The phone is great, but it is very expensive without some type of contract discount. I did find the number of pre-installed apps annoying. The built-in email app is good though allowing you to sign in to multiple accounts and allowing you to view a combined in-box. S-Voice needs some work to be useful. When you change a setting, you are supposed to be able to say "Hi Galaxy" at any point then give it a command. I have not been able to get that to work. Even after you touch the screen to start S-Voice, you still have to say "Hi Galaxy" before giving it a command--manually launching the app should be indication enough that I want to give it a command. Even at that point, most or all of the information is shown on the screen instead of read off to you. The whole point should be to make the phone fully functional to you when you have your hands and/or eyes otherwise occupied.
