DMan, 30 Mar 2017How much servicing do you really need? I've used ONE phone ... moreBro, for me service stations are like insurance. You don't need them day in and day out. But when you need them, it's better to have one.
You might not have needed a service station so far. Good for you and I hope you never have to go to a service station ever. But if in case you have one nearby, just drop in for a while and see how many people come in for servicing on the daily basis. It would be a great pain in the wrong place if they don't have a full-service center nearby (rather than just a small for-repair-phone-collection office, which would return your phone in months, if at all).
Again, I am not trying to take anything away from any other smartphone company who doesn't have a service center coverage as good as Samsung. I was only expressing my point of view. To each his own. Peace. :)

VasiliS7edge, 30 Mar 2017The lag stopped at S5. Ha. That's cute. Is that when you stopped updating the OS or something?

They could have made it better if they only improved the design and layout of the home screen (I dislike the Metro UI on the phone). They had a good thing going with their Microsoft store on Windows 10 and in Mobile. Too bad they decided to let go.

This is a bit harsh! After all, Cortana and Outlook aren't exactly what you call useless bloatware. There are far worse fringe apps that classify as bloatware. Besides, you can disable the pre-installed Microsoft apps in Samsung.

Even my xiaomi used to show email from 2 places before I removed one of them... :D And it was automatic and kinda crazy.
Microsoft edition could come with Microsoft apps only, not all.
And by the way, what's microsoft's business in an android phone, despite their retail chain?
Why don't they center on Windows mobile instead?

I just disable those apps. He's calling them bloatware on purpose as an insult and acting like it will slow down the phone. It's not bloatware since it's a Microsoft edition, so it has to include Microsoft apps.

Only if pre-installed apps can't uninstall then it is bloatware. Don't care it came from Samsung, Google or Microsoft. All can be bloatware for different user usage.
You not using it and can't remove it = bloatware.
If can remove, then it is not bloatware.

Can you stop calling them bloatware? Very unprofessional, childish, and biased attitude. While I don't use Outlook or Cortana much, they do serve their purpose for those who rely on Microsoft products. There are some who rely on Google products, some on Apple products, and some on Microsoft (and some a mixture of all 3). There's nothing wrong with that.
Microsoft makes the best and most reliable (and nicest looking) office suite.

No one does bloat better than google. I can't install more than a handful of apps on my 8GB phone (non-expandable) because there's no free space left on the bloody thing after google installed all of its malware
