Can anyone recommend a bluetooth watch that works well with our Note 2? Could really do with one for work as I can't really keep piping my phone out of my pocket to keep checking.
I'm looking only for basic features - caller id and sms preview!
Something that doesn't monster drain the battery etc!

The Pebble is not quite released yet but looks interesting..one that is out is the Metawatch.
I hve no experience with either...so YMMV
Found this review of three others HERE for your viewing pleasure!
I'm personally waiting for the Pebble that Steelyglint linked to be released, but in the meantime you can try the Sony Ericsson LiveView (£20 from play.com. £17 from amazon) It supposedly has some bluetooth connectivity issues but I didn't really notice any issues when I used it with my SGS2 (i9100)
However I don't know where I've put it and can't test it on my note 2, so I can't say how well it will work with it.
Also the wrist strap that comes with it looks crap.
Great minds think alike. I was just looking at a couple of Live Views on eBay and wondering about compatability. A few of those up for grabs between £15-20. Almost cheap enough to take a punt on I reckon
Found one other HERE but it's rather more expensive !

if it does that would be great looks to be .3MM wider sooooo don't know if it will or not.
"Vibrant Dimensions 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm"
"Galaxy S i9000 dimensions Dimensions 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm"
Alright then. I'll order it and let everyone know lmao!

Ouch on the price. A very good full case can be had for less.
Interested to know how it fits though in case a replacement becomes necessary at some point.
Thanks.
I prefer going Naked with my Vibrant All it needs is the with google
The Google is a nice touch why not just get a decal?

pretty sure that .3mm measurement difference is just an error. there is zero reason why samsung would make one phone wider or slimmer... the vibrant even shares the chassis with the i9000... the forward facing camera hole is even present.

Duno but Captive cases wont work so just figured that was the same with the i9000, would be better for us if it were this way when the white cases come out.

The captivate is the most unique Galaxy S phone in terms of appearances, the Vibrant is one of the phones that is pretty much alike to the I9000 aside from the 4 keys and a front camera.
The captivate's method of taking it off is different as well.
Well I got my PayPal unlocked and sent the payment just now. Hope it gets here soon! Shipping from UK to US... Can't wait

just found this... this might provide a clue.

says its not compatible with vibrant, i would assume if i9000 and vibrant shared exact same battery cover, then this would fit, meaning the one you purchased would fit too. since this doesn't, maybe the listing you showed won't either?
ps... why does it say unlocked i9000 only, what does being locked or unlocked have anything to do with a physical battery cover?
I really don't know. We'll see when it gets here.

still not there?
It still hasn't arrived... Starting an eBay case if it doesn't come by Wednesday ;/
anyone out there try the LiveView with the vibrant yet, and if so, how do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one, looks like a cool little toy, but i've herd some negatives about connetion issues (yes i know they just recent released a fireware update to help that) but still unsure if it's worth it.
Thanks in advance!
well i just got it, and it's pretty bomb in case any of u 203 visitors wanted to know lol
What is it?

Its a bluetooth connected display that you wear on your wrist. It will give you a lot of information at a glance. I guess it would be great for someone who hates pulling their phone out all the time, or someone who uses a belt clip or armband case.

they put out an update for the software that makes it pretty usefull. there is also a hack with tasker to help it connect when it disconnects.
it does disconnect sometimes, but for the most part it works really well. If you are on xda and hack your phone then you know the software isn't always perfect and if you have delt with roms that arn't quit ready for daily driver you know the feeling and it isn't that bad.
I'm loving this so far, and want more people to get it so that more people would devolop plugins for it.
it is coming to the US soon, or u can get it on ebay for about 70 bucks! get it now before they get to the us and become hot and the price on ebay skyrockets!

You are right but I thought I'll give it a try. I'll try not to wear my Ommega watch a few days and see now much technology people around me can digest. I'll look like a gadget guru in my office lmao.

DO NOT BUY IT !
Buy only Sony Smart Watch "MN2SW"
This idea is nice, but the thing is dog ugly. I am excited for the pebble e-paper watches to come out. This will be SWEET.
whoa!!.. im soo glad you posted that link to the pebble!!
With the way phones are being used as media and social networking hubs, this is actually a productive and very functional accessory that will certainly help me at a glance when i'm too involved to fiddle with the phone across the room or in my pocket with auto grease on my hands.
I just pre-ordered one, they said early 2013 for purchase date. Looks like i know what my tax return will be funding.. ingenuity!
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let you know that the GelaSkins for the Galaxy s3 are avaliable! They are the best way to make your phone unique!
You can find them here: http://www.gelaskins.com/store/phones/Galaxy_S_III/collection/Most_Popular
I just ordered mine
I'm sure these will peel quickly on the curves of the s3
Tacky
ugh gross no thanks. great way to ruin the sexy back AND front
I have the on my iPad and had them on other phones. They are great quality and would recommend gelaskins over other companies.
You're better off waiting for ColoWare to start carrying the GS3, it will look better and lest longer
http://www.colorware.com/default.aspx
Doesnt look like it covers the phone very well at all! Go to the custom option and try it, they look really bad.
Looks good, but I wouldn't use it. I wanna keep the sleek look of my galaxy s3. But, it's cool, though.
Ugly as ****

Ok. Just to warn you I ordered a skin from them for my iPad, it took a few weeks to come through and when it did I got charged Customs Tax by Royal Mail to the tune of £8 + VAT. So expect something similar for your skin - even if you marked it as a gift, which is what I tried to do.
Any idea when the keyboard dock will be released?
I saw a thread on how to modify the keyboard for the Galaxy Tab, but I'd rather not do that if the Note keyboard will be out shortly.
Have no idea why Samsung doesnt release their accessories at the same time they release the product. To me they are just leaving money on the table. I mean all they need to do to release a keyboard for the note is change the size of the holder for the Tab keyboard.

Agreed. I have money in hand to buy the Samsung OEM bluetooth keyboard, OEM Bluetooth Pen, Otterbox case, etc. Unfortunately we are left with cheesy aftermarket crap and slim pickens from Samsung.
It would make sense if this werent their flagship product. I mean you would think they would want it swathed in brand name Samsung gear but no, nothing.
Its like hitting a home run but getting called out because you didnt want to run the bases.
All I can say is that Koreans are an odd bunch.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 2
My feelings exactly. This is supposed to be Samsung's answer to the iPad. Unfortunately, the company isn't presenting their products in the best possible manner. And, I don't think the aftermarket crowd is going to lend much support with accessories until this tablet proves its worth in sales numbers.
What I'd really like to see is someone release a smart cover similar to the iPad's with a keyboard built into it like the Microsoft Windows 8 surface variety. But, maybe that's not a good idea considering the recent Samsung/Apple patent wars.

There's one being sold by HH Gregg online that is for the Tab, but seems to fit the Note, too. Several on Amazon have purchased it.
I migrated from the Tab 10.1 to the Note 10.1, I loved that keyboard, simply cause of the way it was designed and built. The tablet sits there locked in and you can have it on your lap comfortably or a table. Sadly, the tab's keyboard and the note are not compatible cause the note is a bite wider than the tab. Such a shame. Now I have to fork ~$80 for a new keyboard.

Please post a link not sure the exact keyboard you are referring to
I didn't post a link because I couldn't find it and by now they are sold out. Note users on Amazon snatched them right up.
Here's a BT That looks nice, I like the way the case tilts the keyboard and the Note

If you care about whether it's real leather, and not PU, make sure to email them and ask the dirty question. They tend to not mention that it's not real leather.
