Thanks for posting that Jack, it would appear that this review was quite premature, as nearly all the features that the reviewer reported as failing work on mine, especially Alexa, although I'll admit that I haven't tested the music controls so I can't confirm those. It appears that he didn't download the Vs. 1.1 update.

As for having to perform some of the setup on the phone, does he really expect to enter WPA2 passwords on an inch and a half screen with no keyboard? I find myself fat fingering them even on the five and a half inch screen on my Samsung Note. I find that "thoughtful and honest review" perhaps thoughtful but less than honest.

I will admit that it seems like the battery life is not as advertised, as I reported earlier. That's not a deal breaker for me, but is the reason I wouldn't give it five stars.
