You talk like the bloatware is necessary to today's smartphones. News flash! It's not. I've been in the computing industry for 30+ years, and I share his frustration. It's MY device. I paid for it. Not only should I be able to uninstall anything I want to, I should be able to change the OS if I...

So far my gear has yet to last 6 hours on a charge. My Pebble gets 6 days. The little extra function hardly seems worth it. YMMV

Re: Worth it? Nope. Not worth it's price. Sweet spot for smartwatches would be ~$150.

Not me. Gorilla Glass is damned hard to scratch and screen protectors are unsightly.

Well, I don't use "Airdroid" but I know the phone can send notifications to more than one device at a time because mine is sending them to both my Gear and my Pebble simultaneously. Don't know if that helps.

Well, you can buy those very ones at the Apple Store and they'll work fine with your S4. LOL But Best Buy, Target, WalMart, etc. all still carry that style earphone. Otherwise, Amazon. Amazon.com: Earphones Stereo Headset with Mic and Remote: Cell Phones & Accessories

I own both, and if you don't think of the Gear as a phone but only as an extension, and you have no use for the ****-poor photos it takes, Pebble is FAR superior. Seriously.

My Gear lasts about 4 hours on a charge. I'm using it only for selected things. Still using my Pebble for everyday.

Honestly, I find the notifications worthless. If it were my reason for buying the watch, I'd return it too. I've rooted and an enjoying hacking it.

Re: Whats your favorite apps to sideload into the Galaxy Gear Well, I thought the lack of a calculator was a huge oversight on Sammy's part, so the first thing I sideloaded was a calculator app. Also,Word Search, Compulsive, and Sudoku Master.

Re: What color gear did you buy Ordered Mocha Gray from Amazon. They shipped me Rose Gold by mistake. Took a look at Rose Gold and decided to keep it. If the band gets discolored I might regret it, but the Rose Gold is beautiful.

Not me, and I've burned through 6Gb in a few consecutive hours before when streaming movies while camping.

It is true. It's a true PITA to switch from 3G to 4G and back. You don't want to do it. When you make the leap to 4G (and it's well worth it) just jump with both feet and never look back. Sell you old phone.
