To be honest, I kinda doubt its battery life. As you all know, battery life on specs sheet is always boasted, real life battery life is usually about 80% - 85% of specs sheet.
So, I guess your safe bet will be wearing 2 WATCHES on your wrist everyday in case your Galaxy Gear battery is flat before end of the day.

But then, many people still think that Galaxy Gear is more useful than camera grip, so... just let them enjoy their galaxy Gear then.
I rather have Pebble as smart watch... BUT it doesn't support Windows Phone. So another weakness of Windows Phone, no other accessories partner aside Nokia's partner.

Exactly. If that 25 hours is for continuous usage, then it still can works as a watch at least, BUT if this 25 hours is only standy hours, god can only hope how many ACTUAL hours that this Smart Gear can last to be functional as a watch.
It is quite embarrassed for me if someone asks me for time and I have to tell him that my watch battery just flat cos it is too smart

Nothing beats good old fashioned timepiece 

s7ran9er,
Thanks for your sharing those links earlier.

I was actually think you were sharing Matt Permanently method to L920. It is alright.

I was amazed by the honest review of the second link Blogger regarding his love for his Yellow L920. He clearly state that he wasn't sure exactly why he love his L920 but it could be its design - Pure, Minimalist. He continue using it everyday though he received questionable email from commenters, questioning him that Android and Apple is way superior than WP.

His persistence and review brought me to share my thought about my Perceived Value of L1020 with RRP2,499 - an outrageous priced known Smartphone.

I felt the RRP is justified, especially those with money and/or have deep thought about Industrial Design.
Lumia 1020 is not just any phone, smartphone or camera phone. It is the phone that has thoroughly been designed with deep touch of Minimalist Flat, Pure at the same time, functional and practical for daily happening. Combined with its Matt Texture, the final look simply breathtaking. No phone in todays could compete, even Apple 'the' Designful and Innovative Corporation that Apple continue to brag about. Their (Apple) iOS is switching to flat, while phone pretty much continue its existence layout.

Anyway, just my thought.

I was thinking of getting the 1020 sooner but held out because I was scared by the new matte housings on the phones. I’m terrified by matte, it scratches and collects dirt far more easily than glossy finishes. I particularly hate how matte plastic wears down to a shine after extended use. After realizing how good the 1020 really was, I decided to take a leap of faith. Hopefully my worries are imaginary.

Great sharing...
Stock Take??

Just got my Yellow Camera Grip, so I'm selling off the black one for any interested party here. Of course, packaging is gone for that black Grip, but it'll come with the strap that comes with the packaging.

Yeah, can say that Lumia 1020 is really such a special phone and user just couldn't wait longer to get hold as soon as possible

stringfellow, care to share the total amount how much you purchased? Inclusive all related fees.

I wish there is a quicker way of switching betwee Nokia Pro Cam and Nokia Smart Cam. Pro Cam has all the features of a decent point-and-shoot, with manual controls and all, but to access features like removing unwanted object in shot, action shots with images superimposition in one shot, object highlighting, those are only available in the Smart Cam app. And the fastest way to do so is a two step button taps that leads to considerable time to launch the Smart Cam from within Pro Cam. It would be better if Smart and Pro Cam are integrated together instead of having to switch over between them. Sigh....

wow, brother.
I never expect such public announcement.

Anyway, I will try my best to snap and share as many photo as possible, especially the coming October is my busiest month of my life - I'm getting marry with my gurl, and together with Lumia 1020.

I sincerely hope I won't be disappointed. Stay tune
