I am getting a ton of feedback on this device.  There is always a large hum.  This is typically when  something is not grounded properly but there really is nothing to ground.  I am perplexed.

I'm not sure if I'm using this device correctly. I've seen videos of people using this item, to seemingly perfect outcomes. I haven't yet been able to duplicate those amazing results, but intend to continue trying.

I will likely come back and update this review in the coming weeks and months, but while I had a moment I wanted to offer a first-look. I received the product (I have the 48-port managed smart switch) 2 days ago and set it up at my office in prep of bringing it to a client on this coming Tuesday. I actually found what I thought were two pretty big problems with my unit, but they were quickly resolved by pretty impressive chat support. (more on that later)

The product itself feels solid. Sturdy metal chassis and great out-of-the-box perception of quality. This is not a cheap feeling piece of hardware. I connected it to my network and had my first issue. Now, anyone setting up a 48-port smart switch should know where to look... as I did... but that doesn't change the fact that the engineer who decided that it's default IP address should be 192.168.0.1  (or really, anything ending in 0.1) needs to be fired... then stoned. Needless to say, when I plugged it into my existing network, everything in my network stopped working because I now had TWO 0.1 devices.  No issue... I logged in as admin | admin... changed it's IP to 192.168.0.2... upgraded the firmware... hitting APPLY after each change.

Here comes the next issue - and again, it's a VERY SMALL issue. I then realized I had it in a bad spot on my desk, so I unplugged it... moved my stuff around and plugged it back into power. And all of the settings I changed were back to the defaults????  I made all my changes again... unplugged again... and yes, they reset again. Not wanting to bother troubleshooting, I fired up a CHAT SUPPORT window with TP-LINK. Less than 90 seconds later, the issue was explained by by rep - Camille.  As it turns out, there is an APPLY button near every setting (which I used) but there is also a master SAVE CONFIG menu item. I assumed that meant EXPORT (like, to save the .BIN file locally) - you can do that too, but the SAVE CONFIG option is a "COMMIT" of your changes. Theory being, let's say you make a bunch of up-front changes... apply them all... then SAVE CONFIG... 4 months from now, you want to TEST some new changes... you can make them, test them, make more, test those, etc... all without COMMITTING them. And you have the option of removing power to go back to your last COMMITTED set of changes. Great concept... Cisco's have a running config like this... my issue is, TELL ME THAT when I click APPLY. Once you know, it's great. Again, just sloppy engineering.

Those small items aside... so far the options seem limitless. The device does QoS, VLAN, has a neat CABLE TEST option, reports on length of cables in each port... some pretty high end stuff, for not a lot of $$. Every port is gagabit, unlike some switches that SAY gigabit and only 2 or 4 ports are. Device looks and feels great. I only question the documentation, but from a technical aspect, it seems extremely promising so far. It will get put to the test starting Tuesday - this client site is pretty large, so I'll get to see how it handles over the next week or two.

I watched an Ad of their device on FB a couple of days earlier and noticed that this was on sale and hence decided to get it at a great promotional value in exchange of a review. Their service was fast and amazing. I spoke to Rhiannon about a glitch in the pricing and she responded very quickly to fix it.

I drive my bike to work and wanted a way to track it when I lock it in my office garage when I am on the 10th floor working away. I was scared that someone might steal my bike and was looking for ways to protect it and not have to worry about it's safety. That's where TracR comes into picture. I attached it to the key ring provided and hooked it up under the bike seat. To a normal person, it is barely visible and they wouldn't know what it is; good for my bike's security as it is non-decript.

I was able to setup the device via bluetooth fairly easily and map it out on the GPS so I know when it has moved/changed locations. That way, I'll be alerted if my bike is moving when it shouldn't. It has an alarm notification that can ring on the Device itself and although it not as loud as I'd like it to be, it gives me a peace of mind. The App (Android or iPhone) has a Map view and proximity sensor. Another bonus is the way how the TrackR CrowdGPS community will know of my device and can alert when they find a missing item nearby them. The battery is a CR 1616 and mine worked only a couple of days before it went dead. I contacted their support and waiting to hear from them but from my previous experience, hope that they will contact soon.

So far, my bike has stayed put where I locked it and hope that it does not move but hey, you never know when you'll to TracR it and I can be assured that I am set and ready for when that happens.

Pros:
Lightweight
User friendly
Crowd GPS
Alert Mechanism - Phone and Device
Safety and Security
TrackR Support - Very prompt and courteous

Cons:
Not entirely sure of the battery life - mine died within the first couple of days (though I am in touch with support)
The TrackR Device alarm is not very loud
It takes a tad bit long to connect/detect the device

Edit:

As I stated earlier, I was talking to their Customer Support and after a couple of email exchanges, I've been promised to be sent a new battery and hoping that the issue will be resolved. The Customer Support took about 3 weeks in all since my 1st email to finally send me a battery. I'll post another update when the battery has arrived.

I just want to say that I don't normally leave comments unless I've purchased an item that was just awful and I want to warm people to save their money. That said, Wow. This device is the real deal. I waited for Black Friday for the price to go down and it did it went below 100.00 so I grabbed it. It was a breeze to set up. Just remember to activate it online before you hook it up.
The call quality on the phone is outstanding. I called several people and no one knew I was calling from a VOIP line.
I love that you can have 2 lines with 2 different numbers. I can use the 2nd line as a private number.
I ported my original phone number and even though they said it would take 3 to 4 weeks it was done in 5 days.
I had a question about setting up something in the preferences on my online account and was able to do an online chat with customer service immediately and they walked me through it right there on the spot.
The Device, The Price and Customer Service are Fan-Friggin'-Fantastic.

This device does not work properly and there is a lot of feedback coming from the device.  I would not buy it again.  I have only had it for a month and a half but could not return it because I missed the 30 day return by 10 days.

This device has far exceeded my expectations! I definitely recoomend this product.

In addition they have absolutely the best customer service. I had a problem with the device and they sent me a new one right away!
Thank you so much

The device works as advertised, but is not meeting my needs.  My problem.

I have such mixed feeling about this device....  once you get past all the weird behavior, the device is really cool and is fun to use, but the hurdles one goes through to get to this point are many....

When I first received my device, I turned it on, it came up, and I played some of the sample movies and pics.  There is a movie of a Chinese family playing in the backyard and blowing bubbles....  There were also many images of similar people.  I then deleted all the sample images I found - BIG MISTAKE....

Mustek made a poor decision in making all "required" files accessible to the user - and it mixes them with the sample files - bottom line, is that after deleting what I thought were all the "sample files," the main menu was distorted.....like you were looking at a monitor in a resolution it doesn't support.  On top of that, the fonts weren't working, so I could see any of the settings I was trying to change.  Mustek should have put these required files into firmware and not where someone can delete them.  After visiting their Mustek's web site, I see this is something addressed in their FAQs.  It's evidently a common issue and there is no warning at all about watching out for this.  I downloaded the restore file and restored my files...

The next thing that is weird is how slowly the device scrolls between MP3 files....  while you can skip a screen at a time, even this is slow.  The sound quality is OK.....  Due to the slow scrolling, I would be hesitant to carry this everywhere with me.  I would like to be able to do this.

Another thing that bugged me is that on some screens, paths are expressed in 8.3 format only, so you see paths like C:\basica~1\xxxx etc....  it just seems like someone took a shortcut here instead of taking the time to display the path in a long format.

The thing I had the biggest problem with was the video recording....  First of all, the software was slightly different than the manual - very confusing....  and all the manual pictures were so dark you could not see them.  but the biggest thing that drove me nuts was using the timer.  Basically, to record, you have to set a recording quality, start time, and end time....  to help you, the machine sets the start time to the current time, leaving you to set the end time.  What the manual doesn't tell you is that if you accept the current time as the Start time and if you save these settings a minute after the start time, the recording never starts!  I learned the hard way that you have to set the time to 1 or 2 minutes after the current time so that the change to that minute will trigger the time - very aggravating!

Oh yes, how to set the time?!  There is a setup area where you can set everything except the time and date....so weird.....  instead, you have to go through another area in the calendar to set the current time....  the interface is just not consistent and not intuitive....

I really had the feeling that this device had its software made quickly, in a foreign country, without any input from real users.  The device should certainly not place its most important files in a place a person might delete them, especially when there is no warning about this....

Lastly, the belt clip is a joke.....  It attaches in a weird way and its design gives the impression it was an afterthought....

Anyway, once you get past all these idiosyncrasies, the device is pretty cool and being able to record your DVDs into the device and then take them on a trip is very nice....  the device does work well once you understand what areas to remain away from.....  The software really needs to be redesigned by a US company, where users are given input.

Enjoy!

This thing is AMAZING and I am kicking myself for not having discovered these gadgets sooner than I did!  Wireless connectivity is relatively reliable 2 rooms away - it matters how many other connected devices are using bandwidth at a given time, however - just like any other wireless device. Netflix and HuluPlus and You-Tube work flawlessly but other, less-popular streaming apps seem less stable and quite glitchy.  Fortunately, there's a work-around for that so it's essentially a non-issue!  This thing is small and doesn't clutter up precious space like a tablet, laptop or computer would - the biggest bonus is that it uses Android apps that aren't available on those other devices yet has all the apps you've grown to love and appreciate on your PC!

Update: April 14, 2015.  I order this device exactly one year ago today.  Up to recently, it worked wonderfully.  I noticed a couple of weeks ago, there was a power "glitch" and I lost all function.  Then, suddenly, I touched something just right and I had function again.  So, for a couple of weeks, it's been business-as-usual and I'm a happy camper.  Until today...another power glitch and I got nothin'.  The difference between a couple of weeks ago and now is that the power's on but I've got no interface and no way to control the device.  It's basically useless with no way to fix it.  For as much as I paid for this thing, I would expect it to last a lot longer than exactly 365 days.  But, I suppose I should count my blessings:  given some of the other reviews I've read, my device has held out quite a bit longer.

I spent 2 days scouring the internet for a resolution to my problem and finally came upon some extremely obscure YouTube video that showed how to do a factory reset on a bricked device.  I followed the instructions and voila - was able to boot it and restore it.  Of course, I lost all of the data I had accrued since I started using it, but that pales in comparison to having a device that doesn't work at all.

Still no response from the Seller with regards to any amount of customer service - just wanted to know if they could help with a fix for the device - I guess not.

I still like this device, but if I wasn't a persistent, semi-tech-savvy kinda person, I would have a piece of useless junk here - and I know that there have been others who have probably encountered this situation who didn't know what to do or where to turn with their issue so they just junked it.  There should be better customer service for the products we purchase - not just here, on Amazon, but ANYWHERE.

If you are reading this review, you already know the spec of this amazing device and what it can do. Yes, it has most amazing bright HD screen and it DOES fit into front pocket with room to spare. The device is super responsive and it DOES NOT feel odd to hold it by the ear. It is THE mobile device and I have never been this impressed by a gadget... But I am experiencing 2 issues with this phone and is wondering if this is due to hardware design problem or maybe I just received the faulty unit.

1) In-Call Volume problem with Galaxy Note (Deal Breaker)

The "In-Call" volume on SGN is way too low. Headset/Speaker volume is fine and they can also be further boosted by using Volume+ app from the Market but I cannot seem to find any cure for the low In-Call volume. It is almost unusable while driving with window down. I have currently work around this issue by turn on the speaker for each and every call. I do not believe I should need to do this.

2) Inconsistent Network Speed with Galaxy Note

Once I plugged in the SIM card and manually set the mobile network by entering the APN, I was able to get the AT&T data service onto my new SGN but I noticed that the network icon (EDGE/3G/HSPA+) keep changing between 3G and HSPA+... I also noticed that it switched to HSPA+ when it actually try to download network packages (email/internet/yourtub...etc) and it has connectivity problem when 3G icon is displayed. This behavior of constantly switching network antenna will result in poor battery drain and degrade the user experience.

Please let me know if anyone else are also experiencing the similar challenges. Thank you very much for your time.

------------------- Update 01.03.2012 ---------------------
The recent firmware update from Samsung resolved the issue of "In-Call" Volume being too low...Hence changing the rating from 2 star to 4 star.
There is still network lag when it switch from 3G to HSPA+ for internet use. Most of time, it is less than 5 sec but sometimes (based on where) it could take up to 25 secs.

Very cool little bluetooth/amp.  Plenty of power to crank the speakers I am using.  I am getting some kind of feedback/odd noise that is noticeable between songs and when the amp is turned up fairly loud...I would knock at least another star off for this but I can't be certain what is causing the noise, would be curious to know if anyone else has had this problem. Edit:  After working with this amp for a month I have knocked this down to 2 stars due to the annoying feedback noise that is coming from the board as I have determined the issue is with the board itself.  Too bad because other then that it's a nice little amp - but that is a major problem in my opinion.

I am still learning everything I can do with this device but my 1st impression is good.

I have been using the ring doorbell with 2 chimes for a few months now. My experience is excellent! I have hardwired my device to my existing power supply and old doorbell, so that still works as before. No periodic charging required this way (would be very, very rare otherwise, but still good that it is now not required at all). Good wifi coverage at the location of the main device is required, so make sure that is taken care of. All in all a great user experience, backed up by a great group of enthusiastic people that are really driven to make this a huge succes.
