I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 $500 smartphone,,, and don't like Android software making me "PLEASE WAIT,,," to fill and empty the email "Trash" folder !!

Also DO NOT APPRECIATE the lack of full email addresses and names vs abrevs !!

Also, having to tap 2 screen buttons to fully open every darn email !!

For the first 2 years I had a Navigation problem with a frequent annoying pop-up asking "Would you like to exit Navigation now?"
No, I'm driving for 30min or many hours !! What idiot software developer and manager would think, "oh let's annoy customers using Navigation with this pop-up!"
Instead we still need Navigation RETENTION, especially when you get a call or make a call and change screens. Anyone listening?

In Navigation,  I speak or type where I want to go, then am asked on another screen, "From your current location?"
Nawh, let's just wait till I am almost there, maybe a block away, then Navigate !! Stupid.
And then there is ANOTHER SCREEN, before Navigation actually starts !!  Again, what idiot software programmers decided to make Navigation for car drivers, not train engineers, so redundantly obtuse !?
Destination and navigate, dammit!!

In navigation, I wish I could choose overhead or angle view of next half mile OR ,,, NEXT 5 OR 50 MILE VIEW ANGLE.But no, I just get to tap between overhead 1/4mile or angled view of next 1/2 mile, not really enough if cars can go 70mph in California.  Yeah, they really legally can.  Also want to have option of selecting North at top of map or direction of travel at top, as a setting. Voice prompts come too late, too close to turn without enough preparation.  Again, cars go 65mph, and faster.

The camera is too slow to focus and too low in image detail. Not 1080p HD.

The speaker is very inadequate as even with added volume on called # page, the speakerphone volume and clarity are a "D-".
So forget about listening to music or music videos or even YouTube.

And data is sooo darn slow here in the sfbayarea !!
