    If you have the Galaxy S4, the new Galaxy gear will not sync with it yet. You will need the Samsung Galaxy Device Manager. You will find it on their website, but it will not install.

    Jellybean 4.3 has not been released yet to the states. No idea when.

    I just talked to the Samsung support about the mis-information.

    Samsung just got word today about this and the website has not been fully updated yet to reflect this latest information.

    Once Jellybean 4.3 is pushed it will install the proper apps to allow access to the Galaxy Gear.

    I have the note 3 and I can't for the life of me find the value of the Galaxy Gear!

    $300 for a watch. is just crazy.

    the return rate is past 30%. samsung is now asking retailers to ask questions about why the return. so they can find a solution.

    nice idea they got going though. drop the price to something more reasonable and make it compatible for note2. i might be tempted to buy one.

    i like the idea of caller id. without having to pick up the phone. and hands free calling.

    I took that money and bought a ps4, which I will have in a few weeks.
    That is one feature I like the caller id. However is that worth 300 dollars. No way. I think they probably will make it available for every phone from the s3 up.

    Actually the hands free isn't hands free at all. You have to have your hand near your mouth so the caller can hear you. I would only drop 99 dollars to 150 most on that.
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    it's coming for the note2 and another phone. before years end.

    i have no problem talking like dick tracy. i'm not a big bluetooth fan and can't stand crap hanging in my ear drum.

    as for the ps4. that's gas money to sturgis for the next 5 years.
