I had no intentions of experiencing VR in the near future but I found the Viewmaster VR for 25$ and got one for my daughter. Gotta say, its pretty sweet. Its basically a better made google cardboard setup. There are plenty of free apps to try and I'm pretty impressed by the experience. Im sure the Gear VR is better for many reasons, but for 25$ its a must for show off and really educational reasons. Google street has a VR mode and allows users to upload photospheres from places, monuments, and landmarks from all over the world(VR is not necessary to view btw). I was looking up at the Great Pyramid of Giza this morning!
If anyone has found some cool apps or had a good experience feel free to share. Merry Christmas.

No adapter needed. The phone fits fine, although volume button is sometimes hit by the hinges.
FYI: It's confirmed with modification the New Gear VR works on Note 4..

Cool. Discovery VR app has some good real life video that's impressive. I just found orbulus app as well, but I can't get the viewer off of my wife to try it. That's a good sign in guess. I am surprised with the amount of content available.

On certain apps mine gets pretty hot. Up to 121 at one point. I, may have had some in the background running through. I haven't talked with anyone else who has one. Do you like it?

this is y blockbuster is gonna go outta business soon
4 bucks to own? Or rent.
blockbuster removed it from the market i think. I read it from androidcentral. they said the app isn't optimized for other phones but they will make it soon
netflix is better, and with the soon to be released netflix app, it will totally dominate.

Lol was gonna ask for your source, then just googled it myself xD
not to put blockbuster down, but it really just cant compete with the no added fee instant streams and the unlimited movie/month dvd's for only $9. The only thing that can compete is Redbox and its doing quite well(off topic) especially since redbox is currently beta testing game rentals in their kiosks here in Reno.
I hope they change the app to free or cheaper rentals cause I use blockbuster online like crazy. I love it cause I can exchange a movie in the store for a new release on tuesdays. Can't even get a lot of new movies from netflix.

So this has nothing to do with electronics bit I thought some people would enjoy this deal.
Right now Stella is giving away free signature glasses. All you have to do is call. 1800MYCHALICE
You have to 21+ and it is only open to US residents. Also for some PDF reason it is unavailable to those residing in Texas.
I just got one around 715 cst.
Good luck and hurry

Anyways..the phone itself was very nice looking. I love the weight. This phone has some good weight to it because of the aluminum body. The camera was pretty damn amazing and the HTC Zoe feature was pretty cool.
Anyone else get their hands on it yet?

Can i ask how u got your hands on one in the US ? Not that I don't believe u ..I'd just love the opportunity lol
Was it a 32 or 64 gb model?
Any carrier branding? If so, where?
Yes please, us U.S. people would love to check it out haha.
HTC rep came into my work and had it with him.

I got to play with it today as well, the display is amazing! Don’t like that their isn’t a removable SD slot... You cant remove the ZOE, but you can change the home page.
It looks like a solid phone and definitely a better upgrade to the htc onex :good:

I got to play with it as well. This phone is pretty sick. The camera is pretty awesome. The zoe feature sold me. You can basically create a movie with it. Lol. The phone is smooth and very responsive. The blink feed is nice as well. The front facing camera is best I've ever seen. It has the capability to be used as a tv remote. The aluminum body felt great and not cheap in the hands. I have the note 2 and think I will buy this phone as well. The list of new features goes on and on. If they can get proper advertising, this phone will be a great success for htc.

I'm not sure. I haven't heard of this game before but after looking it up it seems like an interesting game. I am downloading it now so I will report back once I install it.
Never heard of it either, actually couldn't even find it in the store.

Debating on the pebble. If you have a smart watch, can you give your review?

Don't get either of those. Get an Omate TrueSmart. Trust me.
Look at the specs vs the cost and features. Maybe posting some more specific questions will allow folks to help you make the best decision for your needs.

+1 for Omate, and also Sony SW2. Those are in two different categories, but what picks my interest in SW2 is that developer behind Augmented SmartWatch Pro app has been contracted to help Sony with their software. That gives me a hope they will get something right
Sony smartwatch 2 seems the best for me.
