RE: Choosing Samantha as default voice
Hi, Andrew. I turned my iPod Touch off, then back on again to see who I'd get as Default; I got Samantha, even though I'd left it on Australian English as the language before shutting down. I had to change to Australia to get Karen as default. So I think you do have to switch to the U.S. as far as region to get that voice as default.

RE: Choosing Samantha as default voice
Hi, Andrew. It didn't seem to matter what region I had selected; I changed to Australia, and still had Samantha as my default voice. I got a wee bit of a hint when I listened to the podcast on the rotor options for IOS6. Under the VoiceOver, find the Language roter. Go through the list and double-tap to select the languages you want to use (I've selected U.S. English, Australian English, and Irish English.) These have now been added to the rotor settings. When you cycle through the rotor now, you should have Samantha/U.S. English as one of your choices. I'm not sure what she used to sound like, but that's why I have more than one kind of English option selected; it gives me the option to choose a different voice when I get frustrated with Samantha. For instance, for just moving around the screen, Samantha's fine; but if I were reading, I was thinking Karen might be nice to listen to, especially for long things.
