Or would it be TWatch Tablet Watch. IDK Or Care, all I know is this might be the one I'll finally sucker in on and get... Full fledged android on a 3 inch display watch...
A fellow geek cashier at CVS told me about it after we were talking about his Galaxy Gear. LoL! I said the Gear and others were too minimal and small for me.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-rufus-cuff-more-than-a-smartwatch-a-wrist-communicator#home
http://rufuslabs.com/
They begin shipping in september.
But let's begin talking about it... Too big, too small?
I think 3 inches might be the prime size for a smartwatch, certainly some would prolly say 3 inches too big, but obviously in a full fledged android wrist watch, 2 inches is too small for me not that I've messed with one that size yet but it seems and sounds pretty crammed up together and cramped, I've played around with a few 3 and 4 inch android phones and when ya put it in landscape it's easy to navigate everything.
I think this will certainly be the phablet of smartwatches, and when phablets very first came out everybody said no that's too big nobody will want that and now ya see more phablets in peoples hands than you see standard sized screens/phones typically and they keep raising the bar on the size.
It'll be great when they start making these with a smaller more slimmed down base and a somewhat flexible display, so far the problem with a lot of smartwatches is they high tower up off your wrist making it almost clunky and a lil out of place.
So what do you think?
I think the Pine may have some stiff competition.
Why? The pine is a wrist phone, the rufus a smartwatch.
Anybody pre-order theirs yet I'm thinking about doing it next month or so.

Not yet, I'd say wait till september when they start shipping the project kickstarter cuff's maybe by then a real user will give a full in-depth review...
The most in-depth review so far is the video title in this thread "The Rufus Cuff and Super Smart Watches". that's the best one I can find so far.
That is useful. I wonder if that size smartwatch would make more sense as a watch phone?

Or we got Phablets. So why not a Phatch?!!?!! LoL
Yea it looks like it'll be a brreeze replying to text messages on, or quick searches and what not.
Have you coined a new phrase for the phablet sized smartwatch? Bloggers take note.

There's so many hybrid words/phrases ya could call it the possibilities are almost limitless. I like Twatch more it sounds more techy than Phatch to me, then the spelling of Twatch instantly makes me think of something coming out of the terminator movies. :laugh:.
I did this for now until I get the rufus cuff. LoL

Hello everybody!
Has anyone got his Rufus Cuff yet and can tell us about the first E impressions?
Greeting Icke
Hopefully someone did... The last post was 2014!
I've got the Rufus Cuffs. The ROM sucked. slow. and apparently there was a new rom for it.
I tried to flash it and now I see smudges and stripes.
The only rom I could flash from now on is the Ticwris MAX V1
I couldnt even flash the 1.9 version

It's just a branded dm100 so if you are interested in it you will save a lot of money by buying it on aliexpress as a dm100 / lemfo lem t / ticwris max
Unfortunately, I had bought the Rufus Cuff at the time. I use it every day (my only phone), but the back of the case does not hold. The plastic is too thin, it breaks on the bracelet holders.
Reception is poor, if you only use 2G it is better.
Greetings and Merry Christmas, Icke

Leider hatte ich mir damals die Rufus Cuff gekauft. Ich verwende sie täglich (mein einziges Handy), aber die Gehäuserückseite hält nicht. Der Kunststoff ist zu dünn, es bricht an den Armbandhalterungen.
Der Empfang ist schlecht, wenn man nur 2G verwendet ist er besser.
Gruß und schöne Weihnachten, Icke

this is a good vid, shows all the leads etc that we will get and the unit itself which looks good.
hopefully in the next day or 2 they will upload the guy running through the software so we can see what software they included and how much they have improved it from the announcement model (if they have sorted the lag and changed or improved anything).
yeah, I'd like to see how it runs and how well it goes through the panels.
I'm considering purchasing one, just not right away...

Sigh... after watching the video, somehow just adds to the feeling that it really ain't much of a big improvement over the X1. But well, will still get it. And hopefully, it'll be out before the 1 year warranty of my X1 expires so that I can send it for servicing. Gotta get my keyboard issue resolved, now that I realized it ain't to do with me using a custom ROM.
If you want it to feel like a "big thing" just simply think of it as a standalone phone from the Xperia series, not as a successor to the X1.
After you establish that fact, it's just a new phone in the lineup.
I hope they won't put those pathetic earphones in the final set.
I would like to LAUGH one more time about their decision to use micro usb when all the companies in the undustry have agreed to use mini usb.
Midway through the video, just after he puts in the battery (which looks to be a standard X1 BST-41 ) - he hits a switch on the side. I was originally going to ask if that might be a Hold switch like the ASUS phones have - but I realize now its actually just a battery case lock - oh well.
Can't say I like the reduction of the buttons, makes for less customization, the micro-usb means I need to get mini-micro adapters (90% of all usb non-USB-A devices I've owned since 2002 have had Mini-USB plugs). Flat screen is nice though, being a little bigger can't hurt. Nice camera, but lower frame-rate on VGA recording like the X1a now for all editions? Mostly same specs though and no idea what software it will break... makes me with hold judgment on whether I'd ever buy it though. That and the fact I have a brand new X1 to play with in my hand right now .
Peter
P.S. Just saw your reply above me orelsi, I wish Mini-USB were the standard but I keep reading that it's now micro-usb - I'd be happy if you can prove me wrong on this Ref: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2341261,00.asp
On 23 April, Samsung begun a countdown for the next galaxy with an anagram.

}
Yesterday, the countdown finally stopped and a teaser for the upcoming galaxy was posted.
SUMMARY OF VIDEO ACCORDING TO ME----
The video begins in the wilderness showing a distant city, all lit up in the night. The camera then zooms into outer space along with text that reads ‘Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand’. This is a subtle hint that the phone won’t be as massive as the Galaxy Note or possibly, the Galaxy Nexus. I have a feeling Samsung may just stick to the 4.3-inch screen but with a much higher resolution. This makes perfect sense and I hope they do that.
The camera then pans out across different galaxies along with another line, ‘Your view of the world grows even wider’. This could hint at the aspect ratio of the new phone. Any Other Guess! Anyone.
Then, it goes deeper into the universe and text appears, "AS YOU GAIN THE POWER TO EXPLORE IT FREELY & SWIFTLY', this time i'm cluelss.
Here comes the funniest part, the iSheeps, which shows a herd of sheep and the line, ‘…everyone else’.
The video ends with the Samsung logo and those very same blobs of metallic paint we saw in the invite. This definitely hints to the type of material used in the chassis of the S III or if not, at least the colours it will be available in. Sadly, at this moment, we don’t have any real clue about the phone itself and looking at how Samsung is hyping their next-gen Galaxy phone, I really doubt those leaked pictures are the real deal.
It appears as if Samsung is trying to throw us off the track here into thinking that the GT-I9300 is indeed the S III, which it isn’t (at least, that’s what we hope). Only a few days are left for Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked 2012 event which will take place on May 3, so see you then.
So we let us suprise. Wow !!

This may be our first real picture:
I still hope there will be more than one device revealed on May 3rd.
Three stones on the invitation card: one small, one medium, one large.
Could be a phone, a phablet (note) and a tablet

I voted "don't know" it depends on a number of factors, it will have to beat the SGSII in every department for it to outsell it, price too will be a factor, many countries are in deep recession and many people cannot afford the luxury of shelling out big money on a smartphone so i hope Samsung don't vastly overcharge, €599 is far too much this is the figure that was given on the Amazon German website

AW: Enuf *****in
Definitely, yes.
Out of all "new" devices I have bought, this so far has given me the biggest "wow". I have never experienced such a leap in performance and awesomeness from one device to another device like with this one. And it's not like I jumped 2010 to 2013; most recently I went Galaxy Note to Xperia T to Xperia Z.
It's not perfect, it's got it's faults. But it's whining on a very high level.
Edit: crappy thread title btw, should be named "Xperia Z appreciation thread"
People will always whine about the latest phone. Next will be the HTC flagship then the Samsung galaxy flagship then the 2H Sony flagship and so on.
There will never be a perfect phone, like computers, always issues and society wanting more.
Dont worry its normal
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Get used to it. That's how things are now on XDA.
Wait for S4 - then people will trash HTC One. And after few months, they'll trash S4 and praise another device... Seriously, if we have people calling S4 Pro chips "outdated" now - it's clearly quite absurd...
What a useful thread!

"Decent" ist not enough for a flagship-smartphone, braw.
(Only not-loving it for the display's viewing angles, rest is cool)
You gotta unterstand the people want to express their disappointment when they spent lots of dollars.

Your right, but Funny thing is most people were expressing their disappointment before phone even released so they didn't even spend lots of dollars at the time or could have cancelled their order.

Perfect argument.
But if we talk about people who actually own S3 devices and are very happy about it - this argument becomes invalid instantly... i mean people who criticize plastic screen protector, but are fine with whole flimsy plastic body - that's just ridiculous.
Lol we now have a threat where people are *****ing about people *****ing. I miss sometimes the old xda. Hope it comes back when people are able to buy the one and the s4

Seconded. Crap thread.
With new technology introduce almost every 3months.There can never be a "perfect phone". Even telcos are finding it difficult to catch up( new phone launch almost every month). If the performance of a phone is not upto our expectations, why dun we just buy a better phone if we can afford it instead of whinning over it. Else , lets just be appreciative. My humble personal opinion, XZ is a great phone with flaws( design by human and humans are'nt perfect).I cannot afford to purchase a "greater" phone cause my line will not be able to recontract for another 2 years.Thus am contented with XZ. 2cents.
I don't think that this topic deserves its own thread.

Talk band makes even more sense now, in light of the x2.
Nice one,
I have preordered mediapad x2 and talkband b2 for the following reasons:
1. I need dual-SIM since I travel abroad very often.
2. I would like to read PDFs and watch movies when I'm in a train and 7" fits the requirement very well.
3. Keep minimum devices on the way.
4. Don't want to keep a phone in hands when talking.
So my mate 7 will go to my wife, though she has honor 6
And now I can put my kindle DX into my home museum

So basically i've been researching/looking at many smartwatches the past couple days and I keep contemplating whether or not its worth the money SO if you guys could help me find the right one it would would be appreciated.
I don't have high standards just looking for a round one with heart monitor, good battery life, and BT for messages/calls. Right now the tabs I have opened are the GW01, the NO.1 G3, and the SMA - R smartwatch but feel free to add suggestions. Now from what I understand these arent very customizable and arent "android?" But if there are any android ones out from around 40-60$ then why not if theyre supposed to be better right? Thanks in advance.
For this amount of money, you'll only find 2nd hand watches with Android wear or chinese ones that are not that customisable.
Juste above you may find sole models running full Android with playstore... That could be worth a try...

Hi. I have a few. It will be nice if someone can create new faces at firmware level so that battery percentage and date details can be incorporated.

Yep,I'm wondering whether we can delete the original watch faces.I think at least we can install three or four watch faces.
For me a clock is enough and I think the vxp files could not support these features.
You'll never find one. Especially not with that price, if you're fine with round smartwatches then you might have some better luck. I got a zgpax s8 and an inWatch Z, now neither will charge.
Lesson, go with mainstream and forget about having a phone on your wrist.
