I don't know that I've had something THIS nice before. I've had an iPhone for a while and the app store is nice but this phone with the Android system is really neat.
I've got Call Recorder working that records both sides of any call I want. It'll even upload to google or evernote if I want.
The pictures and videos it takes are great.
The screen is great, the blacks are black. I love it!!
i am stuck deciding between an asus laptop with bluray and 1gb gfx card or a SGSII... this is a dilemma, for real
Been lurking for a while and finally pulled the trigger few hours ago from Clove. Better be worth all those pennies. My 2-year old Magic got toooo slow to be usable
Hoping the Airmail shipping will let me avoid the tax man when it gets to Canada
These both devices are very different frm each others. How you can replace a laptop with a mobile in ur pocket
Dear first check ur aim

mm, good to know
what app are you using to do phone call recording?
I have yet to find one, let us know.

Swapped from the atrix and never looked back. Getting 7 hours standby per 10% of battery so I'm lucky I don't have the battery drain issue. Though having said that, the screen really sucks up power when you've got it on.

Call Recorder by Killer Mobile was just updated to work with this phone. Use profile C when setting it up (I didn't know so this will save you some time). It is a really cool program!!
I'm completely in love with this phone, Im so glad I ordered it from the UK

I feel the same way as all of you. Just got the SGS2 Friday night and absolutely love it. I rooted it within a few hours as I wanted to Titanium backup but for now I am totally happy on stock. The phone is absolutely brilliant. I love surfing webpages now, no more lag even if I choose to play a flash video within the page. Video recording is amazing too. I was a little nervous reading about issues people were having but I have experienced none.
I also love that you can turn the soft keys off or extend how long they are on for. Samsung really thought things through on the design of this phone.
Man, I can't wait to get my hands on mine! Why did it have to be a bank holiday in UK today?!
Can't wait for mine to get here. Possible be happy with a phone for awhile...

I received my SGSII from handtec yesterday i really like it its my first android phone me previous phone was satio which was horrible but i loved it camera
Is your old NB good enough to soldier on? If so buy this as you'll find it will replace your NB for all but the heaviest of functions. Me I'm caught between this and anAcer Revo 100. I'm worried they will stop selling the revo....
Word of advice, don't update to KE7. Stick to KE2, hard reset and freeze the bloat. You will get good battery life.

Capabilities of this type of device
Got mine its decent. Does anyone know if there will be very much development for this device.
I know they said they would put out some OTA updates and root was a possibility in the future.
This is my first device of this nature and I am clueless to any possibilities it may have. I know I like
to root any device I can and I'm hoping to do the same with this.
I'm just hoping their OTA updates fix the crashing, hell when some apps crash and it asks if you want to report it, the report crashes as well!
I ordered two of these. It is junk. Move along. Laggy and one of my units is broken. Company doesnt care. It is just a rebranded CX-01...
Well the last few comments are not encouraging.. Picking mine up on Thursday...
Anyone had an opportunity to try Plex on it yet? That was the main reason I bought it.

It looks to me like they do care quite a bit. They are answering all kinds of questions on the Kickstarter backer's page and on Facebook. I believe that they are working hard on an OTA update to be released very soon....At least I hope it's soon.
As for the broken one, have you emailed [email protected] with your concerns?

I bought mine for plex as well and no luck so far. It won't connect to my server despite every other android device I have being able to. Commenters on Kickstarter are reporting problems with it as well.
Got Root
I got this device rooted awhile back and downloaded some apps to help with
performance. It runs alot better now. I can't beleive they couldn't fix some of these
issues before it came out. I installed the beta updates they put out and it helped.
It seems like they don't want to give out the info needed for people to do developement
because they are afraid someone will get it up and running better then they can.
I'm just looking forward to running custom roms on this thing.
I've owned one of these, and also a bunch of the dual core sticks.
The Equiso is not worth the price. It is pretty much a cx-01 or c-77.
I found the video performance to be substandard.
I sold it for a loss after a week.
You can get a dual core for cheaper.
Even the original MK802(single core allwinner a10) is better.
If I had to buy a stick right now it would be the dual core MX1.
If I wanted to wait I would pick up the GK802 quad core stick(freescale soc!) or the uHost2 dual core stick.(more usb)
Let the buyer beware though! Check out everything you can before you buy!
Wow, that uhost2 looks really good. Would you happen to know of any good reliable retailers that have the Bluetooth capable one???

I received my pro two weeks ago. No image on my tv whatsoever. Tried on my friends brand new tv where it works. Imagine buying a dvd-player only to find out it is not compatible with your tv.... sucks.... no answer regarding update from the support either
Tried on another TV. Works but hängs and bootloops every time I connect to wifi or change video settings
Bought this tv stick at Wallmart
I have purchased this TV stick at Walmart the stock Rom is buggy until you root it and change the CPU governor. I have rooted it and removed the equiso update file from system/app now it doesn't pop up all the time which was kind of annoying. I have done some simple stuff to this TV stick and it works well I agree with the other post though this should of been done before it was released.
Can it turn my grandma to a smart phone ?

Yes it is, I was just wondering if anyone else was one of the original contributors. The first 200 were able to get it for a contribution of $99 and the next 2,000 were able to pick one up for a contribution of$149. I should be getting mine delivered in August as I got a chance to be one of the 2,000 contributors.

Well not sure on the watch, when you go through their slides on the home page they said tree colors instead of three colors. So what does that say about the product?

Its a French company and obviously the sites moderator/creator has a language barrier. They actually have a previous product that has been successful but it was geared towards being used as a workout companion paired with a smartphone.

Just a quick note to all, the Vea team slightly changed their design by using an LG screen which has several people pissed, although I personally still like it.
With that said, if any of you are interested, be on the lookout for some folks selling theirs since they do not want to keep the watch once it has been shipped.

Nice, didn't know they hit ebay already. Got mine in April and I can't complain too much about it, only problem I'm having is that my google account has authentication enabled so the gmail notifications don't work unless I remove the authentication, but otherwise it's pretty nice.
I've been in touch with the founder/owner and asked her if she feels the hardware is capable of carrying the Android 4.4w

Just wish it wasn't $350 for a 1st gen device in a soon to be crowded and lower priced market. I already have a MetaWatch Frame ($200), and would rather wait for Google to release something that I know will be supported for a while then drop the money on something that may or may not be getting new and improved apps a year from now. That being said, the Mirasol screen looks awesome and I like the overall look and features of the watch. For $250 I would have already pre ordered it, $350 is overpriced.

I hear what you're saying about smart watches in general are coming out overpriced but I believe that the Toq is comparable due to the added wireless charger that makes up for the additional cost. That is a feature which none of the others have at this time anyway. And believe me I am not trying to justify their initial high costs because I too think all of the smart watches in general should start at a lower cost margin than what they have started with when they first came out.
This watch is already available for purchase at USD399, anybody here getting it? The deal breaker with this watch is that it has no Ingress Protection (IP) rating. Yes, it is not waterproof. You spend a lot of money into something that is not waterproof, that is so not right.

A reviewer on Amazon stated that in order to adjust the bracelet you need to cut it?!? What's up with that?

Lol, I guess I should have mentioned that part. Without a Doubt the Toq is best out of Box. Its companion app has everything I needed (Except Tasker integration) without having to buy and/or wait for 3rd party apps. If the SDK for the Toq is release soon and Dev start cranking out apps, the Toq is a guaranty to be the Top Smartwatch in my opinion.
Can you check what brightness level you have while outside in day light and also how long does it last on a single charge,

WOW, you gotta be kidding me? That is very impressive!!! Do you get a lot of email/txt/call notification during the day? Also, do you unpair it at night or keep it paired up 24-7? I know with my MetaWatch once the watch is far away from the phone, my phone keeps searching for it non-stop which drains battery on my Note 2 lol!!! So, every night I unpair my MW and N2.
Also forgot to ask, from the pictures, can you tell if Toq is tinner than SW2 or not? It definitely looks thinner than Pebble.
But can it....
Can it run google maps? I want to be able to wear it while I'm on my motorcylce and glance at it once in a while instead of only having audio telling me how close I am. Thanks and congrats on the new watch!
Got mine on UK launch after years of HTC phones.
So far I love it, very quick phone, the display is fantastic.
Plenty to explore for me and will be having a good play around...
I was thinking of picking one up. How are you finding the camera and overall performance?

Overall performance is really good. The phone is fast.Everyone was saying "its not flagship specs" but you can't tell at all. Its as fast, if not faster than my M9.
The camera I haven't got to test fully but a few test shots looked really good. I believe the trick is to use the 8mp mode but will post some pics when I take some more this week.

Have you tried any games yet? I do play some games on my phone (nothing graphic intensive, just quick casual games). I think I read somewhere that gaming performance wasn't great (this may be just for more graphic intensive gaming). If I can be cheeky and ask you to try 'basket fall' for me to see if that runs fine (it's the game I'm hooked on at the moment) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kumobius.android.basketfall&hl=en_GB thank you

Check for the official price for it in Germany, then you will know. Different countries have different pricing polices, some countries you will have to pay full prices, whiles others you can get them free or reduced price with a carrier plan.
