On Christmas I received the Samsung Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear, but I need to share that being a fan of a different brand for more than 5 years, I received the boxes like a child on Christmas morning! Anticipation, curiosity, excitement danced in my head!
I rushed to a phone provider to have the Note 3 activated; opened a new phone account for my blogging business and had my Galaxy Gear paired, so I could experience this whole new world of adventures! I can’t describe how exciting it was to see all the curiosity around the Galaxy Gear. My first cool moment was when I felt like I was a “spy” with the camera built in the Galaxy Gear, the trendiest Smart Phone ever!
The watch also tracks my fitness activity, so it was the perfect gift to keep my New Year’s Resolutions! But the best experience ever, was when hubby called me and I answered him on my Galaxy Gear!
The Note 3 offers advanced features that make the Galaxy Note 3 an even more intuitive experience. With S Voice™ Wake Up you can activate your phone with a simple “Hi, Galaxy.” Then use S Voice to control your device with easy voice commands. With S Finder™, just one click of the S Pen lets you easily search your entire phone, from handwritten notes to emails and the web.
The newly evolved S Pen™ delivers innovation to make life easier including enhanced handwriting recognition. I can quickly jot notes, emails, and text messages that can be transformed into text. With Action Memo™, I can quickly turn my writing into actionable links like phones calls and new contacts. For quick access to the S Pen menu, I simply hover the pen over the screen and click.
Can’t wait to try these babies? You can experience them at the Samsung Galaxy Studio, while drinking the best coffee and enjoying the atmosphere or at your local phone provider and electronics stores.
Needless to say they captivated my heart and being tech savvy, they offer so many new options, I see myself rarely using my other smart phone! Samsung has definitely changed my mind and my heart and won me not as user, but a brand lover!

I worship at the alter of Apple but more and more have been liking the way Samsung looks. I may be ready for a switch and will be keeping an eye out for more info. Thanks for sharing and have fun!
Claudia Krusch
Same here, Rachee, but Samsung totally changed my mind!

I love hearing the different opinions. I just tested out a Samsung Galaxy S4… and it didn’t win me over. There were things about it I liked…. but I just think I might be too addicted to apple. Gotta write up my review though. Might have to link my post over to yours. 🙂

Carrie @ Chockababy
I love the “spy watch!” They really are amazing!
Claudia Krusch
I can’t wait to learn all the features!
Barb @ A Life in Balance
Looks like fun! I’ve always wanted to write notes and email them to myself rather than type everything. The phone screens can be a little small.
Claudia Krusch
IT’s great and you can open the phone and activate it with your voice, there’s so much you can do! I have a blog idea in my car, I open it, talk, it’s recorded!

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 and LOVE it. Samsung has come so far by leaps and bounds and i would love to get my hands on the note 3 and smart watch.
Heather
The Galaxy Gear looks really interesting…we are an Apple household (and our Google Glass is on the way!), but the watch looks right up my alley!
Claudia Krusch
I’m loving it Heather!

Claudia, I have had several friends switch recently from Apple to Samsung. Every single one of them has been pleased. I am glad it is working well for you too : ).
Val
Good for you and the second line for your business. The gear looks like it has a lot of features I could really use. Very Bond-esque in how it looks too.
