If you could buy the LG G Watch R again today, would you? topic
I'll be the first to admit that a large part of my rationale for purchasing the LG G Watch R was gadget lust as opposed to a logical cost/benefit evaluation.
Here's what I've learned:
1) I don't use the notifications nearly as much as I thought. Why? Because honestly it isn't that hard to pull out my phone and look. While the watch interface is cool, it is just too small to "do anything" with as with a small effort I could do that same thing much better on my phone.
2) A large reason I got this was to reduce distraction of looking at my phone while driving. Well again, the problem is, the text is so small and cannot scroll without two hands that it may actually be MORE distracting, not less. Also, I wear glasses to drive. Since I am near-sighted, I cannot see whats on my watch while wearing my glasses. So if I get a notification while driving I need to take off my glasses and take my eyes off the road to look. Hopefully while doing all this I don't hit a school bus full of somebody's babies.
3) Much of the notification work the watch does is already done by my small but powerful bluetooth headset. Text messages read, check. Turn by turn navigation read, check.
Funny thing is that most of the time what I find myself using the watch for is telling the time, temp and battery levels of my devices. Granted I don't go to a lot of meetings so getting texts surreptitiously on my wrist is not a benefit for me while it may be for others.
The #1 drawback (besides the price) of this watch is simply that I have to wear a watch. I have a ,000 Rolex that I never wear for work because it annoys me when typing. The LG G R has the same issue.
So anyway, if I had to do it all again, would I? No, probably not. What does intrigue me is the new idea of a small curved LCD notification attachment for the wristband of your current mechanical watch. Now that would be useful.

Recived OTA Update Today - 1/6/2015 topic
Still 4.4.2
Software version changed from D85110m to D85110r
What a disappointment.
Also, if Lollipop is coming out so soon, why are we getting a 4.4.2 update now??
This is the 3rd update I've received. One when I first bought it(a week after release). In early December I received one to enable Wi-Fi calling features and inflight texting(which is awesome, by the way). I wonder what the heck this recent one does.
I work at T-Mobile in IT, I should probably be able to answer this, hah.

So today i got my iClever® 6-Port USB Desktop Travel Charger topic
So i finally got my charging doc from amazon today. Amazing little thing Charges the whole families handsets at once and i don't have every USB port on my laptop plugged in haha. Wish i would have bought this before Thing is sleek looking and takes about the same amount of space on a desk as my phone alone. The thing is nice and light but to me seems very solid already dropped it once off the desk to a hard marble floor and it still works flawlessly. Not even a crack I would strongly recommend this to anyone who uses multiple phones on a daily bases. Tho i would have liked this accessory in white the glossy black is very appealing to the eyes. What really got me hooked was the smart id the thing recognizes each of our phones separately so i can go into which ever phone i like to view my albums without having to play musical chairs with my USB ports !!!
So for anyone looking for a smartid multiple charging port doc This is it you will find no better...
I LOVE IT

Verizon Nexus 6 was "supposed" to be released today. topic
Spoke to an agent with Verizon randomly today because I was about 10 seconds away from getting out of my EDGE plan and have a competitor buy me out of a contract. I am patient but for the love of god give me something Verizon. This is ridiculous.
Anyway, long story short I happen to get myself a fanatic today. He had a lot more information than any other rep I have spoken to and I have had my fair share of run ins with these clowns. I figured I would give some love back to my community.
I took it for what it was........ Hopefully its true. Sorry for the poor quality, it does the trick though.
:highfive:
