can it be used alone without a phone null

No. It is an accessory to your phone. Without your phone connected to it, is just another watch!

The Gear relies on a bluetooth connection to your phone for message/call notifications. If the Gear moves out of range from your device, you will lose any ability to recieve notifications until you are back in range. It will still function as a watch, camera, and several apps that don't require notification delivery.

Unfortunately, it does in fact need to be paired up via Bluetooth to a Samsung phone, either the Note 3, Galaxy S III or 4. It takes in notifications and calls as they come in and also sends info back to the phone for complete functionality. It does not connect up to wifi, as that is what the phone is there for. However, S voice can direct your phone to go to places, such as the web, for you and by the time you pull the phone out to look at it, it will be displaying the results of your s voice command

Not to take and make calls independently. It would have to have something to pull from such as a 3 or 4G tablet or phone.

No it can't be used without a phone. It has to be paired with a device.

Technically yes - as a watch. Would you want to buy a $300 watch that is using about 10% of its intended functionality - probably not.

No, it must be paired via Bluetooth with a Galaxy device.
