I didn't receive multiple gifts, but I received the VR headset instead of the Gear S2 that I submitted for on launch day+1, and was approved to receive. After much digging online, I was able to get a hold of an "Interactive Producer" with Prize Logic. I spoke with her on the phone and I am in...

You're incorrect here. I ordered the phone (and established a new line of service) on verizonwireless.com exactly as required by the promotion. I only selected in-store pickup rather than delivery to my house, as I have a verizon store close to my work. I even have my online order confirmation...

I just spoke with a Prize Logic rep and explained that my tracking number shows a 1.4lb package, despite my having selected the Gear S2 watch. She put me on hold for 5 minutes and came back to say that, yes, in fact, my S2 order has been switched to a Gear VR, because they have run out of S2...

Submitted on 3/11 for the S2, got the "business account" error email, and finally got a tracking number this morning. At 1.4lbs, looks like it's going to be a VR rather than the watch, despite assurances from 3 reps on the phone that i was getting the watch. I'm sure they'll cite fine print and...

Submitted for the s2 on 3/11. Status went from ship date 4/18 to ship date pending a week ago, and now it's back to submission under review. Sigh.

Submitted for the S2 on 3/11. Still says ship date pending. Nothing in FedEx delivery manager.

Has anyone who registered for the S2 but received the email stating "you are only eligible for the Gear VR headset due to your purchase being linked to a business account" email, actually received a Gear S2 watch yet? I signed up for a completely new personal line of service with Verizon, and...

I'm curious what you all think about my likelihood of receiving the Gear S2 that I submitted for. I pre-ordered via Verizon's website and picked up the phone in-store on release day. Submitted all the paperwork on release day+1, and was approved shortly thereafter. Like some others on here, I...

Christmas time is nice but I'll tell you a secret santa isn't real :-(

HDMI dock No more random micro-hdmi cable snaking across my desk at work, scratching my tender man-forearm as I unknowingly place my arm on top of it.

I can't rotate the phone in my setup, but that's just because I mounted it right above the tuning knob of my stereo. After I had installed the magnet, but before remounting the trim piece on my dash, I tested the phone, and it held great in both portrait and landscape. I was able to shake the...

Hey everyone, I've lurked for a while but finally think I have a contribution to make, so I thought I'd share. I have been thinking over the last few days about cell phone vehicle mounts of all varieties, including DIY projects and commercial options. I wanted something to mount my Evo that...

Here's another one. This one I made from scratch:

I was out on a safari in the African Serengeti a couple weeks ago, proudly sporting my Evo despite a lack of cellular coverage. We were watching a pride of lions feast on a gazelle they had recently downed. I was snapping pictures with the 8MP camera on the Evo, when I noticed a small piece of...

I finally convinced my wife to ditch her blackberry and give Android a shot. She seems pretty excited about it. We were planning on picking her up the Samsung Intercept this Sunday, but something I saw in the Sprint press release was a little concerning. It says that the Intercept will have an...
