Optical image stabilization isn't the only thing you get for that extra hundred dollars for the 6S plus. I don't know how it is accomplished. It is possible that they need the larger size to make it happen. I don't know how big the Samsung phones are either. But I do know that for me as a blind

What is optical image stabilization? Sounds like nothing I would need, and I like the smaller feel of the 6s. Just curious to know if this is necessary. By your post, it sounds like it costs more too. Oh, I was able to get a screen protector with gorilla glass. What a difference to the touch

I believe the correct way to make the phone go into speaker phone is to take the phone away from your ear and hold it as if it was sitting on a table. I.e. flat. It then thinks it is resting on a table and will go into speaker phone mode. Hth, Jeff On 2011-12-19, at 6:55 PM, Gigi wrote:
