I'll be upgrading from my Galaxy Nexus sometime later this fall and if the Nexus 6 is a lot more expensive than this thing I might give it a shot. My concern is the 1+1 being too big. I could always give it to the wife and take her Nexus 5.

I did back when I didn't know about their dumbass invite system and how completely ****ed that company is. Oppo needs to can OnePlus.

That has certainly been a huge failure.

So what is the best phone out there, that is AT LEAST the size of the Note 3 and 4? I don't know much about the other phones, are they the same size, better hardware?

I like HTC phones in terms of hardware build and sound quality but battery life sucks. Always

Anyone else have a smartwatch?

I have a friend in the technology business up here that gave me a free Samsung Gear 2 and a Pebble.

So far, I'm using the Gear 2, and it's a bit of a novelty at this point, but I totally see how it's usefulness and integration will be in the future. Already it does have some useful functionality and integration.

Much like circa 2006 and the mainstream adoption of the smartphone started taking off.

**DaFace** · 08-17-2014, 10:24 PM

Not yet, but I've got my eyes on the Motorola 360.

L.A. Chieffan · 08-17-2014, 11:26 PM

I have a Gear fit 2. I like it and people ask me about it all the time.

jd1020 · 08-17-2014, 11:27 PM

I'm good with my regular $20 Casio.

I really don't see the purpose of the smartwatch and don't think it will ever take off. I don't need a $300 device to go on top of my $700 phone just so I don't have to reach in my pocket and see who texted me.

I don't really have much of an interest in one, but I do think it will take off eventually.

Mine also has built in pedometer, activity tracker for different things like hiking and biking, heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, timer, alarm clock, music player, can give me notifications for every app on my phone and has a beautiful screen that I can change the wallpaper with pictures from my gallery. Only $150. Pretty sweet

Was kind of hoping you were going to say that the pedometer displayed the approximate location of the nearest pedophile.

**BigMeatballDave** · 08-18-2014, 02:10 AM

Zero interest in it.

**BigMeatballDave** · 08-23-2014, 06:55 AM

Rooted!

Found an apk called Stump root. Takes about 5 minutes to run, but it worked. No computer needed.

Sprints garbage bloatware is gone!
