Why do i have to use a phone with that device? i have a GUI inside the Headset so i could setup wifi and everything there. Why can't i pair a controller using the Go? Is Bluetooth tethered through the phone?
There are other TRUE standalone Headsets(and with more than 2 hour battery life....) out there - like the Mirage Solo. When HTC and Lenovo could get that right...why not a Company which is dedicated to VR?

Are you saying no one should have a right to post their thoughts on about a product from an outside source?You have a very strong opinion about something that you have no direct experience with. Not only that, but you are intentionally ignoring the benefits of an external dedicated OS as well as the fact that other mainstream hardware devices function the exact same way. You are arguing for arguments sake.
Mradr said:Seem like you are trying to be a closed minded person Zen:)I have first hand experience, so this is not about being either closed-minded nor open-minded in my case. I'm simply being knowledgeable. Your ongoing attempt to ignore the purpose of an external OS and other mainstream devices that function the same way sure does sound a lot more like "close-mindedness."
Mradr said: it doesn't make much sense to pair it with an app for setup.Yet Alexa, Google Home, and Amazon Kindle require external apps for setup. Keep spamming lol
Mradr said:You clearly don't understand GO still runs android at the end of the day even if the app runs on IOS or Android.What you clearly don't understand is that GO's extensibility comes from both the Android and iOS operating systems. You also clearly don't understand much about GO; which is expected since you don't own it. You're just here to cheerlead the OP.

Mradr said:What does owning a device have to do with anything in this case?
Mradr said:Yes I am side tracking them because you are promoting that those devices are doing well because of the fact they get set up by a phone - when in fact they are doing well for other reasons and services they provide. No different than GO is doing well because of the VR experience it provides.

Well we all all know that when zenbane as his head stuck in his own ass, there is nothing you can do to change it.
so please stop that silly conversation.
facts are FB is advertising the GO as standalone and it is not.
it requires additional help (and even worse, specific since ANY smartphone will not necessarily work) to get it work, whatever the task or reason is.

Your lack of ownership means that you don't understand the capabilities the companion App provides GO. Which is why in all of your spam you keep saying that the Apps purpose is merely to "sync," which simply isn't true. There's a lot more that can be done with the App, but you don't own it thus don't know it. So all we have is you providing bad information.

And your lack of insight in to what the extended applications provide Alexa, Google Home, and Amazon Kindle tells me that you don't own any of those either. The number of things that can be done with the Alexa mobile App is quite vast; far beyond what can be done with the hardware alone.One of Alexa's capabilities is to play custom games, like RPG's. Which can only be done with the extended App. Integrating Alexa in to your home (home security, lights, televisions, coffee makers, etc) can only be done with the extended App. The same is true for Google Home. So you are 100% wrong to argue that the extended App has nothing to do with with their success.Every aspect of your opinion in this discussion comes from a total and complete lack of information and understanding of some extremely simple and basic observable concepts. But you don't actually own anything that you're trying to have an opinion about. Hilarious.
