One thing thing I like about my G1 (besides everything)

I read some people saying they don't like it's "clunky" look or that it's simply not as sleek as the iphone. Well I don't think it's really that bad and see it as a disguise from thieves. Who wants to steal a phone that doesn't look that sleek?
Anyways...I have very little complaints about my phone because it has everything I need in a single device....finally!

AMEN!
I used to carry around my old phone AND an iPod Touch, but I traded my iPod on craigslist for a G1 and I couldn't be happier.
Unlike a lot of people I enjoy Android much more than mobile OSX because of the more hands on and in depth modding. On the iPod all you needed to do was download a package and BAM there it was, new feature.
I also like the fact that the G1 is unique, ugly but unique. It seems like half the world's population owns an iPhone.

And yet there are a hundred themes and out home replacement apps that try and replicate the iPhone look. Why the infatuation? The iphone is pretty inferior if you ask me. The it took the second iteration to support 3G. And now the third supports MMS, video, and copy paste. Then they have the balls to tout these features as new and cutting edge. My razr had 3G when iPhone one came out. Come on apple. This sums it up pretty well I think.

I think it's easy for us to forget that Apple's in the fashion industry.

I don't hate the iphone but I do find it funny how everyon brags about it. Up until now I wasn't able to find something that beats. In most every way. I do wish my phone had a regular headphone jack simply so I could charge it AND plug my headphones in but I think there is a workaround with an adapter. Other than that I don't think I could be happier

I don't like the feel of iphonies... they're the wrong shape and dont fit in your hand right. Too wide makes it difficult to reach parts of the screen with your thumb when holding it in one hand.

Not sure what I think
EDIT: posted in wrong forum *sigh* Mods feel free to do what you wish

I think it is an underpowered netbook.
Looks ok but I think I will stick to my netbook.

I will stick with pure Google experience tablet ... The one without customization ... The one that will receive update directly ... The one that is BLESSED by Google!
I don't know which one, probably the XOOM ... The Motorola Android tablet.

I really can't understand the success of tablets. I see their potential as a casual browsing device, but they fill a hole between phones and computers which wasn't all that gaping. They are completely a luxury object, without the nature of practicality and necessity which phones and traditional computers have, and at the overblown price some are sold at, its a wonder they shift so many units.
But the weirdest thing, I think, is rear facing cameras on tablets. I mean, who wants to whip out a device the size of a book or larger to take a photo? And yet it seems to go unquestioned, even celebrated.

Tablet is nice ... more portable compare to laptop ... and bigger screen compare to mobile phone.
I need one and I need one now
Because I can see me using it in the couch ... bed ... sofa ... etc.
And yes, I don't need rear camera .... and give me WIFI only ...
No wifi only = no deal ...

As one of the XDA reviewers and long time users of both STRATA and FRAME, I'm drooling over this
The Verge just did a write up as well: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5277128/metawatch-meta-premium-smartwatch-brand
Coincidentally, Pebble going to introduce Pebble Steel which is the same as regular one but with a metal frame/bracelet, but it's nowhere near as elegant as this one. Sorry, but I think it was brilliant how they incorporated 4 corner buttons as part of the bracelet buckle (obviously Frank Nuovo design). Also, fantastic move to switch to epaper display.
Can't wait to test it out!!!

yeah really like the new steel pebble, the matte black with leather strap looks really nice
still, wish HOT Watch would be getting here sooner, really want to try the private calling function, if it's not to my liking i'm interested in something else

Btw, I haven't seen anybody confirm those hinges are secured by 4 corner buttons. I'm just assuming they are keeping functionality unchanged since the original MW has 6 buttons and going down to 2 would be too much of a change. I'm also curious if it's going to be waterproof like FRAME and if they're going to use a similar charging clip or something else, maybe magnetically attached one? As soon as I find out more details, hopefully after CES, I will post it in here.

I am more excited if there are much faster development on the Android software front!
I like the new hardware of course but at the moment pebble steel wins overall due to the solid development work on both official and unofficial software.
Still praying hard for my metawatch frame to be revived with this new announcement!

At last I can say WOW!!!

I had my mind set on the HTC M9. The "leaks" from evleaks had me drooling.
Watching the live event left me disappointed, then on to Samsung.
For me that phone is utterly stunning, I can't wait to get hold of this & add Nova Prime etc.

I agree with you, it does look outstanding. I cannot understand why so many people are complaining. Samsung have been rightly criticised for their lack of design, especially on the flagship devices. They did a good job with the Note 4 and they upped the bar with the S6.
The usual iDiots complaining it somehow looks like an iPhone, which apart from a similar speaker grill - it clearly does not... There will be those that gripe about the lack of removable battery and SD card of course (and they may have a point) but WAKE UP! This is a phone made by Samsung that actually looks gorgeous and actually looks like a flagship phone.
I am more of a Note fan so I won't be buying an S6 but am very much looking forward to seeing what they come out with for Note 5 this year if it builds upon this revamp of the Galaxy range.

I think the phone looks great. One issue that will bug the crap out of me is the fingerprints on the back. I want the black one, but may have to get white to mask it.

Next issue is spending the extra money for the 128gb. I need the storage.

Just curious. What do most people use all that storage for.

First take into account the OS size, so 32 is now 30 if you're lucky. If you have a kid like me, you take a lot of pics and vids. Average 13mp photo is 5mb or so each. Now with this phone, I'd have to copy all the data on my 128gb SD off to the phone storage. Taking into consideration I had a S4, S5, N3, N4, G2, G3, iphone 6. All photos and vids from each of those I have on my SD. It adds up.

Waterproof case

Has anyone been able to find a Waterproof case for the Tab S7? I have been searching everywhere and cant find one. I really dont want to put the whole thing in a waterproof "bag" type case but i will if I have to. I would think they would have them out by now.
Thanks,

Well I think water proof bag might be the only choice for devices like this. Model-specific water-proof case for phones is kind of niche, and even more so for tablets, let alone an Android tablet... Bag should work fine for occasional use just not as convenient or elegant

Never count on a device or case to be waterproof unless designed for diving. Even then you need to keep an eye on it.

Yeah I knew it would be slim pickings. It would never be submerged and its mostly for heavy rain/dust (Mounting in a Polaris RZR) for navigation and music.
I was hoping there would be one for a flagship device.
We've got a heat sealer at work so I just heat sealed some polypro bags to the right size to try out this weekend. HOpefully someone comes out with one but I have what seems to be a decent bump case on it for now.
