Amazing and worth the upgrade from SP3 keyboard

I had the extended warranty on my Surface pro 3 keyboard and the key popped off so I brought it in to BB. Well, I was happy to see the SP4 keyboard in stock so I tried it and fell in love.
Pros: larger trackpad with increased sensitiviy (no longer have to tap hard) amazing key spacing great tactile feel while typing way softer clicks while typing back light on keys looks way nicer volume buttons and Print Screen now on top row function lock on Fn key is nice extra Fully compatible with my SP3 and magnetic strip for second angle does work as it should does feel more stiff and sturdy
Stay connected with this Motorola Moto 360 00421NARTL smartwatch, which features a 1.56" LCD touch screen that displays alerts from your compatible Android device. A Bluetooth 4.0 interface helps simplify wireless pairing.

Great device at and great price

I'm very impressed with this watch as it's very sleek, yet bold, and love the new low price. I'm coming from the Gear 2 Neo, which is nice but didn't like being limited to Samsung phones.
pros: light weight
all metal frame and watch band now
Compatibility with Android devices vs just Samsung
full circle design with no bezels (flat tire thing is not a problem at all blends into watch faces)
Android wear 1.3 and lolipop 5.1.1 update out of the box..is awesome, shows me all notifications,
I'm able to control camera with it as well as music, youtube videos, see and read full emails and respond via voice,
texts with emoji or voice (amazing voice recognition)
lots of accessories on the web
water and dust resistant
stylish yet bold and sleek looking ( I have silver one)
Wireless charging (comes with dock)
Tons of watch faces and customization
easy to use and set up with phone
cons: battery is good enough to make it through the day. but it all depends on how much notifications you let it receive as well as how much you use it. It hasn't died on me yet but do charge it nightly.
Answer calls and enjoy hands-free communication while out and about with this Motorola Moto Hint + 89800N Bluetooth earbud headset, which features CrystalTalk noise- and wind-canceling technology to help ensure crisp, clear audio.

Great improvement from previous model

Posted by: Torresjoe77
from texas
I had the previous model for several months and didn't like how fast my case would lose it's charge and sound was very low even when just watching youtube and worse when on the phone.
Pros: much more full and louder sound for music, youtube, and calls creates a sound blocking seal in your ear way longer battery on case which gives me more charges on my Hint perfect if you are a casual user of phone super discreet and light weight total geek gadget feels like spy tech very clear calls (all depends on your area and network) able to wear with cap, or hoodie, or beanie and even ear muffs noise cancellation is pretty solid protective case / charging case (great for throwing it in backpack or bag)
cons: no way to turn it on/charge it without case.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Tablet: The new Surface Pro 3 is in a category of its own. With a stunning 12" display in a sleek magnesium frame, Surface Pro 3 has all the power and performance of a laptop in an incredibly lightweight, versatile form. It may just be the ultimate device.

I have used the Asus Transformer 10inch w/keyboard Infinity 701, Lenovo Yoga 11s, Toshiba 17,and Dell Inspiron 13
Pros: Thin (crazy how thin this is with power it has)
Lightweight
sleek
professional looking
Magnesium (metal body)
Full i5 power with full windows 8.1 pro
Full HD and more (extremely sharp screen)
Front and Rear cameras (yoga 11s didn't have rear cam)
Very little bezel and a lot more screen with more real estate 3:2 aspec
Pen include with one note click and screen shot action (amazing feature)
Full USB 3.0, Micro SD and 128 SSD
Magnetic charging port with USB charging block for phone charging at same time
Versatile stand with many positions
Fits into very thin sleeves and backpacks or shoulder bags
Can use the keyboard flipped over and use stand to sit on it for more stable positions, using it as flat surface.
Cons: Had to buy the keyboard attachment (not included)
Keyboard missing some buttons like Print Screen and Insert and volume up and down (does have mute button)..There is ways to do this on keyboard though if you look up key functions.
Doesn't come with full office (MS should include it in their own product) but does come with 30 free days to Office 365

Awesome headset
on September 12, 2014
Posted by: Torresjoe77
from texas
Just got this as a gift and exchanged for my Plantronics legend Voyager. I love how light and extremely comfortable it is with no ear fatigue. I think the included charging case is awesome and love how I can use my micro usb cord to charge both the case or headset separately without needing a special cord like the Voyager.
I am able to use it with sunglasses and is very discreet and looks totally tech geeky.
What's great about it: small, light, compact, case, uses micro usb
Jawbone MINI JAMBOX Speaker:Say goodbye to the limitations of wires, and take music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with you to the next big bash with this portable speaker. A built-in microphone and 1-touch button let you also make and receive hands-free phone calls.
I decided to upgrade my Braven 600 speaker so I found this tiny speaker and it works great. They are equally loud but way more compact.
I use this for work as I'm an Instructor and use it to play music before class. The Braven was to large like a brick in my bag. Since I recently switched to a smaller computer bag the Ogio Covert 13. I needed a smaller speaker to fit inside.
Well this one sure worked out perfectly! If fits in my bag no problem and gives me the sound to fill a room. I like that it's customizable and the Live Audio makes it sound deeper and fuller.
I also use it as speaker phone and for personal use at home and it works great.
Great sound for the size and truly portable, I paid $96 when it was on sale so really a great deal.
What's great about it: Compact, sounds really good for size, customizable and upgradable
What's not so great: Wish it had a little kickstand so you could angle it towards you
Samsung Gear 2 Neo SM-R3810ZKAXAR Smart Watch: Access select Samsung phones and tablets to make calls and send texts by voice command with this versatile watch.

Great Tech device
on April 15, 2014
Posted by: Torresjoe77
I am total Tech Geek as well as always up to date latest tech news. I heard about the new Gear line up and wasn't sure what to expect, but when I saw the Gear fit I knew I had to have it. But then when I saw the Gear 2 Neo for the same price and way more functionality...it was a no brainer for me. Not only do I have a very sleek, stylish as well as Stealth looking black watch. But I have the power of fully customizing it to my liking as well as side loading music, pictures and more with the 4 gigs of space on it is great. To me being able to make it truly mine means everything to me. Hypoallergenic band, water resistant and dust proof make it that much more awesome. But to be able to make, receive, answer and reject calls, texts, as well as view notifications for my email accounts and facebook...that's Flipping just flipping awesome.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S-59385438 Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: Lightweight and slender, the flip-and-fold design of this laptop makes it well-suited for productivity on the go. It also functions as a tablet or a touch-screen display in tent and stand modes, and includes voice assistant software for hands-free interaction.Learn more about the New Windows ›
I am a person that loves gadgets and technology. I had the Asus transformer tf700 tablet w/ keyboard as my main computing device which I loved...Until the hinges broke a second time inside tablet which were plastic (dumb!).
Due to this I took to it back and got my in-store credit to use and I took my time researching and trying out difference devices. I already had my eye on the Yoga since last year. Well now that I had the chance I snagged it up and couldn't be happier.
Pros fast computing with i5 processor reliable full windows version 8.1 out of the box sturdy hardware great keyboard fast charging with new rapid charger awesome texture feel on both outside shell as well as wrist rest area (silky, grippy and sexy) Awesome form factor with clean lines and book style design Different modes: -I find my self using the stand mode at night in bed when checking out videos and web surfing. - I use laptop mode during work hours and have even used tablet mode. - tent mode I haven't used but see how it could be useful if you have dirty surface or limited surface space. Full HDMI full SD card slot USB 3.0 is blazing fast and regular 2.0 slot as well perfect for the constant traveler due to its compact size and light weight.
cons I would have been ok with a rear facing camera in case you want to show someone something you are looking at, but not a huge problem.
the power cord could be made in L shape to take up less space or not be in the way so much. (again I'm just nit picking here)
Didn't come with MS Office
Great device overall if you can't afford this model I hear the $499 model is good with Bay trail as processor.
What's great about it: Size, power, speed, convertible modes
What's not so great: nothing really but if had to choose, no rear camera
Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset: Stay in touch with family, friends and work when you rely on the convenience and comfort of this stylish headset. Its lightweight design and ability to pair with 2 phones at once will keep you up to date on all your incoming calls. Multi-microphones, stainless steel windscreens and moisture protection let you experience clear audio everywhere you go.
I had recently purchased the Jawbone Icon HD which at first was great but then noticed it keps slidding down my jaw line to point downwards. That was a problem as it only works best when touching jaw line and facing mouth and I had to keep using cheap ear hook that always fell off and over all felt cheap to me.
So I got this awesome headdset that fits so naturally over ear and in ear for great support. It is also very light weight and comfortable that you won't feel it. Not to mention that it doesn't move once it's on unless you move it. I love how professional it looks with sleek boom arm. I also liked that I could control volume from rocker behind ear and mute calls or pause music as well as answer and hang up calls from the function buttons it has on device. But you won't even have to press anything if you want to answer or hang up just say so and it does it. I like how it colapses/ folds to make it self flat and fits nicely into my jacket pocket or shirt chest pocket with out being bulky.
Sound quality is great and i'm able to control it from device and from phone for extra loudness unlike Jawbone. I was able to hear clearly and was heard clearly as well.
The magnetic 6 inch charging cord is awesome unique and great for travel. I don't have to do anything except plug it into my computer/laptop or car when charge needed. I first thought this would be a problem as all my devices use micro USB. But because it is short and easy to travel with all I really need is USB port to plug into.
The battery life is amazing with 7 hours talk time and days on stand by vs the Icon HD only had 4 and it would die very fast. I have the Galaxy S3 and it works great with it. This is a must have for awesome design, look, feel, stability, and for those to travel a lot as I do.
What's great about it: Great sound on both ends, easy to use, lots of features

MUCH better than first gen, but.....
Bywase4711fromHinsdale, Il
So, I had the first gen model of this, and brought it back for all the reasons others had mentioned, and when I saw there was a new version, I decided to try it once again. This version is tons better than the first one, but still a little quirky; as the last person said, you cant be connected to 2 devices and be able to listen to media on the second device without disconnecting the first one. Calls are loud and clear on my end, but others have complained about a scratchy sound on their end, plus, at times, I have a weird "echo" sound on my end when listening to music from my S6 edge phone. All in all, its a major upgrade from the first gen, but I am not 100% certain I will be keeping it. Definitely worth checking out if you want a tiny bt headset..

Same issue
August 5, 2015
I had the original model then the battery started to not hold a charge and would not connect as quickly when putting it in my ear. I returned it and got the Jabra stealth, which I really like except once you get used to the tiny compact size and out of the way style of the Hint it's hard to go back to a boom style BT.
I am glad you are saying the new one is better overall as I really liked it and kind of miss it, I've only had the Jabra Stealth for 2 weeks and do like how clear my voice sounds on both ends but so did the Hint just was softer.
I think I might go back after seeing the feedback about new model/upgrades.

Improved Sound, Fit and Battery life
ByHaitianpriincefromBrockton, MA
I owned the first and was very satisfied with it. It fit very well and it was the most comfortable Bluetooth that I had ever used until this one. It never caused any discomfort, I would forget that it was there and even fell asleep with it once.
This one has even improved on that and with the better fit comes better audio during calls and even more so with music. The added battery life is also very welcome.
All in all this is comfortable, discrete and it is my favorite Bluetooth headset hands down

I had the first one as well, and really loved it then started having issues with battery not holding charge as well as it not turning on when putting it in ear. So I got the Jabra Stealth, but don't like the fit.
I really loved the Hint's fit and compact build of it, but now that it's been improved as you say I'd like to go back to it.

Well after Re-Pairing device and trouble shooting it a bit... The device is now giving me all notifications as well as vibrations now being felt more. There is an app that lets you customize vibration patterns. I almost returned it but gave it a couple more days and it's living up to it's potential.
Great device and super stylish and functional. I still do wish it had voice response for texts.

I just received gear fit2 & the screen is so sensitive, it turns on each time I move my hand. Is there any way it would not turn on? I didn't even do any workout yet, just staying home, and it's getting annoying when screen goes constantly on & off
Yes, if you pull down from the top. You will see a brightness button and a minus sign. click on the minus sign and you will be able to put it in sleep mode. It will still track your steps and all that but you won't get notifications. This is good for when sleeping with device so you don't get woken up and screen doesn't turn on.
