    For some developing countries with much lower income, that an album costs you a day of wages, the behavior is acceptable. But even if thats the case for you, I would just keep quiet if I were you.

It's practical and I love it, I think it's totally worth it because their service is excellent.

            I'm pretty sure even Samsung fanboys didn't use it, just because of its ridiculous name.

At least this is honest. Hope they succeed.
