    I'm not really impressed with this technology. Yes it is something different for consumers that are under 30 but I had a ViewMaster as a kid and it worked just as well. This technology is limited and little antiquated hopefully the design will also get better as time goes on. Aesthetically not pleasing as well.

    Came free with the phone purchase and is probably best that way. There are a few cool things to do with the headset but nothing currently that made it worth keeping. The screen quality is not quite good enough with the G7Edge to make it worth watching movies or other prolonged experiences on.
