First time Samsung Owner here, and Hopeful first time Gear owner too. Just don't know which one I want. From those who currently own them, both Gear and Gear 2, or either or, please tell me the Ups and Downs and Ins and Outs.. Haven't researched much, but really want to pull the trigger on this in the next 8 hours...
The gear 2 neo seems like the sweet spot....199. I have the Gear 2, eventhough I dont use the camera I do like the metal. With the gear 2 neo you are giving up on the camera and metal. If you dont need those things the Neo is the way to go.

Its been 2 years since I had my nexus. It was a great device and didnt really feel dated to me until this year. I already have my iPhone 5, so I guessim going to use this upgrade for a galaxy note 2. But my question is, what do you think would be the best successor to this device? I'm not sure if I'll even hack at this point anymore because my house now has WiFi and using my cell as a hotspot was main point.

i guess the N4 comments are from people that didn't read he has SPRINT!!! Note2 seems to be the popular one of course... send me a PM, when you're ready to upgrade... i might have a hookup for ya
Got nexus4, note 2 , galaxy tab 2 7.0, 10.0 and note 10.1, tf300t , nexus 7 and GS 2.
I say go with note 2, small enough to fit into or pocket, not bulky to play games on it, closer to handheld console than large tabs, not too small. I love the spen.
Bottom line. If I could take only one device. Note 2 would let do all that I would wanna do in both phones and tablets.

So many shopkeepers Samsung shops. in Delhi and NCR and punjab now boldly describing S4 as a flop set.
Because from sharp back it's looks like cheap range Samsung phones like Galaxy grand or local phones like Micromax Canvas.
White is much more like cheap phones.
Now people realising that Note 2 was much more nice.
Really just look in mirror it's looks while calling

95 % users buy phone for looks these days.
Other 5 %user also don't need this much power like octa core or display more than 720
Mostly people don't even notice or recognise looks of S4.

Than put a f#cking TPU case around it and your HTC one looks like any other phone..
Well have fun with that chippin aluminium! Better don't drop it then you wish you had a S4 easy to repair!

You people are joking right? First of all buy a case you can make it look anyway you want. Second of all WHY would you care about how expensive somebody thinks your phone is. Of course it's nicer if it looks just as expensive as it is but i think it really says something about you as a person that you would sell your phone for that.

Sure but i think that if it's really so important to you than it should be the first thing you look for in a phone not something you would find out after you bought it.

Seriously, you just realized this AFTER buying the phone? I didn't buy Note II thinking it was a gorgeous looking phone coming from an HOX. Don't you like get to look at the display models before buying? Or at least watch videos or something?
And oh, S4 is MUCH nicer than S3/Note II. And I'm not even planning to switch to S4.
Oh, sh!t, status symbol blown!

I just buy online and when I received my white s4. I feel so disappointed coz white looks so much like previous phones from backside.
As black looks little more premium.
But overall it's bad design.

Return it back your clearly not happy with your purchase. Get something else if it bothers you that much on the way it looks simple.

You are disappointing bro.
Apple understood human nature long time ago and Samsung will follow soon enough. Most people will (over)pay for something as long as it can convey the impression of themselves as exclusive. No feature is as valuable as the mass appeal. Appearance and publicity are the new God. Welcome to the Matrix
It seems I took the wrong pills today

So before even watching the videos or looking at any pics, you ordered the device? What'd you expect exactly? Entirely your fault for not doing your research.
Either way, it seems more "premium" than S3/Note II to me personally. Don't like the design? Buy a back cover or shouldn't have even ordered it in the first place. Get an HTC One and be happy with it. Or an iPhone.
Hi guys. I use to have a galaxy note and I really enjoyed the S-Pen for its dawing abilities
i asked Samsung on twitter where I could buy a S pen for my S4 and they said its only for the note so I couldn't buy it..
do you know if the S-Pen works on the S4 & where I can order it?
big thanks!
S-pen does not work with the s4, you could try the c-pen samsung sells

Best buy sells OE replacement S-pens.
Now, I thought I saw video of some guy using a stylus on his S4 but maybe I'm mistaken.
My wife has a Note 2, spen from her note does not work on my Galaxy S4.
However I bought this:

I was killing some time last week at a Best Buy near a restaurant I was waiting on my wife to meet me at. They had just opened up their Samsung section in this location and I haven't been in a Best Buy in some time and decided to check it out.
They had the Note 2 and the 1st thing I did after trying the s pen was see if it worked on my S4 and it did not. Was kind of disappointed as the feel of the s pen on the Note was pretty amazing.
Yeah, and I just got a tweet from Samsung Belgium. they say the C-pen that was made for the S3 also isn't compatible with the S4 and that there's no stylus that Samsung made that is compatible with the S4... That's kinda dissapointing because I do want to draw on my S4, like I did on my old Note..
So any stylus suggestions are welcome ( and I did like the tiny size of the S-pen a lot.. )
thanks! :laugh:
The spen requires a dedicated digitizer on the screen. We don't have that, you can only use capacitive stylus types and trust me they suck.
Oh and you'll never be able to use them for pressure sensitivity like the spen..

The cpen works fine, kinda weird they would say that. You can even use the capacitive buttons

What's even more odd than them saying they don't support the C or S Pens, is that I've just discovered settings hidden in the S4 specifically for the S Pen.
I was using the app ''QuickShortcutMaker" to see if it was possible to access the call blocking settings that Verizon hid... When lo and behold there they were.
I've spent the last hour online trying to figure out if the S4 supports it but it obviously doesn't.
Extra lame since the settings are there!!

I was talking to an AT&T phone store employee about his Gear S at lunch today. He told me that they are going to have the Gear 2 for $100 this Friday. Sounds like they are blowing them out!
I got mine for $0

Should be the gear 2 neo only for 100$. Still not a bad deal, and... Getting something for 0$? Somebody else buy it for you, or is that a 5 finger discount?
Probably free with phone purchase.

"Samsung mobile insights" program, buddy. They've been giving out free phones and all kinds of stuff for testers. Just email them and get your hands on some goodies. Got a note 3, an S5, and a gear 2 so far
from my S5 (of course running Alliance beast, I mean ROM)

How did you get one without having to purchase a phone?
It's true. Regular Gear 2 is 99.99. Saw the print out of the Black Friday specials at the local AT&T store. No stores in the area have any stock but they let me order 2 for $99 last night. See this thread here http://slickdeals.net/f/7441796-at-t-galaxy-gear-2-99-in-store-only-ymmv?v=1
