The best just got BETTER!

I've used the Voyager Pro HD, the Voyager Legend and now the Voager 5220. And each model keeps getting better!
The built-in speech is superior to the Voyager Legend. The battery life is good. The sound quality is great and the BIGGEST improvements are;
1. The wind/noise cancelling works way better than the previous Voyager Legend.
2. It has a microUSB connector! So even if you lose or misplace the proprietary cord, you can still recharge and use the headset!

Great phone for the price. Long battery life, good display, good performance and great quality.
ONLY 1 flaw with it. I can't save apps to the micro SD card.

Best camera you can buy for $200! Long zoom, great battery life and high speed burst mode! The burst mode is great! About 8-9 shots per second. Great in low light.

Capture stunning images with this Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS 6039B001 16.1-megapixel digital camera that features an optical image stabilizer for sharp, steady shots, and records 1080p HD video for arresting picture quality.

I think this is the best camera you can buy for under $250. It takes great pictures. I like the Burst mode for at sporting events. I will have to buy a couple of spare battery packs for it. It only takes about 175 to 200 pictures per charge. The LCD is very clear and the photos are too.
I haven't taken it to any car shows yet... But I bet it would perform great. It also takes good pictures of our pets... even when they are running and playing.

What's great about it: Almost everything.
What's not so great: Wish it had a longer battery life.

4 out of 5Great Entry-level Android Phone
By ericwithcheese2
from Elkhart, IN
As Verizon's first real entry into the prepaid android market, they picked a great phone for it's debut. The Samsung Illusion sports only an 800mhz processor, but it seems much faster than that, allowing for several apps to be running at once with no lag. Unlike most other prepaid android phones, this one has a very large internal memory on board (about 1GB for user use as opposed to 200MB or less on other phones) and of course you can add a memory card up to 32GB. 3G/wifi capabilities and the 2.3 Gingerbread OS come standard here. Touch screen is very responsive, body has a next textured back, and photo/video quality is very acceptable for a phone of this nature. The battery life is, as with most other smartphones, not the greatest asset, even with the use of so-called battery savers and app killers, so investing in a car charger would be a smart move. Overall, a good choice if you are looking for the reliability of Verizon and the benefits of a no-contract smartphone.

This lens is attached to my camera instead of the lens that came with the camera. It's range takes the place of both lens that came with the camera. I can zoom out and zoom in without having to switch lenses.
Caveat: Since there is a lot more glass than the 18-55mm lens, it is heavy. Also be patient with the auto focus - it's a little slower since there is more glass. You balance out the convenience of having one lens on your camera instead of having to switch between lenses.
Fortunately the instructions to the lens warns that when you are using the zoom, do not use the flash on the camera because it will cast a shadow. Use the flash on the camera for close up shots, for longer shots, use an external flash.
There is a new version of this lens with a longer zoom, but it is at least $200 more.

Debating whether to get this or pay $200+
July 26, 2016
The new model only extends 30mm more than this lens 300mm instead of 270mm.
IS IT REALLY worth paying $550 for about 10% more zoom range?
And I've researched it. The autofocus is also faster.

Plantronics is THE BEST! I've had several Plantronics bluetooth headsets over the years... All of which I have been very happy with.
Had 1 or 2 Jabra headsets BUT returned them. Plantronics is simply the BEST.

Connect your Samsung Gear S3 with both Android and iOS smartphones.¹ Pair your smartwatch via Bluetooth using the Samsung Gear companion app to see where the freedom of Samsung Gear S3 can take you. With the Gear S3, you can pay right from your wrist, track your location, and withstand any weather.
Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5Best smartwatch in the world~!!
By optimummind
The Samsung Gear S3 Classic is the second smartwatch I've owned - the first was the Samsung Gear S2 3G - and it is a great improvement over its predecessor. For me, it has been totally worth the upgrade.
First of all, in my opinion, it looks better and functions better due to its superior design - the bigger size leads to a bigger screen that can fit in more content, the bezel has grooves on its outer perimeter that makes it easier to rotate the bezel with a single finger, and the watch now comes with standard support for any 22mm watchbands. On my Gear S2 3G, I had to purchase separate watchband adapters imported from Europe to add the same functionality which cost me around $45 due to the high shipping cost.
The software and UI of the Gear S3 is about 95% identical to that of a Gear S2 3G. The Gear S3 has an improved S Health, adds a voice Reminder function which the Gear S2 still doesn't have (unbelievable), has true Always on Display (AOD), and it is, of course, faster and smoother due to its upgraded specs. In addition to allowing you to choose your own ringtone, the Gear S3 adds the ability to choose your notification sound as well which is appreciated.
In terms of apps, I'm quite satisfied with what is on offer. For my daily usage, I just need good notification relay support from my phone to my watch, a reminder app, a stopwatch, a timer, a calculator, and a calendar. Everything else for me is just extra, useful or not.
After pairing my watch to my Galaxy S7 Edge through the Gear Manager app and signing in to my Samsung Account, all of my previously purchased apps and watchfaces were available for download. This made the transition easy and seamless. There was only one app - Custom Ringtone - that wasn't available for me on the Gear S3. I'm hoping for that app to be updated to support the Gear S3 soon.
Besides for the aesthetics, the two BIGGEST reasons why I upgraded to the new Gear S3 were for the addition of Samsung Pay MST (last year's Gear S2 only supported NFC Samsung Pay) and for its bigger battery life.
I used the Gear S3 to pay for my groceries at a Smart and Final supermarket the other day and it worked flawlessly. Love it!!
And the battery life has been superb. With brightness set to 7, AOD turned on, and with Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth all turned on, I'll finish my typical 19-hour weekday with about 65 to 70% battery left. So for my usage, this watch will last 2 days before needing a charge. My old Gear S2 3G, with the same usage habits, would finish with ~35% left at the end of the day (the Gear S2 3G doesn't support true AOD).
In the end, I'm supremely happy and satisfied with the Gear S3 and I applaud Samsung for making meaningful improvements. I highly recommend it to everyone!

I briefly had the Gear S2(Non carrier version) for less than a week and returned it. I feel that Samsung made a HUGE MISTAKE by NOT including a speaker on the non-carrier version of the Gear S2. I'm very happy that they added a speaker and other features on the Gear S3.

Shoot up to 24 frames per second so you never miss the action with this Sony RX100 camera, featuring an automatic point-and-shoot setup for easy photography. The 20.1-inch megapixel camera takes professional images in high or low light. With 4K video capabilities, this Sony RX100 camera does dual duty for photography and videography.

This camera has the best image quality of any point and shoot I've ever owned. It works well in low light and the 24 frames per second is ridiculously amazing. It makes it where you are almost guaranteed to get the perfect frame. Buy an extra battery if you plan to use it a lot between charges because it will burn through batteries but it's so worth it to have images as good as it produces in a pocketable camera. I wish it has a little more zoom but then it'd be more expensive and overall larger to keep the 1.8-2.8 apertures available.

That 24 shots per second is the selling point for me! Going to get this instead of the Canon 7D Mark ii for sure!!! Although the battery life isn't the best... I'll probably buy a ton of those for when I go to the races and car shows!

Why doesn't this watch come in smaller sizes for petite people? I want to purchase this watch, but it would be gigantic on my arm. Very disappointing. Will Samsung be coming out with a similar model in more diverse sizes?
Actually I just watched a video on CNET about the Gear S3 review and they mentioned that Samsung will continue the Gear S2 because of it's size options, as far as a smaller S3, they didn't say anything about a smaller size. it only comes in 1 size for now at least.
Here's a link to that video below.
