Hey all
LG have announced the G Watch R will be available in key markets early in the forth quarter of 2014. The device will be available for preview during IFA 2014(September 5-10), so more information on the exact date and pricing should be available very soon.
We do have some leaked info on the price. An Official Press Release has suggested the price will be €299 which converts to around £237/$394/AU$420. These are direct conversions, so will unlikely be the exact price on release. More than likely, the conversion of price from Euro the the pound will be at 1:1, so it would not surprise to see this device in the UK go for around £299 on release.
If anybody comes across any pre-order listings, feel free to share:good:
I will update this as info comes in:good:
Wow! That's expensive! But I am still looking forward to the G Watch R. ☺
$300 for a smartwatch that looks this good, if it has the battery to back it up, would be more than reasonable

$300 for a smartwatch that uses flaky P-OLED technology is not reasonable at all in my opinion.
Man, this forum is dead compared to the 360 forum pre-release...
Is anyone else excited about this thing?

The problem is that there Isn't any news about price or release date, no pre-order and no review.

Yup, the forum is dead because LG is not ginning up the press like Moto did. But so long as
LG comes with a quality product, I don't mind one bit.

I'll have to see it in person to know if that 2/10ths of an inch size difference from the Moto 360 makes much difference...
I don't think it will be a deal breaker, though.

Yeah, it's better for us to consolidate information into this thread as well as topics about this phone. I came from S3 then I sold it because the problems we're emerging ever so slightly so I'm using a symbian phone atm :lol:

Yes, but i'm gonna wait for a few months and see if it will not be a disappointment like what happened to the N4.
Dbgadgets thru their fb page announced availability by Nov 5 for 24k. It may sound high but that's the reality for countries without gadget purchasing ability thru play store. Same as when n4 was initially released here

Provide pics please! I went to LG yesterday just to ask when N5 will be released, no formal announcement was issued as of late. Maybe we will expect it by mid November or December. I'll wait for it to come out at GH though, N4 at GH at its prime was around 16-18k.
A mate of mine at LG says it will be out for release in late December early January. No promises though, they are concentrating on the LG flex release.

I hope that this is not old news for everyone.
I am not sure, how reliable this is, but redstar (http://www.redstar.co.jp/google.htm) thinks, that the official announcement/release of the nexus5 will be on october 14th.
They accept pre-orders for just under 50.000 Yen (~380€ / 510US$) and say, they will ship it for that price, even it get's more expensive.
If it costs less, they will refund the difference.

Well, last year they had a presser scheduled but a hurricane derailed it so they had a "private" announcement through TheVerge.com and let Josh Topolsky play with the devices and show them on camera.
I imagine it might be something again along those lines with google play store taking pre-orders on the 15th and shipping by month's end.
I should hope there's an announcement before the release. I need to put my nexus 4 on ebay, wait for it to sell, payment to process, etc
Wish I could just afford the phone straight up. Still not going to get a better phone for the price off contract if the 299/399 rumors are true. Really have my fingers crossed that the 32gb coming with a 3000 battery are true, and that the camera on this will be at least as good as the camera on my gs2 was.

The only explanation for this messy launch is some sort of supply chain issue. I wonder what happened?
Those prices though!
In Canada, I can only imagine the price with the exchange rate and taxes will put it well over $1000. Not sure how I feel about this.
Lol way to botch a launch. So much Samsung in my house you know they ship tons of stuff.... So why can't they get it right? Could also be a difference in culture. I know in America we want the latest and we want it now... Maybe over there things don't get as much interest?
Any news on UK and Asia launch

I'm not spending over $1k, that's insane. To me there is no phone worth that much. Especially when I consider the features of Touchwiz that I don't use. I have always said that I wouldn't buy a phone that did not include both a micro SD slot and removable battery after owning an S3. If prices are this high the Nexus 6/X will move way up my list and I'll hold off to see what it offers. Here's to hoping they offer it to us for $850 maximum.

Hmm, so it says in fine print you're trade in phone needs to be worth $10 or more, and you'll get check for difference between $200 and your trade-in value.
So glad I kept my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket in a drawer for the last couple years. Shows it's worth $26 trade in. So can get a check for $174, and can get the Note 4 for really cheap.
How do you find out how much your phone is worth? I got my old fascinate.

Lolololol. Its just a phone. And its just a month. Who cares which one comes out first? Apple fans will buy Apple products, Samsung fans will buy Samsung products, etc. Not pleased but yet you're still getting one? Who are you kidding.
P.S. Verizon has the pre-order for only the white note 4. Sprint starts on Sept. 26th. AT&T has white and black for pre-order now.
and the verizon note 4 ships on Oct. 23.
I got a different (and better) trade in value by going to
trade-in.vzw.com
I traded in an old (and unused for the past several years) iphone 4.
They appraised it at $65.
I really didnt care about the trade in price as long as it was more than $10.
They are sending the shipping materials, then I will just have to wait for the Note 4 to arrive so I can fill out the form on the Samsung webpage to get the $135 balance.
Bottom line is that the Note 4 only cost me $99 !

hey everyone, it looks like AT&T is shipping the galaxy s6 4 days ahead of their official shipping date. I got mine shipped today and estimated delivery is on Tuesday! Hopefully most other AT&T devices shipped today as well. Also, this is my first Samsung phone since the galaxy s2. I want to know somethings I need to look out for in this new phone, regarding software, the locked boot loader on AT&T models etc.
Thanks,

Because we monitor progress on the device in hopes that a means of rooting will be found. That way we know what is going on in the community and are aware of existing issues so we can hit the ground running rather than posting a million noob questions (thus minimizing the number of 'google that, noob' posts clogging well developed threads).

Yes, I did. Will be here next Wednesday.
I'll add that I am anxious to get my grubby paws on it. All these years have been black phones starting with the OG Droid A855. But the A855 had gold accents that made it look elegant. I got used to the old 24k theme on it and have themed my phone with FFCC66 ever since. When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

But that's how xda is no one uses the threads already created so we just end up with clutter... Just because it's a different color doesn't mean it needs it's own thread.... There's already a waiting room....
Hmm, I just did a search for the waiting room thread, can't find it anywhere in my searches. Since the Almond was not released at the same time and is a limited edition, I think a separate thread is well warranted. So I suppose the only thing that could be clutter is someone who is not waiting for this color of phone.
But what do I know? I've only been around these sites for 10+ years.

I'll add that I am anxious to get my grubby paws on it. All these years have been black phones starting with the OG Droid A855. But the A855 had gold accents that made it look elegant. I got used to the old 24k theme on it and have themed my phone with FFCC66 ever since. When the HTC One M8 came out, I went for the gold one, but soon after Motorola came out with the Nexus 6 and I had to have some Motorola again.
I first started a trade-in with my 6T then found out that the Almond was a limited edition. So I figured the next day I would change it from a voucher to a cash back trade in. Talking to CS was a chore for me, the girl clearly did not really understand a word I was saying, she only knew how to catch on to like one word and then quote from her script. The script was the part of the FAQ that said they don't change the trade ins from voucher to cash back. I went on to tell them to just cancel the trade in and save them some money. She just kept saying Yes, yes, yes. Arg! Asking for someone else with better linguistic skills, I was told there are no others. Hehe.

Oh I am as well. Finally got shipping info and I'll have mine Tuesday or hopefully sooner. Can't wait to see that beauty. I feel your pain man, it seems as if every darn company goes across the globe for service center workers which is seriously annoying. While I am sympathetic to OP in lieu of some fast growth they should have thought more about the reps talking to the world and having some good English knowledge. Thanks for sharing your smartphone walk here. In my case I started with the LG G3 (BLACK), went to Note 5 (black), S8 (black), note 8b(black), so (blue for 30 days then sold it). Op5t (black), op6 (black then red), 6t (mirror black), stint with a Mi8 (blue sold after 2 months - wanted to try Xiaomi), gotbq P2XL (black)b my current 2 dailys are P2XL AND OP6T. Looking forward to a limited edition 7 Pro myself ??

I'm going to have mine Monday according to the tracking info I have now. I will post some pics as soon as I have it up and running the way I want. Or sooner, lol.
Suffer me this. My smartphone 'walk' actually started with the Motorola A4500, code named Napoleon, also known as the Q9n. It was a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone that we had to hack to unlock the GPS chip for third party apps. It was probably this first phone to really run google maps on Verizon. It was never released, maybe about 200 or so were 'leaked' out to the public. It was cool because it said "Engineering Release Only" on one side and "Not for the Public" on the other.
My Android walk was the A855, then the Galaxy Nexus, toyed with the Motorola razrM just because I got one that the bootloader could be unlocked on, then the HTC One M8 because it could be unlocked as well and the Gnex was getting old. Samsung doesn't make phones to last IMHO. Then Motorola with the Nexus 6. Motorola makes phones. I didn't see anything with what I wanted in a phone that would outdo the Nexus 6 until the Oneplus 6T, four years later. And here I am now. The 6T has been a finicky beast when it comes to flashing ROM's and such. For me, especially restoring Nandroids. So when I got soft bricked recently, I saw the 7 Pro and then in Almond and figured, I'll get that one, rock it, root it, rom it, and then just enjoy it for a few years. Screw all the updates. I learned on the A855 that although being able to run the latest on it is not always the greatest as the hardware was pretty much designed for the software available at the time. It might go one or two steps, but then your performance is going to fall off. That's why my Nexus lasted four years. It's still on Lolipop 5.1.1 and running well as it is again my daily driver while I wait to get this one.
Well, its here. I'm on my nexus 6 right now so I hope I can figure out how to post the one picture. The almond back is sort of pearlish and I really like the gold outer band. I've got it charged and now to go full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes and unlock the bootloader etc.
