Anyone have it? Best phone I've ever had. There's so many apps/features, you can get lost in it. The best feature for me though is that you can talk into the phone and it will type it for you so you dont have to text.

I once had a phone that you could talk into as well. The great thing about this one was you didn't need the text to come up. The person you wanted to recieve the message could hear you talking and then they could do the same back to you. They don't make them like that anymore. Razz

Especially the voice recognition app by google, and Kakaotalk for free texting/sharing photos.
Also, who could possibly not love OTO internation app for international calls!!!

Love the phone, too!

The Galaxy phone has the walkie-talkie feature, too.

so you can talk internationally for free or something like that? I wish I knew that before I spent 40 minutes on the phone with the American IRS Evil or Very Mad

Is that in an app you have to buy? Or is that just with the iPhone?

I gained about five pounds the month I got this toy. Lovez it.

Kokio: download skype, friend! I save money with this phone. Now when I am out having a beer and want to ring up a friend back home I spend a fifth of a cent a minute!

OR, you could call 1-688-4949 then dial country code, area code, and the number and call internationally for FREE--the calls register on your phone as local minutes.

I haven't paid a penny extra for the past 6 months since using the number.

I'm on SK Telecom, btw.

Does OTO use your minutes? Or does it work on your data/internet connection?

i.e. is it completely free (assuming one has unlimited data)?

I wish I paid a little more and got the I-phone. When using the Internet, I find the phone to be painfully slow.

I think that would be down to your 3G connection strength in whatever area you're in. So blame your phone company. It's nothing to do with the phone you're using.

Thanks for setting me straight on that eamo. I guess I owe Samsung an apology.
