Does anyone have them in stock?

Went to local AT&T store for Note 3 + Gear. Got the Note, but the store didn't have any watches.
When I left, I called the one closer to work - they got some today but already sold out. Guess I picked the wrong store. I spend a while calling AT&T & T-Mobile stores around - nada. Even tried BB & RS - no luck there. Tried T-Mobile online, also all sold out.
Is this a real bad roll out, or is someone hoarding all the watches?

Tmo has oatmeal available

Bad Roll out. But Samsung always has these , I wonder if there was any hesitation on Sammys part given the atrocious reviews some people had.
It seemed like people were downright offended by this product.

The only one I have ever seen is the one I own. Never set eyes on one in a store etc? Note 3, yes, the Gear not a whiff? No idea why? Without the Note 3 the Gear is useless at present? Some very odd marketing with Samsung. This is nothing new in this country for this company though.

Cant see Samsung offending too many customers as trying to get the Gear is near impossible at present?

Samsung is being weird.
I think reviewers online and many potential customers were offended by the price. When it was discovered that the notifications were useless for anything other than Messaging/Email sites and there comments were full of bashing. For $300 people expected alot more....or maybe Samsung is getting backlash from iPhone fanboys ??
I dont know but people are bashing the Gear and its price tag everywhere.
Honestly if this was 150$-200$ OR if it worked the way people thought...reviews would be a little better.

If you compare what is on the market at present the Samsung is head and shoulders above the rest in terms of technology, functionality and software. I have said this many times and will write it again IF its fact the gear has a sapphire crystal that would well justify the price. You don't find sapphire crystals on watches costing 300.00€
I have niggles about the gear as well BUT would not dream of purchasing the Sony branded watches nor the others and I collect watches.
The Gear can make and receive calls and sms's that is a major selling point. If I can manage to get S-voice working wi fi free (the manual says it only needs blue tooth) I would be more satisfied as driving the car one need not takes ones eyes of the road to make nor receive calls My doubts lie in other areas like the strap and clasp. having written that there are no better in that regard either?
New technology is always expensive. Wait for the iWatch that will bring iTears to ones eyes. One other point, the price will have dropped like a stone within a few months in any case.

in the UK the galaxy gear is £300
300 British Pound Sterling equals
482.01 US Dollar
if its 300 us dollar now that cheap, bloody uk always more

Best buy Conway Arkansas
Best buy in Conway Arkansas has the gear. Only in gray. Love this watch. Best Buy also honored t mobiles 25% off coupon. Got it for $260.......

in the UK the galaxy gear is £300
300 British Pound Sterling equals
482.01 US Dollar
if its 300 us dollar now that cheap, bloody uk always more

After way too much digging, I finally found one. Best Buy has some little cell stores in the area, but they showed on BB's store search (click item & search stores to see who has it).
At the store, they told me they got 5 the night before & sold 1 before mine. (They got 3 black, 2 white)
Why this little store had them when the full BB's had no clue what I was talking about... I have no idea.

I got mine for 225 amd couldn't be happier. Too bad I have to wait for the note 3 but it works fine with my s 4 just wish I didnt have to go back to this phone. Im gonna see if I download all the samsung stuff on an htc one with stock android if it will work which I highly doubt it will.

This Samsung launch was rather smooth compared to the Apple launch.
My store got one Gear in and it sold fairly quickly. Pretty impressive device.

Just picked a Mocha-colored unit from the local Ann Arbor, MI Bestbuy store. I haven't worn a watch in years and now am wearing one because of Gear! I don't know why some people don't think this watch is nice looking. It looks just fine to me, definitely having the quality and stylish look.
I'm trying it out right now but so far, so good.

Sometime this year apparently. Google has officially moved Glass out of it's labs, and towards a consumer edition.
They are ending the explorer program on January 19th, 2015.
http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/15/go...m-shuts-down-team-now-reports-to-tony-fadell/

I had a pair for about 2 weeks and sold them last night on eBay for nearly what I paid for them. I found no compelling need for them, in fact found them disappointingly useless. I had hoped to read entire emails and texts and only got portions of them. Glad I didn't invest the $200 or so for Rx lenses.
I had about the same problem with my Moto 360, which I also had for a few weeks and sold.
Maybe consumer glass will do better in a year or two.

gear VR availability by country

Please post any news when they become available in your country (other than the ones that sell them now), still no news from bahrain or saudi.
I just saw my former colleague who is based in the US now, he posted in facebook some vids of his son and his mom playing with the gear vr and simply put both were amazed.
Now im really jealous. websites like souq here are selling them at outrageous prices and there's chances they might not work here too because of the software update :crying:

Root it and just change the build.prop to 910F, and the problems with the updates will disappear. Ordered mine from the US and I am using it with my n910c without issues (used HopShopGo).

Right after I found out about http://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/2qcrzp/howto_enable_gearvr_on_exynos_note4/
I went ahead and ordered the VR from Samsung US. I've been enjoying mine for more than a month now.
By the way, I'm in Bahrain, and I have an Exynos Note 4. You just have to deal with the flicker issue on most apps start-up, but I think it is worth it. My friends were really impressed when I let them try it.

I am in Bahrain as well and let me tell you, the experience is life changing lol, I have been waiting for three years to try a VR headset to see what it looks and feels like, and best way to describe it is for you to go get big swimming goggles, remove the glass part and look around
it is amazing, just order it from the US if you are curious... but aside from the awesome experience let me remind you that there will be a better version released sometime this summer. plus Razer is making their own VR headset for about 200 dollars that you can pretty much plug into anything (release is this July) and some rumors are flying about a summer release of the actual oculus rift... so if you are not in a terrible hurry, maybe you should wait a bit
The only downfalls of the Gear VR are three things...
1. you will need a Bluetooth controller for the good games...
2. the fact that it runs on battery life only without being able to plug it in... so watching a movie in it is kind of nerve wrecking near the end as I keep hoping the battery wont die by then end of the movie
3. Not much content, yeah its an AMAZING experience, but I haven't used it for weeks because there is nothing interesting to use with anymore, I have used all the good stuff, every week or 2 there is an app or two added... so far nothing ground breaking and mostly demos. makes me wish I had paid my money for the Oculus DK2 at least I would have tons more content.
Those are my 2 cents, hope they help

little OT: whats the GEAR VR price in BAHRAIN? or qatar?

^ i believe its not available in the middle east yet.
^^ would it work with non-rooted phones in the GCC area?

PARIS, FRANCE,EUROPE,PLANET EARTH = ZERO so far !
To be Released later someday in 2015

Italy...is coming next week
Hi friends,
Some rumours say that next week will be available for Italian market.
I don't want wait more so I decided to buy one from Us, from bestbuy , but I am a little bit afraid that it won't work with my Note 4 Sm-N910F building NK5. Does anyone knows if the US version of gear vr works with it?
Thanks

Would this work if I flash N910c rom on my N910h and change the build.prop to 910f?
Are you using a custom rom?

I thought the Gear VR was supposed to work out of the box with the n910H and K? Switched my build.prop to n910h and it installed just fine. Are you running the latest version along with lollipop?

Zuk Deal... Too good to be true??

Hey guys, I just ordered myself a Grey Zuk Z1 from AliExpress seller called LuckyDog :silly:
It's $209 including shipping to New Zealand. Looks too good to be true but I did it anyway. The seller has only started selling on AEx earlier this year but he has 100% positive feedback.
I am waiting and not very sure what to expect. Everything in the ad looks legit.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...E-WCDMA-CDMA-Smartphone-Dual/32644824011.html
Take a look and let me know.
I have also decided to mod the skin myself instead of the custom skins rip offs being sold around. I got a car Decal Vinyl for about 90 cents and it's going to look mean as.

Anybody?

its kinda too late to give you an advice, isnt it?
do you want to hear that this is a safe and good buy?
i would not buy a phone frome a seller with only 300 sells ... these sells may be fake?
i bought mine from amazon shipped directly from ZUK and did so because i want to have a good service in case the homebutton breaks, which will happen sometime.
i hope your device will arrive at your place and youre happy with the device

Actually it makes sense to do so, as I can cancel my order anytime before it ships. So I can still do so. How do you spot a fake Zuk, actually why would you fake something that is already very cheap?
I won't worry too much about warranty, I can fix things myself (hardware) when it gets to that as shipping things around from NZ is very expensive. Not to mention that with me rooting the device, I do not expect warranty anyway. Plus, people has been having troubles with ZUK's support so adds up to me not relying too much on warranty.
You are making a compelling argument nevertheless and the point you have raised which I agree with is regarding the product being fake.

i dont get it why you ask for opinions if you defend your position anyway
i just stated i would never buy a phone from a new seller especially at aliexpress. i rooted my device after using it for 2 months, now 7 months after buying it the home buttons feels sluggish.
i didnt pressed it for 5 months because i used mrcoldbirds rom and since a few weeks the nuclearrom but youre right, if you want to tear the phone apart you can fix it by yourself
no more answers from me

I didn't mean to sound defensive. You're right there.
Maybe I should break it down to questions, makes it easy to stay on track
- Has there been any reports of bad or fake Zuk Z1?
- Has there been any complaints of Zuk Z1 devices bought of AliExpress
- Any cheap alternatives to buy the phone for someone in New Zealand?
Thanks heaps for your input and time, feeling a bit ashamed for not thanking you earlier.

Should I buy the Pebble Time?

Hey,
I have one gathered before me which costs around 95GBP, including shipping to my country.
I've told my dad that I'm interested in getting a watch and particularly this one. However, since it's my first time wearing a watch, will it be comfortable will I notice it, do I sleep with it? wink:
I'm pretty much sold with pebble, I like their direction, the price is right, now I need a final push to order it.
Persuade me into getting the watch please. :slight_smile:
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Peppa

I was looking for a simple smartwatch that can show notifications and who's calling, i spent almost two weeks seeing reviews about android wear and Pebble. I ended up ordering a Pebble Time yesterday What had me sold was the battery life, the dev support, brightness in direct sunlight and the simplicity of the watch (and the price )

Pebble watches are the only smart watch that is also compatible with iOS. This was my big selling point.
