Re: Samsung no longer shipping with Samsung Messages in the USA

I did actually gain one thing - I found that I could link my phone and
add Google Messages to my desktop and hence use my full size keyboard to
send SMS messages. With my big hands and Carpal Tunnel syndrome, that
was worth the change alone.

For years, my phone is mirrored on my PC at almost two feet tall.

If I'm home sitting at my desk, whether the phone is on Wi-Fi or USB, I
operate it completely using the PC keyboard, mouse, speakers & clipboard.
