Well voices are totally subjective, but samantha has been one detraction from the Iphone for me. I'm hoping the acapella stuff comes along to a point where I could get rid of samantha if I bought one.
She sounds like a terminal pack a day smoker and all those voices dammage english phonetics like t and d or b and p. Ad to that the fact that she's slow and you have an all around package guaranteed to earn my eternal disgust. But again, voices are totally subjective. I've heard people say they don't like alex for various reasons.
