Ouch...

Just read that back and have now edited it as it wasn't meant to sound harsh in anyway

I was only kidding, after all whose phone is better than whose isn't life changing not like reli...

As if I would!

That's unfortunate but maybe an excuse to upgrade your phone?

It's a work phone, I'm going to read that Samsung forum thread before deciding for sure if the issue is a blocker or not.

If I'm on the bike I don't stop to answer the phone. However when I do stop for a break I will then look at the phone and call back if I think it's going to be important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I just sad. I get so little phone calls and texts I have no need for it.

I like the idea of alerting Strava segments though

Your not alone, I have no need for a gadget like this, personally I prefered it when we had no gadgets, we just enjoyed riding our bikes.

There have been times I've missed calls I needed to take, I don't have the luxury of days off where I can't be reached.

It won't be for everyone.

If you want one, this site has 15 left, my father in law got one and it took two days to arrive:

I pre-ordered in December - God knows how long I'll have to wait still.

A bit peeved I could get from that site for probably not much more that I paid (yet to see what import duty will be?)

 

[NotthatJasonKenny]

I didn't pay any duty, I had a card from the post office, went down, showed ID and that was that!

 

[NotthatJasonKenny]

You can cancel your preorder I think?

My Pebble watch just arrived, here's my thoughts on it...

I got a similar thing with my Sony phone a couple of years ago, and never really took to it. Partly because it only had a very short battery life and wasn't waterproof.

I was once on a ride between London and Eastbourne, and my partner was on the road between London and Birmingham. My phone (which was on my handlebars) kept getting text messages, so I'd stop, put on my reading glasses, bring up the messages screen, put my glasses away and cycle on. A network error meant I actually got the same message 20+ times. After that I installed Utter! so text messages are read out to me. Very convenient on long rides

I'll let ya know if this works out better!
