It's a slow learning curve. The manual is 148 pages, and unsearchable. So much downloading, so many acceptances and so many ambiguities. AppSaver. does it prevent data use when it's ON or when it's OFF? I read it several times, and I have no idea. Seems like a trick question. It tells you one thing on the toggle switch, then another below the description. Toggle the switch and the descriptions switch. Terrifying thing to use because of data wastage, and a real time waster to boot. I'd be happier with a 4G phone that does 1/4 of what this thing does.

Thus far I can't imagine this being a lot of use to me but I guess I'll get used to it. Every company vying for your attention. Google, Samsung.

The biggest problem being the carrier can't figure out how to connect it to the network. I spent an hour with a technician today. He kept resetting network connections. I can't tell what's happening. Either the phone is defective, the carrier doesn't pay for access in obscure areas and doesn't want me or the regulators to know, or they're trying to make off with my backlog of paid-up service to be transferred from my old phone. My guess is I'll be charging this back to my credit card because they will want to charge a restocking fee.
