 2 minutes. Save your money for next years phone

All it is an attempt to boost sales for the holidays, I mean Samsung really cant do anything else right now aside from that. I mean they cant release another phone this fast, why do you think it took so long for Samsung to release the S3 watch? I miss my note 7 minus the crap battery life. the screen off battery drained issue was ridiculous.

ya that would be sick. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing a lot more color options with new releases of upcoming devices. People are all about looks anymore, the days of a white or black phone done for now.
I'm kinda annoyed that they released the Batman edition later. I was tempted to buy one and sell my old phone but my girlfriend insisted that I was an adult and that's not what adults do ><
