Samsung mobile consumer research team email

I received a email from them on 12/06. I'm interested in knowing if anyone else got one and if so did they respond and what were their biggest issues with the amazing phone. For me it was the auto correct (coming from iOS) here is a copy of the email they sent:

Got the same email. Patiently waiting for my $10 gift card I was promised :)

My biggest complaint was auto-correct/battery management. I also have come from iOS and i miss the autocorrect feature in the iPhones. My battery has been okay for the most part however if it could be tweaked a little more to not always have certain processes/programs running all the time without me having to manually shut them off, that would be great.

Try Swiftkey keyboard. It's got a terrific system for anticipating what you're typing, much better than auto correct, IMHO.
but then you loose the row of numbers up top, the one handed operation, the Spen integration thing that brings up a writing box when you pull the pen out when the keyboard is up, and the little microphone button that makes it easy to talk your messages and then quickly change back to keyboard or writing mode.

Aaaand the stock keyboard also predicts what you are going to type and allows you to swype or do whatever ells you want. Auto predict is definitely very helpful but it is still annoying to have to stop typing to touch the "the" prediction after I accidentally type "thr" instead of just changing it for me automatically. Not to mention swiftkey is 4 bucks for something my flagship android phone should automatically do.
Its like buying a $110,000 Audi A8 and then having to go and spend $600 on aftermarket headlights because the ones it came with arnt very bright. Its a silly oversight.

As much as I like having alternatives I think many people loose sight of the fact that many of us actually like a lot of the stock features of this phone.

Auto correction wasn't a deciding factor in getting this phone. I happen to be an excellent speller so there aren't many words that get missed. Since I know auto correction isn't built into the stock keyboard, I do myself a favor and re-read everything before clicking send.
