I just got recruited for a U.S. study of Gear owners.
Sounds pretty standard - Samsung are trying to figure out to how make things better and paying $200 to participants willing to give Galaxy Gear feedback for about 2 weeks.
Not sure how many they're taking but I spoke to a Jairo Rojas at the research company they hired at 818-530-1004 if anyone wants to get in on it. I got recruited because I also did a focus group in Los Angeles a while back.
Seems pretty cool way to make Gear better and make a little side cash..
So call and ask for ?

I am too old and cynical for this. Could be true, but if they ask for too much personal information, or money, then stay away, is what I would recommend.
If all turns out great, then that would be wonderful, but this is the Internet we are talking about, so be wary.

I know I got recruited because I participated in the past in focus groups with this company in LA so I know they're legit. While not a much fun as beer focus groups, I thought it relevant to share since we all want to see Gear get better.
I'm sure Google is doing similar things with Glass owners, etc. Plus the money never hurts as well.

many companies are giving a call and asking how did you like their product or service. does it mean they care about customers?
not really. this is the illusion of care...
Focus group are a thing of the past.
Acceleration and Innovation comes with putting a release out there and, test and learn which is what happening with gear 1,and the manager platform.
Samsung is learning now, real time, as everyone uses the products. Gear2 will be a great version. They will pack as much crap in there as they can because, it's setting the bar for the rest of wearable tech.
Gear 2 will be released in September at IFA..

I have some reservations about this statement. This is not the case, as they are trying to keep this product in a certain price point. As with most tech, small and incremental improvement, ie "refinements" are more likely on the future horizon.

And I won't break any rules this time, I'll make sure to ask permission from the creator to edit his/her content and post it on our device, and this will be the LAST ROM I will be porting, if I do. After that, I'm done porting and I will be upgrading to either the iPhone 5 or the HTC One or S Blaze
OT: Which should I get?
(A) a Nokia Lumia windows phone
(B) An HTC One/One S
(C) an iPhone 5
(D) a Galaxy S family phone

I've thought about getting a Windows Phone. Specifically the Lumia 521. I love the UI and hardware but I think not having apps like Instagram would be hard (its my favorite social network). I have also thought about the LG L9.

The iPhone 5 is nice. Especially the camera. I would get one but I cannot afford it. I would get the iPhone over the One S, better hardware and the new iOS update should be pretty remarkable with Johnny Ive handling it.

"The only winner is Windows" That was the conclusion of the article, because appearantly M$ has enough patents and licences to cover all makers of Windows Phone - Capacitive screens or not! So Sammy and LG "could" produce Windows Phones and pay MS their cut and call it a day
The reason why we'll never see the end of Android (well at least in the next 10-20 years) is that the market share is so paramount. Such an event would have so many economical consequences that the governments would step in before anything would happen.

It'll also be held up in appeals for years. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this would only cover OEM keyboards that come pre-installed. I really doubt that it would affect third-party apps like SwiftKey. Worst case scenario, there will end up being some kind of technical workaround that approximates current usage but skirts the patent. There's no real reason to worry about this.

Full functionality with the exception of S-Voice (though I have read others have been able to get it working - i'm not really interested in S-Voice just yet).
Notifications I had to manage without using Gear Manager (the latest Gear update added a HUGE notification update) using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597260
You may have better luck getting gear manager to work on your S3. I had too many issues trying to get it to work and once I got notifications to work using the method above - stopped caring about Gear Manager.

You probably didn't think about it before you posted but this is a pretty insulting thread. Most of us paid $299 so either we're idiots or thought it was worth $299 when we bought it. This comes across more as you bragging about the "deal" you're getting than a real question meant to be answered.

I don't see it as insulting. You pay a premium for bleeding edge, we all know that.
