if you have any question ask me.

I was going to get it, but the chance of me getting it now is @ about 10% now. I wanted to buy it so that I wouldn't have to take my phone out to skip a track or something. But since I have a Bluetooth set now, I don't really have a need for it.

hahaha !
I just do not want to wait:silly:
But I wanna tell you I have a Sony smart watch and compare to Pebble the Sony is terrible !
-I can't just plug the charger cable and charge Sony smartwatch. It's connecting/reconnecting., so I need to find good position for stably charge. (maybe my unit is defective).
-The sony belt is always dirty and dusty. Always.
-The screen is got a bad responding to fingers. (I know how to fix it. You need to press and hold then it will work, but it's stupid)
-Bad on sun-light.
-Battery is bad. I need to charge them every 2 days. Because after 1 day I have a half charge. (and I don't want to risk, so I charge every day.)
The design is not comparable with Pebble.
I was surprised when I saw how it looks on hand. Very solid man.
The Pebble is not using the BT 4.0 BLE, right?
I would like to buy a Casio GB-6900AA but it connects only with BLE compatible devices...

Black seems like a wise choice.
Do you think it's possible to customize with other types of straps?
What would you say the gap is aprox. (where the strap goes through)?

Yeah, the creators of Pebble already confirmed that you can use other straps.
Check out the forum @ getpebble dot com.
Does it work with a bluetooth headset connected (to the phone) at the same time? If both have play/pause/skip buttons etc..
Has anyone tried?

Yeah that should work without a problem. Each device has his own ID and from each ID the phone will receive it's commands.

It doesn't have wifi since it works with a BT connection.
Weather function to do what? Your phone could send that info to your watch tho, so the watch won't need such thing by itself.

I just installed the Soundgate M2 car mount. So far, I'm impressed.
I had been looking for a low profile car mount that would work with any phone case.
I took some pictures of how it looks in the car.

Wow like the sleek look. But how does it stay in place? Im guessing you need some type of clip holder? I personally like my phone naked but man this looks pretty rad.
You attach a flat disc either on your phone or case. Size of a quarter coin.
I can't even tell its there.
amazing....
that mount puts your n1 in a perfect location to make EVERYTHING electronic below it obsolete, instantly. ok, the AC is kinda 'portant, but that high dolla nav stuff is shot outta the water by the stuff on the n1.
nice mount. do you have a bluetooth reciever so you can continue to play tunes in the ca r after work ?
I do have a bt dangle, but it isn't perfect. I have handsfree Bluetooth through the factory stereo, but if I have both connected, the stereo "skips" often. So I just connect directly to aux.
Thanks for the review.
Was the discoloration around the M2 from the cleaning agent that comes with it? It seems like a perfect match for me, but according to review from Amazon, the cleaning agent is a bit too strong to discolor the surface.
If you don't mind, I'd love to see a close up of the disk that's attached to the phone/case.
The discoloration from the cleaning agent faded away after I wiped it with a moist paper towel.
There was discoloration on the case too, but it faded away also.
Good lookin setup
Wow thats a good lookin setup. I might have to get one now that i see it.
A 7 series Beemer and a Nexus One, hook me up with a job where you work... haha
Thanks. This was the only placement that didn't block anything else, eg. AC, view,iDrive display.
Oh, its an M5 though, not a 7 series.

Though, mine didn't have pictures. I'm thinkin' I might get it, and use it connected to my Gel case. And, just use it like at all times, and have a separate case when one releases to my liking
Not sure why this mount hasn't been more popular. It even comes with 2 attachments for the phone.
thanks for the pic.

Nicely done man. I spotted the ///M on the gauges...
Hopefully I can get into another ///M a couple years after finishing law school... I miss my M3.
Nice find. It really looks great and this is going to make the wait VERY difficult for the official one.
Nice car, I actually missed the Nexus One in the pictures trying to figure out the model BMW it was..
I had the V1 radar detector and switched to the Escort 9500CI. You should check it out, it has built in GPS so it knows where all the Food Lion's are and never falses.. But the coolest thing is if you drive on a street everyday, it knows where all the falses are, but if it senses a police radar a mile away it goes crazy because it is a new KA, V1 would give me 1/4 miles warning...
Been looking for a 335I 6MT Sedan for months, can not find the one i want..
As for the mount, I am ordering one today, tired of waiting for Google to finally release one..
Thanks for all the comments.
Only little quirk about it, now that I've used it for a while is because it's attached to a semisoft case, I have to hold the bottom of the phone with my thumb to click on the icons. Otherwise it's solid. No movement even under hard acceleration.
Does the escort have a good K band detection? In my area its still about half k and half Ka.
Good luck on your search
i have a question... i have a 2008 infiniti G35.... My Dashboard dont come out like yours of course. can you put the phone in landscape mode with the dock? cause i want to use the Google Navi.

It all has to do with where you place, and how you orient the disc that attaches to the phone/case
The disc doesnt release from the mount until you twist it well past horizontal, so if you have the phone resting on the dash, then it can stay on landscape mode.
But trying to place the disc at exactly the center of gravity to keep it horizontal without resting on something, would be impossible, especially during times when your car is taking turns or on curves.

This may be a winner....Ima scoop one up just to check it out.
wow that looks really good, it even comes WITH a Battery! hmmm tempted.... nice to have a spare battery but so far these days my battery lasts me the whole day which is all i need... always a good idea to have a spare though
I'm not certain whether that offer is really outstanding...
The battery is sold seperately for 7-8 USD (shipped), the charger is one of those that you'll get for almost nothing. That leaves 18-20 USD for the Dock.
Not too expensive for a dock but for this amount I'll think twice about a purchase.

By all means, if you can find another horizontal dock that looks like it will fit nicely with the G2 + an extra slot to charge an additional battery please...post away.
1 Month of delivery kills it..
"Delivery:
Estimated between Fri. Dec. 10 and Thu. Dec. 23"
By Dec 10 there will be cheaper docks online or from your local stores.
no offense.. but it looks poorly made..
Check out the thread from the Desire-Z forum, looks like the same dock you purchased:

I held off on ordering one after hearing his feedback on it... Hopefully they have some more selection in the next few weeks.
I still haven't gotten anything yet (lol why would anyone say no offence, I didn't design it, just stated it was the only one I have seen)

Battery goes in upsidedown (versus what the stock battery looks like. Still 1300 mAh.

I'm not buying a charger for a third of the money I spent on the phone, no matter how fancy it looks like.
Looks like I finally know what to ask for for X-Mas from the GF. She always gets pissed because anytime I want something I just buy it instead of waiting to get it as a gift.
EDIT: I just sent her the link and her response was "If you buy that before Christmas I'm going to punch you in the face." ...looks like I did a good job this time.
I think the FatBoy looks cool and easy to carry when travelling, we just need it to go down in price!
Does anyone have a clue if it's actually cushioned (inside stuffed with some sort of foam etc.) or if it's just covered in a pillow sleeve? Reason I ask is I plan on having one of these on my bed, since I sleep in a big bed and don't use a bedside table.

Thanks for the pictures...how stable is the phone on that charger? It's pretty small, looks like it could easily fall off
Update: the charger seems to be switching on and off keeping the screen on at times, when the phone is OFF it charges fine.
Wonder if its software related?

I am going back to the store to check if it works on their display charger, maybe I just have a faulty one.

Hi, any update if the nokia Qi charger would work? Did you managed to test the phone with the chargers on display? appreciate it. thanks!
For those of you interested in the Fatboy Pillow, do note that inside the pillow part is the exact same DT-900 charger that many have reported problems with (see jmquez above). Not sure if the pillow cures those, but it's worth keeping in mind before spending ~$100.

You should change the misleading title to 'Sonys usual, treat the user like they dont know how to turn the watch on' response.
Rather than answering the clear question regarding missing features that were advertised.
well... Sony broke me down, sold the SW2 on craigslist tonight and bought a pebble.. been happier with this after an hour of ownership that the last 6 months combined trying to finagle the mn2 and sw2 to do what I wanted.

Well.. Sony's support is really lackluster. What did I do? I bought a galaxy gear, rooted and installed the null rom, and now i can do so much more compared to my Smartwatch 2 could ever do.

way too much bezel on those. Plus the screen doesn't fit in with the overall look of the watches. And I think their user interface is going to be more of a hindrance. I don't see why all these companies seem to think gesture-based user interfaces are 'intuitive' and 'natural like'.
I really thought Sony would get it right this time when they were showing the Smartwatch 2 before release. But it looks like they screwed the pooch yet again. At least Samsung is consistently improving the Gear, despite a rocky release, and who knows what they plan to do in the future (open it up to other devices?), but for Sony to be in stealth mode all this time is unacceptable for a large corporation.

Gear has proved to be such a flop that Samsung is likely going to show the Gear v.2 at next CES in Las Vegas in January.
Sony has today updated the Smartwatch 2 SW2 App, it now has alot more watch faces. I noticed a new stopwatch app as well, and a choice to let the display brightness be adjusted according to surrounding light.

I never said the Gear was selling well, and to clarify, I don't own one. I went with the Pebble this round after backing Kreyos and then backing out after months of radio silence to finally being told there was a delay. Before backing the Kreyos, I was eyeing the Sony, but the wife didn't like the look of it (screen too big) and I was getting antsy after no US release date. The Pebble is good enough for me until things like battery life, thickness, etc get sorted out on these "smarter" smartwatches.
I'm just saying, at least Samsung is *trying* to make an effort, as opposed to Sony. I mean, was today's update even announced? Any change logs aside from Play Store? They are basically ignoring customers and just tossing them a bone every once in a while to act like they care.

Why not? This is the best device for that!
It's not a dock, but I actually use a Twelve South Compass stand. My current one is rigged with a small Qi charger in the middle for the Nexus 7, and while Nexus 9 can't charge that way, it sits on the stand just fine. I tend to store it in landscape when I do use it.

This is the only thing that I've found, but the reviews are lumped with the lightning version, so its hard to get a good idea on overall consensus. I can't decide if I should order it to find out for myself or not.

Looking at the connector, it appears to be oriented the wrong way. As in to make the tablet plug in, the display will face the dock and not you. I could be wrong on that.
How does the tablet know it's docked rather than connected to a charger? I ask as I'm curious how it will know when to daydream.

Good catch. I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm back to square one.
What about this?
Well the original purpose of a dock is to put the device on the stand for charging and/or syncing instead of having to fiddle around and manually connect a cable. This works fine for that i suppose.
Having it act like a alarm clock or whatever is not what makes it a dock. That's just a feature that some docks have but is not a prerequisite.

I would avoid this. It looks nice but it's a pain in the ass to plug in. Here's the bottom of my Nexus 7

To be fair, you probably just jammed it in without regard for your tablet.
Others here don't treat them so badly.
If you're careful, any dock can work.
Just a word of advice for those looking for a dock.
The Nexus 7 and 9 are the only ones I've owned that have the microusb socket the OTHER way around than my other ones.
Any update on the ever dock with the n9? Curious to see if it fits. Thanks.

I hope HTC will release an official dock. The offical dock from ASUS for the Nexus 7 was the best.

I received mine, and I can confirm that it does work. I plan to do a deeper review, but a very quick one. It works, I like it, but you may want to modify it slightly and easily. I'll get some pictures up and a review soon.
Thanks
Dan
Updated first post with new dock that should work, on sale currently as well if anyone wants to give it a shot.
Thanks

Could you please post pictures with the N9 on the dock? I would like to see how it fits there. Thanks.
