I was wondering if anyone was able to get the Classic? I had to settle for a black sport, what did you get?
I was thinking of doing that then returning it for Classic. I didn't want to deal with the hassle. Are you keeping your sporty version?
How do you guys like it? I went to see it @best buy. I found it kind of small on my wrist. It seemed to me a little more geared towards getting to get woman to buy it. Idk just my thought. Still debating on pulling the trigger

I got a black sport one to replace my original Pebble. I wore the Pebble all the time, shower included. It is definitely heavier than the Pebble, fits my small wrists nicely. My only complaint so far is there isn't a lot of nice free watch faces out there. Also, the vibration is very faint even on strongest. The Pebble had crazy vibration power.
I got the Classic. It was delivered so I have no hands on experience with the sports version to make a direct comparison to. I have a small wrist for a male and it fits me very well. I understand how it might not fit too well if you have a large wrist.

I still prefer the Classic better, leather band. I just wanted to play with it for a while I wait for the classic to come in stock. I was told the classic wouldn't arrive at Best Buy until the next friday. Overall the watch itself is very nice and the rotating bezel is just awesome, in terms of navigation.

I live in Korea and a couple weeks ago I got in on an early preorder promotion through a network provider here. Don't think that will help you though.

Says the same in the US... However, I have hope it will be temporary. Google plans to open retail stores (as does Microsoft, both to compete more directly with Apple I assume) and it would make no sense whatsoever if these accessories disappeared before the retail stores begin to appear. Maybe they're doing it intentionally or maybe they just have supply that cannot meet demand and delays in manufacturing. At any rate, I suspect we will see them back sometime in the very near future.
Maybe it's a sign that a new Nexus is on the horizon?

It looks like it's in stock if you navigate to the bumper directly from an old link, but if you just try to browse for it in the Play store, it's still no longer there. Just the wireless charger shows. I nabbed one off Ebay yesterday after it sounded like it was going to be discontinued permanently. Have a replica but the fit and finish difference is ultimately big enough to me that I'd prefer the genuine thing, for the black bumper at least.

I agree. The Replica's feel like there's a case on my phone. The real ones feel like it's part of the phone, no creaks or imperfections. Well worth the money to nab the official one.

That's a very good way to put it...I had bought the OEM one during the first wave of sales for it, but sold it during the time people were paying way more than retail for it. Having the replicas now, they do really feel like a noticeable case on the phone, whereas I remember how the OEM merged with the phone and practically became the phone. I couldn't shake that old memory and had to repurchase the real deal. The replicas are fun for the extra non-OEM colors though.

For $20 delivered it would be expensive but maybe worth it, but once you add tax and shipping it's almost $30. For rubber bumper.

AT&T Free Msg: We are experiencing a delay in the release of the Samsung Gear 2 and expect to ship your device on or around 4/30/14. We appreciate your business and are prioritizing your order.
Gear 2 Delayed
I have also received the same message. I am very disappointed as i was hoping to have it with the phone. If it is just shipping i will go and pick it up from the store..
Did you both order gold brown? Black and orange are showing 4/8 ship dates (though some people are getting tracking numbers today) but as of about a week ago the gold brown has said 4/30 for the ship date.
My black Gear 2 Neo is in Fedex's hands and schedule for delivery tomorrow.

@JakeStGermain What is your early impression of the Fit. I ordered the Neo because it seems to have everything the Fit does, but I prefer the look of the Fit. My primary purpose for the smart watch is the fitness capabilities.

Yes the Gold Brown was the color. I checked earlier at AT&T site and all colors now show 4/30 shipping, maybe it was the color choice though originally
I have the orginal gg. This is so much lighter and actually smaller than what I expected. I do like it so far though. I am running an early version of gear fit because it has not been released yet. Also they need to update the s health apk for it.

The fit is good for someone that just wants the basic apps. There is no app store for the gear fit(as of now). You get what is loaded on it. If you are fine with that then you will love it. Personally I didn't make or receive calls with my gear. I also think I used the camera about 5 times.
I used my gear to receive notifications instead of pulling out my phone to see who txt or emailed. And I used it as a fitness tracker. I also still have my watch if I want to use it (I doubt I will). The gear fit is also lighter than the Nike Fuel band.

I was incorrect about them all being 4/30, the charcoal was 4/8, but then they said it would still take 2 weeks after this to ship, so I am keeping the Gold one. I did love the look of it better anyway, but 3 more weeks will be tough : )

Well, there are two of us, if that helps. When I pre-ordered, it said April 8 for the ship date, so I assumed that all colors were being produced and would be available, particularly since they showed off a gold version at MWC. I'm curious if brick and mortar stores will have the gold on Friday, or if it's a case of Samsung not producing that color until later on (as I recall they've done at least once with a Galaxy phone). Look at it this way, there will probably be more apps and a software update or two out by the time we get ours, so maybe some of the bugs will be worked out.

Thank you, and I had already thought about more apps being available Too and appreciate the moral support.
has anyone seen their gold brown version ship yet today? I have been waiting and received no emails and check the website and it is still in pending status.
Nope, no update yet. Amazon shows them in stock now so I think they are making it to more retailers. AT&T is either last on the list or slow. Or both.

Yesterday I got Best Buy to match the 25% off three accessories that AT&T has. They had to order the watch but I got shipping confirmation and a tracking number already. This was for the black one, I didn't check any other colors.
Hausman, I got my shipping email and tracking number today for the Gold Brown model from AT&T! Should be here next Wednesday. I wish they had overnight shipping, or that they delivered on the release date, as Apple does for the iPhones, but at least it is coming now, and was at the Dallas Airport last. Cheers all!

Aha, awesome! I never got an email, but I did check my order status after a few people said they got notices over on AndroidCentral, and sure enough I have a tracking number. It's 2-day priority, so I would assume you'd have it by Saturday unless you're not in the continental US.

Great to hear, but regretfully mine is via UPS and it states next Wednesday. My son got the S5 phone a few weeks back, and it also too this long to arrive, so I will not hold out hope for Saturday, but Tuesday would be amazing! : ) I am a big fan of the Gear 1 since day one, and after reading all the posts, I still expect that I will truly love the Gear 2. It as good to see some apps having been released this past week even, that we will have from the day we get ours.
It's ready to buy!! GO GO GO!

So I guess no package deal with a gamepad? I thought there was an official announcement that there would be a $250 package.
Anyone have any recommendations for a gamepad to go along with the gear vr?

Damnit, guess I pulled the trigger too soon. Thanks though.
Now I'm dying to see if we can get it to work with CM12. I'll be using CM12 as a daily driver and IF Gear VR works on CM12 then I might buy it. But if it doesn't work, it's not worth the $200 and forced use of TouchWiz. I'd also accept MultiROM if we could get it out our devices, but that also seems unlikely.
Anyway, glad to see Gear VR finally on the market! Hope y'all enjoy it.

It's on their website now, was not yesterday. I spoke with Samsung and they said they found out from Verizon this morning and added it to the site then.
I was just about to by this today, but something told me to hold off and wait and I'm glad that I did. I just seen an article on Android Central stating that it wasn't compatible with Verizon or Sprint variants of the Note 4 at this time, and that the updates will be pushed out by the carriers.
If I would have spent $236 for this device and overnight shipping only to have a temporary plastic paper weight, I would have been extremely pissed.

Ahhh! Nice. I would definitely want to try these out first, though. Seeing is believing.
Also... A friend of mine asked me why Samsung chose to have the plastic overlay over the back of the phone. It blocks the camera. Did they not want people turning on the camera and stumbling around an augmented reality world or something?

More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.
Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.
